Another half hour done

baby resettled
WM unloaded/reloaded, washing hung up (again)
surfaces in kitchen wiped
washing loads sorted for tomorrow
baby bottles made for the day
diary updated for next week

now, as there is hot water left from baby bottles, going to attempt a half hour sit down with a cuppa and write a shopping list for a month to start whenever we move, with the hope that I can get a delivery shortly after we're in the new house (wherever that may be) as it's likely we won't have t'internet for at least 2 weeks after we move. Oh well, at least I've done the moving thing so many times I could probably do it with my eyes shut!

S&S Kitchen

Hi, and welcome!!

First off.. you do NOT get bombarded with mindless sterile spam/junk/rubbish Nor passages from the Bible.. though if you want to share please do

US version doesn't have Toots in any guise, nor does it have me!

We do what we can and do not feel guilty about the things we can't.

And best of all... We are more personal, have a genuine rappor and mutual appreciation that we are all in the same boat/sink/toilet/bucket with personal support through life trials ..just read this one thread that is evident.

:xmastree:

That's us, slightly nutty, with a few fruitcakes...:D

It isn't that long since we were divided into sane and not sane. I was mortally offended to be in the sane category.

Poohbear - everything crossed for you

Mumof2 - Have a lovely birthday

I sloped off to the garden centre this morning for my last child free mooch around. Now need to crack on with this place rather urgently.

*yawns*

Hello ((hugs)) for all in need, everything seems to be getting in the way of flying at present but I felt guilty so put the TD,WM and DW on before I posted

Lauradora congratulations
DustyDS and mumof2 happy birthday
Poohbear hope DS is better soon
Yesterday the parents group gave £40k to some fab local organisations to help improve their facilities for kids with special needs, so nice spending someone elses money and knowing that it stopped the money going back to the nasty Mr Cs.

Today DPs car needs sorting and his card has arrived to get his welder, so it's a shopping and hunting for parts day so I can have my car back! I also need to get the seats done with the vax as they are vile! They've been drying out for a few days in the garage, need to pull the bottoms off then bolt them back. Going to be a busy day!

This evening, start my studies properly

Have a nice day everyone x

Is it too clucky to go back to the hospital and stay with DS2 while he is having or waiting for tests? He is 22 but on his own over there?

Sorry it isn't flying related but you are my friends

Nixie, I agree with pigpen too. I had lots of losses too. You need to make a fuss and get help. But rest really well now. I was eventually prescribed folic acid as it wasn't freely available then. Also had progesterone. There is a lot that can be done and often it is something really simple. But mourn your loss too. DH and I always remember the first one

Well, my HHC turned into more like 45 minutes But hoovered two flights of stairs, two landings, living room, master bedroom, and two large rugs. I then swept and mopped the children's rooms, the kitchen, all the bathrooms and the downstairs hall. Emptied wm and re-loaded, emptied td and re-loaded and emptied dw and re-loaded. Am now going to fold clothes from td and probably iron them, then go for a run

Hi all, My plans were thrown up in the air as DS2 was rushed into hospital yesterday. We went to see him as soon as we heard. I have a friend who phones me with her troubles for 59 mins at a time and I was listening to her and poor DS2 couldn't get through to us. We still don't know what is causing the problem but he has more tests today. He is 22 and at uni just an hour and a half away so we can get to him easily. I am so glad he is not far away as he was before.
While we wait for news I will catch up on easy flying as we did

Hugs - depending on the level of her troubles I might be tempted to pull back - at least let her kbnow about DS not being able to reach you.

Not clucky at all - he's probably not feeling 22 at the moment - even if he says 'Oh,mum' he will be pleased to have you there.

Mumof2_2

Finished my HHC (well, 40 mins to be precise!) so ironing all done, house vacuumed right through. Got to sort out WM and then will sit down and knit or something, maybe even eat a couple of Ferrero Rochers - it is my birthday after all!

How did you get on Sockdrawer?

Poohbear59, I don't think you're being too clucky at all - go and spend some time with DS, I'm sure he'll appreciate it as hospitals aren't much fun are they.

hugs poohbear
I would go. It's not clucky at all, he would probably appreciate it IMO. You're still his mum after all. xxx

Thank you for the HHC mumof2.
I managed to get packing done,
kitchen finished
pup sorted out and brushed
quick whizz round the living room

Good news DH's appointment for his electrical conductivity test came through today, 24th feb so we'll not be waiting too long. x

GEUGH just looked out of the window and the sleet has turned to snow!

ETA Can one take a sewing needle on a flight? Hubby insists not. Was planning to do some embroidery.
