  • Morning All. :hello:

    Just a quickie to say :wave: to everyone. I hope you're all feeling fine and dandy today. lil_me hope your head is better today.

    Time management isn't my strength either Toots I thought that soappie's suggestion to decide how much time you're going to spend on something, setting an alarm if necessary, was really sensible.

    DD2 has got a gymnastics competition today. So off we go, en famille, to cheer her club on!!! It really makes us laugh, cos there's some REALLY competitive parents at these things!! :eek: I think that lots of them genuinely think that little 'Jonny or Jenny' are going to be representing Team GB in 2012!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    We just think it's fun, DD2 enjoys it, but I don't think we've got the next Olga Corbutt in our midst.... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Off we go then, have a good day everyone. And please feel free to kick my butt tomorrow, Flying has slipped dramatically for the last few days. :rolleyes:

    Morning all.

    Day 4 without hot water! Harrumph.
    DS has just got up - playing footy this afternoon - has got kit on NOW.
    Why?

    My paper hasn't come! If they have delivered it two doors down AGAIN I am going to be VERY CROSS.

    Morning all

    Ex is coming to pick DD up at 11am-ish and I need to go into town straight away so jobs are getting done now and I'm hoping when I get back from town, except for putting the washing on, that I'll be able to get stuck into my studying!!!

    To do :
    • Laundry
      • [STRIKE]Bedding[/STRIKE]
      • Dark
      • Light
    • Tea - in slowcooker (meatballs in bol sauce) just need to cook some rice to have with it.
    • Bath DD
    • Dishes
    • Stuff out for tomorrow.
    Right, off to put the bedding out, and sort out the other washing. etc Its never ending!!! :eek::eek:

  • Morning all :)

    I've done quite well so far ...
    -wm done x2 & hanging on line (not sure if it will dry tho!)
    -kitchen & lounge s&s just to try & keep tidy from yesterday
    -dw on
    -chicken out to defrost for dinner

    As for the rest of the day I need to...
    -menu plan for the week
    -order from mrT
    -hoover through, upstairs & downstairs
    -work out schedule for dd1 for homework so she knows when she's allowed out to friends houses (taking a while to settle into high school routine :o )
    -more washing
    -ironing
    -lunches for tomorrow
    -dinner money for dd1 for week & cash for art / maths materials in school, but this involves going out so might take dd2 out in buggy later if weather holds

    think thats it, going to put towels in machine then get dressed, oh, might have another :coffee: too

    catch you all later,

    Morning all

    Thanks for the get well wishes, head ache seems to have gone, still got the cough etc but that's better at least. Kids have been a pest this morning and trashed the caravan moving cushions around etc (doesn't take a lot to make it so you can't walk from one end to the other, so I'm going to go get dressed and kick them outside while I sort it out. Kids clubs on at 10.30 I think, if not we'll go swimming, then back to vacuum and clean windows.

    PF hope your DD is feeling better soon. Sarah good luck to your DD2. ((hugs)) for smelly Valli :p Loopy slow the heck down you're making the rest of us look bad!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all

    One load of washing on the line (including the throw a bird pooed down yesterday). It's a nice sunny morning but there was a heavy dew last night.

    I've emptied the cat litter tray and scrubbed it out and refilled it, then vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Prepped veggies to cook roast later today.

    I've taken off some wallpaper border that I put on my bedside cabinets a few years ago (when it was fashionable!) and got the stickiness off. Looks better I think. They are old but nothing really wrong with them so I don't feel like buying new.

    I'm itching to plant my bulbs and plants but I know the soil is too wet and there's no point mushing it up until I've got all the plants I want and the bark to top it off. I hope we get enough dry weather before the rain starts again.

    I feel in the mood to do something......sort something out......but I don't know what. I expect I could find something if I really tried!
  • Morning all, hope you are having a nice weekend. Just been catching up on the posts i've missed then going to go do my weekly foodshop. Really need to get a wriggle on...
