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

HMHB I had taken it off (as don't have his permission to be putting pics of him on the net!) but have put it back on for you. You can't really see him v well tbh

Eek at dd being on the move too

JKS hope your tablets kick in soon, remember to ask doctor how long the effect of the tablets will last for, is it something you will have to take every couple of months, iyswim

OMG HMHB I keep thinking shes just a little baby

I have soooo much to do feel like I'm drowning abit, so better get off here and get started

mini lists might be good

hang up wet washing (sniff first has been sitting in basket)
make chicken pie
declutter work top
text dh aunt about cake

HMHB DD was like that, did nothing then rolled right across the sitting room

Plum was fine last pg, this time it literally feels like my pelvis will split in half (sorry, i know, waaay to much info) but i am quite big and struggling a bit generally.

cba to c&p list and update, sat here in t-shirt and pants with my feet up

Hi all - the GP said prob Labryinthitis (sp?) which is a viral infection so no point in ABs, should clear up in about a week, the tablets should ease the whooshing feeling in about 3 days, then i can start cutting down if i want and take them as and when i feel i need it - have def been better this afternoon compared to yesterday

Hi cikecaka

Yum plum!

Well he just phoned me...nice voice (manly sounding!) Unfortunately the dc were yelling for lunch so I couldn't talk...he said he'll call back later.

Hi all.

Another day of madness. By madness I mean that you just rush around like mad and achieve very little then come home and the house is a state, 2 children are crying and there is nothing for tea. Nothing new in the world of slatterns I know. Am sitting having a cuppa while I consolidate.

Ok so he is more chatty on the phone...but he didn't remember anything I had told him before Don't know if I can be bothered tbh But I do need to get over wc infatuation... (maybe I need a men thread instead of cluttering up this one )

HMHB I have those days frequently! Today I thought I was organised but the meat hasn't defrosted so I'm having to rethink. Cuppa sounds a good idea, might join you.

Alice bet there isn't more dust than there was in my house til I did it this morning! And nobody can have more ironing than me...was actually thinking of giving my friend a tenner to do some of it for me (she is a fraek like pbm who irons everything )
