Evening all

where has the week gone?????

Anyway...dd2 is recovering fine.Still has huge impressively bruised black eye. Am keeping her off till Monday.
I took in suitably steaming letter for head teacher today,as it proved impossible to get to see her without several accompanying small children...

Have done basically bare minmum all week really.
Had great hopes for the kitchen...sigh...may try and catch up tomorrow...

Slightly upsetas oven now appears to have died .... not great given that its dd2's bday next Tues and I need to make a cake
She did however look quite pleased at the prospect of a shop bought choc fudge cake instead

Ok...will attempt some forward planning for tomorrow

To Do Tomorrow:
Buy present for dd3 friends bday party on Sat
Buy more dog food
buy couple of small bits for dd2 bday
washing...as always
put away clothes in littlies room
hopefully a bit more gardening

more to follow when brain working better!
bbtomorrow

swanriver · 13/05/2010 22:10

Bare minimum sounds my sort of week OFM

had a lovely afternoon grappling with garden for an hour between appts, so many other things I should have been doing but garden always ends up at bottom of list so very pleased.

Children not out cold till 9pm again, Dh and I are barely passing each other in corridor at this rate, although he came home early today at 6.20 I've tidied the kitchen again and sorted uniform laundry etc, and poof! that's the evening gone.

Hope WOLF you are not doing ANYTHING DULL, and just relaxing, and enjying that post-wedding discussion that is such a part of whole proceedings! Congratulations if you are lurking, hope you are not, and have better things to do.

Nuttybear · 13/05/2010 22:52

Oh! Wolf yes Congratulations but I thought it's tomorrow! Good luck if it is or break a leg which ever you choose>(She won't be reading this will she!!!!!!)

OFM I hope they take notice, this makes me very angry for you.

Wendy Just drink and eat what you can. I am so excited for you

Waves to everyone else.

I made some hairslides for EV's daughters for school, come and see here. I also have a folksy shop now too anything to make some money as we are desparate again!!

I saw my plastic surgeon today and guess whay Ruby I can have a tummy tuck when I lose somemore weight. How cool is that.

He said he can see that I am losing weight and is going to have a chat to my Gastric consultant about my tummy swelling and the anemia.

I need to have a iron of 13 or above for an operation, not that I am contenplating one in the next few years, but it is nice to know that all is well and I can have one when I want.

He said to just ring him or drop him a card, with thunderbirds are go on!

So got nothing done fly wise, but I am OK

Makingchanges · 14/05/2010 11:38

I can see lots of new names but no time to catch up until later so welcome all newbies.

I feel all disorganised and unsure of what I need to do so i'm posting yesterdays list so I can see what is still on from there

To Do today

  • Sort out two baskets of clean clothes - to fold and put away. - C/F
  • washing x3 loads - C/F
  • two book reviews for uni prep session tonight - C/F
  • tidy toy mountain in lounge - think I might black bag and see if DD notices - Done
  • make tuna pasta for tea - Done
  • bathroom clean and de-clutter - C/F
  • hoover through downstairs - Done
  • sign language notes copied up and homework done from last night - C/F
  • sort out sock drawer - I have bought some drawer divider things as I can't find underwear in my drawer and they are just thrown in - I'm hoping this will make it easier that emptying the drawer everytime I want a pair of socks - C/F
  • DD to nursery - Done
  • DD to ballet - Done

Doesn't look like I was very productive yesterday but thats because I decided to sort fridge out and batch cook and freeze before things went out of date, then DD's friend came round and my plans went out of window. Have spent all morning today trying to fix phones which have died on me - only one working out of triple set - now looking like a trip to argos to get new ones.

  • Sign lang notes
  • 2 book reviews
  • sort basket of clothes
  • washing
  • sock drawer
  • clean bathroom
  • dd to nursery
  • argos for new phones

At least tea is done as I cooked it yesterday
