Morning all, been up since 6 but achieved nothing apart from feeding and dressing the kidlets. Taking DS1 to playgroup - more so I get some adult conversation than anything else - so need to get a wiggle on, want to put some laundry away and make beds before we go at least.

Morning all,
I'm in, Thanks to Pigpen, Toots & Soappie.
I hope everyone's ok.
It's been one of thoses weekends.:cool: On Saturday night i went to OH's for a curry with some friends, one of which is a computer whizz and offered to fix the f key from my laptop. OH went to collect the laptop on the way to get the curry and then the friend fixed it and Dss took it back to my house in a carrier bag. What i didn't know was that it had been on standby the whole time it was carted back and for and now it won't switch on:mad: and the f key has fallen back off.:cool: So i'm having to use the pc which is a PITA.
Yesterday the plumber had to turn off the gas to move the boiler, i didn't quite understand when he was asking if i was sure it would be ok if it was off until tonight.:o I was supposed to be going to my Dad's today so i wouldn't have needed to use the cooker anyway. When he left i realised that meant no hot water as well.:eek: So we all had to go to OH's for a shower. I can't even use the dw.:eek:
Ds1 has woken up looking really pale and feeling sick so we're not going to my Dad's now.
I'm going to get my list and then i'll update later. I may concentrate on my room today before the workmen get here as sharing with Ds2 means it's a right state. I've just made the bed and 2 mins later he got in it to hide from monsters.:cool:

Morning all
Lots of rain here overnight which was great as I'd moved plants in the garden and DS1 and I had sprinkled grass seed on some bare patches so all got a nice watering.
Plan today is to do some bits in the family room, sorting, cleaning and paperwork. We are all having our haircuts and DS1 has an orthodentist appointment too.
Boys are to sort pencils cases/school stuff and strip their beds.
See you later.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Morning everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend. It's hissing down with rain here, so no chance of getting my laundry mountain air dried today! I actually have a load out now, so do I just bring it in, spin it and TD it??
Once I've done my dailies I'm in again this week. I'm aiming for level 2, but you never know, DD seems in a cooperative mood so I could manage more.
Must do list:
Get outgrown baby clothes boxed and bagged ready for loft
The enormous ironing pile (to make room for more, sigh)
Parrot cleaned out
curtains in living room rehungToodles-SAHM to a beautiful 3 year old DD, Baby #2 on the way!Just started comping 02/11/11 Everything crossed!0 -

Today i am working from home, but i should get some time to do some things anyway. They still haven't sent me my work for the day and since it's my second to last day before maternity i'm in no rush to remind them.OMMMM!!!
Hope everyone has a lovely and productive day today! I'll be back later on to chat. I just need to dry my hair before my fringe goes WOO! ::stickyuppy::
