    Morning all xx

    Well the effing plumber came, tickled the door and left!!!!!!! We ahve a doorbell for a pretty good reason.. when we are int he back of the house we can't hear the front door!!! He ALWAYS rings the bell, except today.. it is infuriating!!!!! I could slap him!

    Smallfry has scribbled on the tablecloth, pushed it and plates and beakers onto the floor and washed her hands in the margarine!! I am going to be tying her up by bedtime I think!! What a horror she is being!! She is arguing with everyone now and demanding jamjamjamjamjam!!

    We are in for a fun day I think!

    Off to have a cuppa, visit the loo and check the ebay parcels then fo post them and collect my specs..

    Laters!!

    aye, my sister will send me some if I ask her. :D But she's sending me SOO much already!!.. Chocolate oranges.. dream topping, OXO cubes, cream eggs.. :rotfl: you should see the amount of stuff that gets sent back and forth between Scotland and Holland! And I honestly don't mind sharing some Dutch goodies with you all! :D

    I love that dressor as well.. I have already got the coffee table that matches it.. and still on the want list is the computer cabinet.
    :D

    Right. oatmeal cookies coming out of the oven. Time for a cup of coffee and a biscuit.. kids are ganging up round the oven now!!

  • I've got a bit of a hangover this morning, but a happy DH. As a reward for me paying him some attention, and giving him a bacon buttie this morning, he has gone on a cleaning mission. I washed up and sorted baby stuff out. He fed the baby, and then he has voluntarily took out the compost and recycling, and is currently hoovering my whole house. ;) Don't know what has got into him today. He's normally helpful, but this is beyond normal.

    I'm not complaining at all, and enjoying the peace while the baby is asleep.

    Saturday 24/2:
    [STRIKE]Make baby bottles[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wash 2 loads of DH’s clothes[/STRIKE] 2nd on the go now
    Empty airers of dry clothes
    Refill with wet washing
    [STRIKE]Deal with post[/STRIKE]
    Buy dad’s birthday pressie
    Wrap it
    [STRIKE]Make bread[/STRIKE] dough in now, breadbuns to make at about 11am
    Visit DH’s boss to see their baby for 1st time
    Make pizza dough for tea
    Watch dancing on ice
    Swap bedding on our bed and baby’s cot
    [STRIKE]Empty hoover before starting[/STRIKE]
    Hoover mattress
    [STRIKE]Hoover our room, babies room[/STRIKE], spare room, [STRIKE]bathroom, landing, stairs, hall, living/dining room, kitchen, porch[/STRIKE]
    Dust – our room, spare room, babies room, bathroom, hall, landing
    Wipe window sills – our room, landing, babies room, spare room, living room, kitchen
    Clean mould from bathroom window sill
    Ring cattery to book cats in for next weekend
    Clean fridge, including door seal
    Clean cooker, wipe worktop, 2 tables, all appliances
    Wipe tiles
    Clean sink
    Clean cat feeding mat
    Clean all skirting boards, door handles and light switches
    Clean 2 downstairs doors
    Clean bath, sink, toilet
    Clean bathroom and landing windows
    [STRIKE]Declutter dining room table, and desk[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]
    Do all shredding
    Empty shredder
    [/STRIKE]


    I thought the list would take most of the day, and perhaps not all get achieved, but it's definitely easier with 2 people doing it.

    Hope you are all having a nice weekend with your families. I'm glad to see all the 'naughty children' stories have been about little girls, or i would be feeling very aprehensive about what jinks the baby might get up to as he grows. ;)

    Michelle, x

    Morning Becca

    I would be more than happy to send you over some stardrops. I bought quite a few bottles when I started 'flying'!!! In fact you would be doing me a favour and giving me more space under my sink!!! Just PM me with your contact details. Hope that everyone has a great weekend! JoJo x

    Just for Michelle!!

    My oldest son used to suck dogs noses and garden snails. He brought a dead mouse into the house one time and waited until all its flesh had rotted away so he could look at its bones!!!

    My middle son is 11 and STILL has a dressing up fetish. He wore wellies day and night until he was 5, he had permanent welly rings round his legs for months. And he was circumcised.. TWICE! He also is the one with the most problematic special needs.

    The youngest one has a 'fiddling' habit (in his pants) he asked the HV is she wanted a feel because it feels nice :eek: He pee'd in the kitchen bin frequently! He wore nappies for bed until he was 6.5!!! He has Aspergers!! He used to eat dead slugs! He peels wallpaper and picks holes in the walls.
