LW big hugs.

Managed to get the roses sorted before the rain started, so all washing brought in. Most dry so not too bad but it gives rain for the rest of the day.

Think i'll have a go at the bathroom, it really needs it.

Afternoon all,

Hugs to Pigpen.

Congratulations Grateful.:j

I now have a working Dw :j thanks to neveah's friend coming to plumb it all in for me.:T The only problem is i've got nothing to put in it yet, i'd already washed the breakfast dishes before they came, we didn't have lunch as we went to McD's for breakfast and Ds2 had party food in nursery. I've put our coffee cups in there and even went into Ds1's room to see if there was anything in there. :cool: I won't even be able to fill it later as it's Dsd2's Birthday and we're going to OH's for food and cake. Someone remind me of this when i'm moaning i CBA to empty the Dw.:o

I think i'm going to abandon the lists for the week. The house isn't too bad and as long as i do my dailies it should be ok. I've got loads to do before we go away early Saturday morning so i think i'm going to concentrate on that.

I'm just going to make another coffee and then i'll sort out a list.

Write packing list
Washing / drying / ironing
Pack
Clean rabbits
Clean hamster
Instructions for girls for feeding/ cleaning out rabbits
Get cheese out of freezer & grate
Use up / freeze contents of fridge
Empty all bins

Make sandwiches / drinks for journey

I may need to scream!!!!!

I have just had school on the phone.. apparently DD3 had been involved in an incident.. refused to speak to a teacher to tell them what happened even though she was not in trouble for it.. she has then been taken by another teacher and spoken to and eventually blabbed everything she could thinks of from DS3 breaking her pencil yesterday and Tiddles kicking off in the car on the way home to DS2 being a !!!!!! last night.. so now I have them on my case.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did explain roughly what happened last night and said she isn't th eonly one who is very upset and such behaviour from DS2 none of us can deal with!! I REALLY need this right now when sproggit is after putting in an appearance. The sooner this baby is out and we can get some kind of normality the better...

Just slurping my cuppa and I'm off to collect the pinks.. hopefully I can get them home in an incident free manner.. seeing as it is usually tiddles starts on the way home hopefully the new shoes will stop her! She was a turd this morning though!

Um, can I go on the carrying a flybaby list again please?

I will try to carry this one more carefully!

grateful thats wonderful news - congratulations to you and DH - you had better be very careful young lady - healthy pregnancy vibes for you.
Aunty I do believe its getting brighter here too.
roudtuit you are doing very well and just keeping the bits (dots) you have done clean and tidy is great and slowly you will add more dots and then start joining them up - this is only your first week so just think if you keep doing a little just imagine how good it will look in 3/4 weeks!!!
piggers you are so right about the violence you cant let it become an acceptable thing. ETA not now!!! what next? I hope you can talk to her and settle her down and the rest of the children behave - what about talking to them as a group at teatime maybe and explaining that its not acceptable and at the moment waiting on the baby is very tiring and trying for you so can they pleeeease behave???
kazw we have a lakeland here and I have to avoid it like the plague!! thank you so much for mentioning the seed sale and giving some to your father at Christmas - i will get some for my brother - I had never thought of that and he is hoping their big greenhouse will be erected in time to use for next year. excellent idea :T
LameWolf sorry to hear that Molly dog is not coming for her hols now but its not long until Penny will be with you. perhaps you could help A by doing it the other way round i.e. you could have Molly for a longer spell and he could visit her at yours? he could provide the food so you were not out of pocket? Ok about tonight - are you driving - I dont think so or you would have mentioned it i think so this is an outing you can relax for - why not pamper yourself a bit this afternoon and get dolled up - no more cleaning just chill and save any spoons - maybe even a wee nap? I find that its the outings that I am not looking forward to that turn out nice - you will be able to have a little drinky as well. put your favourite glad rags on and your positive hat and go with the flow (((hugs)))
SS Supergirl (((hugs))) for DD3 - hope she feels better soon - enjoy your day at home!
holly thats great news about the DW - dont worry you will soon fill it! No more cleaning lists for you until you have got everything organised for going away - no last minute crisis needed!!!


well my cleaner came early so she did an hour and a half of ironing and some other bits - not quite what I had in mind but at least i have decent looking clothes for next week.

might risk doing some washing as its def looking better here
