Dusting off our lists, scrubbing up our slattern ways, you won't find any April Fools here!

[PlumBumMum]

Everyone is welcome,
we are a friendly bunch,
we post our lists big or small,
tick jobs off as we go along.

We give each other a kick up the bum when needed or shoulder to cry moan on,
and a pat on the back.

Cake & Coffee Alcohol always welcomed

Freak If he is a nice man you don't really want him chasing after you anyway as he sort of has a gf
And yes it has only been 3 days

Only 1 more basket of ironing to do

Is it sad that i feel a bit smug and pleased when someone says "I agree with Alice"?

Friend been and gone, living room a mess, but rest of the house looking ok, and it is only toys anyway.

I know, I'm not really a crazy bunny boiler(I was being a bit tongue in cheek), and no plum, I wouldn't It's just a bit of an anticlimax after the excitement on saturday I suppose.

Morning

Ali is staying with her PIL's this week i think because her DH is away.

No list today, outlisted myself yesterday, not to mention the huge amount of cleaning/housework i did. Had a bad night last night too, 5 trips to the loo! Just been to MW, all ok.

Today i am mostly trying to stay awake, and stop the house getting too messy.

Might make some cake at some point, i want to eat cake, but cba to actually make it.

Plum that little fantasy was Not Helpful

Have completely wasted the morning, need to go to supermarket and then I think we need to be out of the house doing something, no inspiration as to what though

Alice I would bring you cake if I was nearby, I know that feeling well.

Aww, thanks Freak

I want cake too!

I have had a very easy lazy day, and even managed a little snooze on the sofa while DD watched the Gruffalo.

Need to finish my coffee, get changed, then up to the horses.

Second night of shepherds pie tonight. Made double last night, so just need to add mash to it and pop it in the oven.

Would like to (need to really) do some baking this evening, so would really like DD in bed at a decent time (was 8pm again last night)

So, um, would you say a man mentioning his privates to you meant that he wanted you to think about them????
