Queued for an hour at the pictures in the rain and the film had just sold out as we got there:mad: so we've now got tickets for tomorrow morning which obviuosly meant I couldn't use my Orange Wednesday:mad: then DD decided that she wanted to stay with her friends who were going to stay for the later showing at 4 even though we'd already got her a ticket for tomorrow so she's got to see it twice - we couldn't do that as DS has his swimming lesson tonight.

Then went to drs to pick up prescriptions for DH and DS. Went to chemist and the dr's had put the stuff DH didn't need on his script instead of the stuff he did.:mad: So back to the drs who luckily sorted it out quickly and then back to the chemists. Then called in Lidls and came home.

So a wasted afternoon and now we've got to the pics tomorrow instead.

I'll run to catch you up with your HHC MrsChaos

Pigpen - keeping a baby clean, fed and happy is not nothing!

other than Tuesday when her ladyship came she hasn't been dressed since last Thursday! she spends half the day happily hopping up and down in her jumperoo.. I think she is part flea!

DW fixed.. so that has been on twice
WM x2 done and
TD x1 .. so far!

I now need to empty one WM onto the airer, the other into the TD, get veg in for dinner, and reload both WM's

I need to get the boys to change their smelly bedding and the 3 small pinks can strip their beds and DD2 can remake them, I'll hang them over doors to dry, or just bin them and use the newer ones from OH's gran. We inherited new-to-us pillows and duvets and a gorgeous huge pillow which I promptly claimed!

Right I cant wait till flipping thursday cos thats bin day. I think I filled that bin up on Friday a fortnight ago, I've not been able to chuck what I wanted since then! but hopefully RoD and GoD (garage of doom) both cleaned out - only doomy place now is the attic.... never say never, I might have a mad five mins?

Spoons for lamewolf, I'll try not to leave germs on them - you could do without that too
L-L hugs, we're always stronger than we think
Vanilla - I couldnt work out why the tip would have your tyres? Or cause you to need them. I think my heads a bit foggy :rotfl:
Mumto5 - payrise :j YAY
Greenbee - congrats on the promotion!

EEEEK :eek::eek::eek::eek: thread replies cut short - so hugs and spoons and sticks to those in need
But beagle just tried to chase a cat in the garden, tried to squirm under our gate (between 2 garden levels) and squirmed in the biggest pile of doodoo she could have!! :eek::eek::eek: Had to run her up the stairs and into the bathroom - Bathed beagle. very soggy ME! Filthy bathroom!
Usually she loves a bath, to the point of getting in with you if she can get away with it!! but ohhh no, not today, so I've had to get changed as she managed to cover me in doodoo and green slimey stuff :rotfl::rotfl:
And of course now she's gone loopy doing wacky races round the house, cos she's wet so the huskies want to eat her AARRRGHHHHHHHHHH
(kinda glad of me stuffy nose though )

Sooooooo any chance of bathroom tomorrow boss lady??
Seems I'll be doing it anyway :rotfl:

again sorry if I've missed anything important, I've had this reply window open since before the beagle incident :rotfl:

Hugs for lady liberty and spoons for lamewolf.

I am in need of spoons myself at the moment.

But...I can see my bedroom floor and DH has built the pop-up wardrobe so all our clothes have homes! I will have clean bedlinen, a non dusty carpet, and I have convinced him to get rid of some truly minging old clothes.

"That's a good jacket that"...."It has stains all over the collar"...."I'll get it dry-cleaned"...."does it even fit you?"...."I can get it on"...."but you can't do it up!" one-nil to me!!

I got rid of ALL my OH's clothes in one fell swoop...and TV and an x box ... oh and OH:rotfl:

The LSB has texted me:eek: wants to meet up. Think this would not be a good idea.

one e bay item sold..curtains didn't sell despit number of watchers but I'll just wait for NEXT time. I have decluttered left over tuna-and-sweetcorn from DDs pasta lunch yesterday into a jacket potato for my lunch - and,as I had mixed it with mayo it was lush. Now decluttered all dregs of mayo and salad cream from the fridge:T

Leftover cooking goes on apace - I have used up leftover bread and made bread-and-butter pudding (one of my very favourites).

And I *think* I am going to make cheese and onions for tea...YEARS since I had it - because I have LOADS of onions.

Got rather irritated listening to Vanessa (standing in for Jeremy) on R2 - talking about people on the breadline - well yeah - but nuggets, chips and beans could have been replaced by HM vegetable soup - much cheaper and healthier. Felt like ringing up and referring them all to Weezl's thread.

I have never bothered about getting babies dressed, they don't care and it just generates washing.

valli think Vanessa has limited experience of life on the breadline.

Valli

yeah she was very sympathetic BUT people who are living hand-to-mouth need more practical suppport IMO
apart from anything else they get SUCH a raw deal with, for example, meters when they have to prepay.

*gets off soapbox*

I was erm rather idle 'dressing' DD - she spent a LONG time in babygrows and a heck of a lot of them were blue...which is now her favourite colour and she LIVES in trousers :rotfl:

I have booked my beauty treatment! I am having a swedish facial and a lash tint...

*Job which has been on list since September now ticked off*

Sort of flying related...

Just double checking our accounts for the end of the month and I have a question. I have a direct debit that goes out on the 29th of the month, when will it go out this month? I was getting ready to move some money over to make sure I could cover it but don't know if it goes on the 28th or the 1st.

I'd be inclined to assume it'll go out on 28th. On the basis that it's the last day of this month, and it's this month's payment, not the 1st day of next iyswim.
Does your bank have the facility for you to look at your Direct Debits online and see when the next payment will be taken? That'd tell you for sure.

Done all I can of today's list; only "must do" left now is a date with Dr Kawashima, so that's next.:o
