because a man on the phone told me to. what haveyou done?

I walked into a bookstore and asked the young man to find me a book called "Everybody Poos" and "Poo Goes to Pooland". As I paid I felt like I was buying a packet of condoms in a chemist.

Got up.
Had shower.
Made breakfast for everyone.
Made all the beds.
Tidied the youngest girls' bedroom.
Bathed the girls.
Tidied whole house.

Dusted everywhere.
Washed the kitchen floor.
Did 5 loads of washing.
Dried it and put it all away.

Misdee who was the man on the phone or was it just some random bloke with a toilet-measurement fetish?

he was Peters OT. i have been in a measuring frenzy today. 'can you measure this, what about this, do you have one of those, no, do you have room for one, can you measure the gap?'

Ah, that makes sense...

Lots of things, including booking a holiday for June 2007

I had an exam today - one 3 hour paper in the morning and another 3 hour paper in the afternoon.

Then I fed the kids, played with them, read their books, put them to bed.....and switched on Mumsnet.

what exam bluebear - how did it go?

misdee - knew this woudl be your thread with a rational explanation

Where's your holiday to GDG?

Exam was on clincal genetics - it's vocational, and I don't think I did perfectly - but I answered all the questions and did my best. Totally exhausted now though.

I think we need more details on AussieSim's book choices too!

Wow - interesting! (Not sarcy here btw, am also a scientist!)

Holiday is to Cornwall - Tredethick cottages - they book up so ridiculously far in advance and I wanted to get the half term!

Was very cheeky at doctors surgery. Wanted to see my own GP but guard dogs on reception said no appointments. So made appointment with GP in room next to my own GP's and when I went in to see him I pushed a note under own GP's door asking him to phone me. Looked well! No wonder my heart rate was up when he checked it and gave me beta blockers . But own GP phone me this afternoon and I'm seeing him tomorrow.

My book choices were for my 3yo DS who has no prob with weeing on the potty or toilet but who seems to have some strong moral or otherwise objection to pooing on the potty or toilet. Apparently not that rare a problem (as I got the book recommendations from a thread on here) BUT yet again one of those things that no one tells you about when you begin talking about having kids - just more evidence that it is a big fat CONSPIRACY engendered by parents who have gone before us cleaning up poo out of undies in public and in their lounge rooms.

i looked at furniture for my dd's new bedroom and already got it to £200 . the room is only 7ft ish by 7ft ish...smaller the room, more it costs. that's without decorating and carpet too. ohhhhh im dreading it. will be rolling my sleeves up in two weeks to wallpaper and paint lots of pink sparkly stuff. need magnetic wall paint things too, she loves magnets.

shopped, bought myself a new laundry trolley and basic, assembled said trolley, took dd1 to kindy, the usual - made lunches, breakfast, changed nappies, etc. Had devonshire tea whilst out, stitched the edges of about 80 nre reusable baby wipes, made up container of wipes, mumsnetted.

Everything imaginable except my research project...which was the only thing I was meant to be doing . Will do lots this evening. Promise. At least before House starts...maybe do some more in the many advert breaks...but not once ER starts.

Done my weekly shop...twice.

I was about half way round the supermarket when school rang and asked me to collect dd1 as she was poorly. Unfortunately, I'd not got as far as the food section in the big Tesco extra so I had to go back later and finish!

I was on the final day on my CEG training course, so I have been doing role play all afternoon. Half the time I was pretending to be a careers advisor; the other half pretending to be a prisoner needing advice or a teenage school leaver.

I also unpacked and sorted out DD's birthday present which arrived yesterday.. It is a big pink electric scooter and looks fab :)

Not really done much more other than normal day to day household stuff.

Twas my b'day . Toast and marmalade delivered in bed on a Disney Princess tray ,school run followed by coffee morning, then a shopping binge [grin} - bargain boots at Debenhams !
