Hiya
Right, it's time for me to get back into this. Feeling better but DH and DS are both now feeling yuk. Luckily DH doesn't get man flu so is soldiering in. DS is feeling rotten so just going to let him read and watch television all day.

I'm going to do the kitchen, put on a washing load, hand two lots of washing up, fold the towels, sort the underwear and have a general blitz.

Hugs to Michelle, you'll look fab on the day!
Hugs to Susie, hope you get some shoes to fit and your ankle is better soon.

Right, i'm off until all my jobs are done xx

Wish I had a look at this yesterday! My lovely boyfriend took me away for the weekend cos we have been going through a bit of a bad patch so when came home yesterday we just lazed around all day. The kitchen is stacked with dishes, theres a ton of washing and haven't even unpacked the weekend bag!
Its a good job I work flexi time, I will finish at 4pm and make a start on the flat before he gets home. I am making veg chilli so that can be cooking away while I blitz the kitchen. I think there is a lot of stuff in the fridge that needs thrown out. Cupboards are ok, we chucked all the old plastic tubs last week and replaced them with new. Got a busy night ahead!

Hi All

Michelle my DS is 3 and I'm still not the same weight I was before I had him so you should be pleased with yourself!:o

Pigpen I'm sure your hubby will turn up somewhere (probably a bit worse for wear) you can never escape that easily!:beer:

Well so far today I've done nothing. DS has gone to the childminders and I went back to bed as I got in from work at 5am then DS got up @ 5.30am! I've taken DD to school, DS to childminder, had a bath and been back to bed!
DS has just arrived home as I've been posting so it's nearly time to go fetch DD from school.

I want to clean my bathroom today as I missed it last week and it's looking really bright now DH has put the new cushionfloor down. So I can really tell it needs cleaning:(

The kitchen isn't too bad so if I don't get round to it today I'll leave it until the bathroom comes round later in the week.

I also must get some work done on my assignment this week. I've got a tutorial on Friday to go through what I've done so far and I haven't even started it!

Hope everyone's okay.

I emailed hubby.. I can't get hold of him on the phone so I'll just email him.. he can pick his mail up anywhere as he has his lappy with him.. of all the things to take lol..

I asked if I am doing his tea .. was that an appropriate question?

I've changed my passwords on just about everything so he can't just log in to my accounts.

It seems a pretty good question to me - if you can be bothered to do it anyway!

I'm back from school and the kids want to make gingerbread:rolleyes: looks like I'll be doing the kitchen after all.

Catch you all later

hi all well i have done absolutely nothing today bar emptying dw :eek: and the house is a tip, but spent some time with my mum as they had horrible incident over the weekend with a crazed nutter bashing their door in looking for someone who did not live their (only a caution!!) and then took dds to beach for hour or so for a good run around

i was feeling very yuck this morning - am trying to decide if my postnatal depression is making a reappearance so a run around on beach was just what i needed

i can't believe how busy you have all been and pigpen you have even been losing husbands!

well i am off to set timer in kitchen and thank goodness for bulk cooking and freezers - will find something in there hm to eat thats for sure :T

Michelle your baby is so tiny when you look back you will not worry at all about that dress but sometimes its those things that can really tip you over into tears - bet you look great just a different shape :A
