"Slatterns fulfil a socially useful role: they allow others to feel superior, even other slatterns."

[wastingaway]

Welcome to the slatterns thread, where everyone is welcome to share their lists, get motivated and share tips.

Meant to tell you all that I saw a thread on Netmums today more or less the same as this except they have washing machine and making the bed smileys .

Nice to know we are not the only listmakers.

Ooh I would like a making the bed smiley
Crap about your sister CWWM

JKS - 2 ex-boyfriends are from Wickham, it is v.close to my parents.

We had no internet this morning, disaster! Although I have got quite a lot done AND played trains and done drawing with DS so feeling quite virtuous.

Hi all
farmer is out spreading again in this lovely weather and I wanted to do the beds

Ali Ours is a digital one we got years ago, so will definitely be getting another, ours had this defrost thing which I loved so actually I better get a move on about replacing it!!
I must have missed something along the way didn't realise you were going to your brothers wedding, hugs, hope you are ok on the day I hate that nervous sick feeling I get if I think I'm going to bump into my dad!

CWWM - no his foot isn't great, it's better than it was and he can hobble about but don't want him bumped into at pre-sch. Due to go back to hosp tomorrow morning so should know more then. Hopefully it's just bruised and he'll be fine to go on fri at least.

Plum I decided going was easier than not. Mum and Dad are so devastated over the whole thing as it is, and me not going to the wedding would really be the end of any relationship with my brother. For the sake of not wrecking my relationship with my parents, we are going but just for the ceremony and meal and then we're coming home. Brother is not happy that we are not staying later and still seems to think we ought to leave DS overnight. The twat.

Blimey JKS, 'washed and sorted gloves hats and scarves!!!' you are Super Slattern. Here, wear this cloak, lycra costume, (pants over tights) and twirl around in the nearest shed. Most impressive.
Have been to a yoga thingy, so am now enlightened. Will do a list tomorrow from my new (higher) vantage point. Note: tomorrow does not exist

Thank you mini for helping out.

CWWM - CBA? What is that? Hope not too stressful.

I haven't done anything since last post but thought Mini would like to know that DD has had 3 oz of milk from a bottle! Hurrah. She cried like mad then took it then cried again. She also had a few spoons of jarred food.
