Morning all, DS1 dropped off at football once I found the place.:oHe didn't get to sleep until after 1am because he was so excited, i'm hoping that means he'll go to bed at a good time tonight.

Right I best go make a start on the kitchen, have a few things on my mind at the minute so the distraction is welcomed..:(

GI good luck to your OH.

What on EARTH is happening - posts are editing themselves?

That post above had a reply to Soappie and alsorts in it...

Valli - I think they're working on the forums behind the scenes as a number of us are having problems posting replies with smilies or quotes in.

TY Nicki

anyway the gist of my reply was that I was under the impression A level results are out on Thursday...

I have done the kitchen
DR needs doing -
a - because it's on the list
b- because it's dusty

ironed everything bar the towels and they've gone back out now as the sun's come out again.

Bed changed
Dark load on
Still trying to sort the printer out - I've run it through the cleaning programme about 10 times and now replaced all the cartridges. It's not looking good.
Test baking a small, white loaf in the breadmaker which started playing up a month ago, so I abandoned using it while things were so busy. Hoping it was just a blip, but I fear not.
Still trying to get the dead telephone to work, and have decided to try completely new batteries that I'll need to buy when I go into town later today for a 'thing' I'm really looking forward to.
Also trying to revive the orchid and African violet that look as though they would benefit from some TLC.
Chicken stock bubbling away for bendy veg soup later.
Frog filing is being nibbled at. *Uck*

Not only did I not clean while I was so frantically busy, I now realise I gave up trying to sort out problems. They've all caught up with me. I'm not having the most satisfying of mornings, but at least at some point today I'll know what needs to be given the engineer treatment, and what can be relied on again.

Morning all

Skint Baby Holly had visit from HV last week for her 6 month full term age. She is whopping 19lb now (Daisy mode has definitely paid off) and a leggy 26" - which explains why I have been struggling with her 6-9 month clothes and why I have been getting Orangutan arms carrying her around in her baby car seat carrier.

She is over the length limit on her carrier and almost upto the weight limit too, so DS's spare old chair that I used to have for the Co Car from my previous life has been brought down from loft for a clean up before going in the car this week.

Gave DD1 my permission to snip a bargain bundle of clothes for DD4 last night. Took DD3 with me on round trip to get DS to nursery and pick up bundle at same time.

Been on ebay to look for a respectable dress for DD2 to go to a friends wedding on Sept 7, haven't got time to order a cheapy one from China, so looking for best option here, she is not conscious yet but hopefully she will like the shortlist I have prepared for her.

Really need to get a move on with listy this week as house is getting out of control, although time to go and get DS shortly.

Ho hum, maybe I should print listy off and drag it round with me today.

Catch up later, Happy Monday everyone

Afternoon, I'm in again in my own lurking way.....my own list is for kitchen/diner on a Monday anyway so that's all done. I even did my periodic clean the kitchen floor by hand thing. I mop it regularly but every now and then it needs a really good wash and only getting down there on your hands and knees seems to work. Looks good now for 5 minutes though.

msgnomey

am at the caravan so just pottering keeping the place clean and tidy and the like

weather is changeable but we are relaxing so it's all good

OH had the BD on his shoulder yesterday but seems somewhat better today, being able to get the internet sorted has helped us both

Off to cook lunch and then wash up!!

Dustykitten

IK£A trip done and quite successful it was, I really want to try to get the boys rooms as finished as I can before we head to France.

Washing on the line, just having a cuppa hen plan to try for the bus pass again and if necessary phone them up. Then I'll do my kitchen tasks.
