Morning Ladies,

Welcome to the new joiners and returners.

You sound very happy after your birthday celebrations CY. I hope the feeling stays with you. A 2 mile walk before 7am is very impressive!

Poohbear - I'm sure your DS appreciates the encouragement you are giving him. Its really hard when your children are struggling and all you can do is offer supporting words, the good thing about emails is that they can be re-read and unlike a conversation can offer comfort and support time and time again.

I've walked the littlies to school and bought a nice multi seeded loaf to have with some soup for lunch.

Plan now is to go to Tescos as the fridge is looking rather empty. Then I will do a bit of ironing before meeting my friend for a walk at 12.30.

DH tidied the kitchen when I did the school run so the list is looking trimmed

Morning All

My youngest DS is 21 today, this makes me feel OLD.

Made a start on the kitchen.
sounds like the 2nd load of washing is just coming in to land, so can run WM through cleaning cycle when it has finished.

I am going to take dogs for a walk and post letters whilst WM is on cleaning cycle, then finish kitchen when I get back.

Welcome acl2009 !! My DD is 27 weeks, maybe I should encourage her to join in too. She is a lurker

I have scrubbed the oven door glass and the bottom of one oven is now shiny and clean.

DH was reading over my shoulder over the weekend. I ended up not sending the message as he saw I was writing about him. He asked who DH was and when I told him, he thought I was calling him D***Head:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

As you know I would never do that.:)

I have spoken to DS3's company and they are going to contact him and try to calm him and help him. It is over 4 months and they said he has cabin fever. :(poor soul. But they did suggest that maybe he needs longer to get his work back on track.

3 washloads are on the line. Sadly when changing our bed i tugged too hard at the sheet - and it is now in pieces! Still at least I won't have to iron it!

Have spent the rest of this morning ironing - lots still to do...

morning all
thank you for the lists Juliejim
welcome to the newbies and the returners
im in again this week
flet id achieved a lot last week but got up this morning and it looked like someone had trashed the house sink and worksurface full of dirty pots (i didnt wash up before bed but didnt realise no one had bothered all day!!!!) cooker top splattered in grease for cooking that had been done DS bedroom carpet covered in muck where hed left muddy trainers upthere that had dried and fallen off over the weekend i washed a tissue with eldest DS and DH work and school uniforms so spent this morning rubbing scellotape over clothes before i could iron them as they were covered in tissue fluff. clothes and toys abandoned all over lougne floor and our room looks like a dumping ground it was tidy friday.
oh well theres always this week to start again

so far ahve swept all through downstairs and brushed and hovered the stairs.
ironed school and work uniforms only about an hours worth of ironing left to do.
took a load of clean washing and stuff thats migrated downstairs over the weekend back up but its all on our bed so needs homing in its correct rooms
watered and dusted all plants
put cooker tops (bits the pans sit on) in bath covered with cleaning stuff to soak
made phone call to chase up next weekend school workshop (Again) got to hand deliver balance payment this afternoon so about a 2 mile walk involved there.
will chatch up with the list after work ive written a copy down in my book

hope all are well

Eventually got DS down for a nap so I could get started - he's just learned to roll over, so when he gets put in the cot, he rolls onto his front then gets in to a paddy as he can't sleep that way, and seems to forget how to turn back!

oh got to go hairdressers for advice today did a stuupid thing saturday night my roots need doing but appts not till this wednesday anyway it was DH works do i found some brown wash out mouse in the bathroom and thought id rub some to that in to hide grey roots as a temp measure over the weekend. BIG MISTAKE it went red so on the grey looked pink washed it out but ive still got a pink/red tint on my hair need to ask hairdresser what to do before she does my hair on wednesday as im going to look daft with brown roots and a pinky red dappling over the rest of my hair.
said to dh on saturday be honest if this looks silly tell me and ill wash it again instead of curling it, he was pretty blunt opps you better wash it was the reply. first person i met at the do said oh me and "so and sos wife" were just saying youve done your hair different.havent seen them for about a year so hoping she meant it ahd grown or something not that i looked so daft it was noticable.
