shell well done on trying to learn to drive. It is a fabulous freedom that you don''t appreciate once you have had it a bit. On my 1st lesson we drove round our village at 20 taking only left turns, so it sounds like it went very well.

dustykitten hugs to you. Your DS will have a fab time, so you try to relax and have some me-time, and then you will be fit enough to have a good weekend catching up when he gets back.


I'm just enjoying a vodka and diet coke. Bottle now empty, so no more booze for a bit (except my planned night out with the girls to a grease tribute night on friday). My reward for an hours ironing.

Also:

• washing up done
• bathroom and kitchen bins emptied
• DS's fisher price chair assembled
• Cats fed
• all airers emptied
• WM loaded with the set of spare bedding for 1st thing tomorrow
• nappy bag mostly repacked for play group tomorrow (Wednesday again already :eek: )
• bottles made
• bag of clothes sorted for charity shop (mostly my stuff that is too small - finally accepting that it is stuff from 10years ago that even if i lost weight wouldn't look that good - just need to be brave and put some extra things in there - actually should pull suitcase out from under the bed as it is all the stuff i put away when 1st pregnant and haven't even seen for at least 18 months.)
• organised sister's friend to trim my hair tomorrow.

So all in all, a productive evening. Thankfully TV scheduling is pants all week, although i will be watching Saint Anthea tomorrow, but i will also be making sure i have clean clothes for Friday night. Jeans and a spangly top i think, plus silver bridesmaids high heels.

Anyway, nighty night. Catch you all in the morning.

Michelle, x

O yeah and i cleaned the lounge Had to do the hoovering twice as i couldnt resist cutting ds's hair when he fell asleep on the sofa :rolleyes: (im a mean mummy!) Just have to hope he falls asleep on the other side tomorrow :rotfl:

My mother used to do that to me... not nice. She can't even cut a loaf of bread without having to bin half of it... Tell your DS he can always come and hide here: I understand!

Im sorry. But i was having to be slightly as it is graduation, as a Dr of philosophy and im meant to be slightly responsible for the day anyway!!

Wow! Well done Dr Aimeelister! Love the shoes - but very bad idea posting the link to the actual shopping site - I never knew it was there before... Now I have that AND Whittards!

Hev - thanks, honey: found it, bought it and some moroccan mint, and some assam and............. but hey - how many cups of tea against 4 bottles of wine? Thanks for the inspiration: about time I treated myself.

Arrrgghhh!!!!!!!! .. no early night then!!

I still need a shower.. stuff that.. do that in the morning.

Shirts all ironed though..
Cuppa, uniforms, bed.. methinks!!!

rach

i've done no flying today. mad day at work, 2 assemblies, 2 meetings, a pastoral visit to someone who is dying, a visit to a family, and a youth group social (and the food shopping for that). also managed a walk with mate late tonight.

had some bad news about our wedding reception hotel, feel really bad as haven't told OH. msn wasn't the right way and 11.30pm on the phone just seemed like a bad time to bring it all up. i will have to tell him tomorrow. i sometimes pretend things aren't happening so i don't have to deal with them.

plan is to do tuesday's list and wednesdays today, as i only change my bed every other week.

michelle - you've inspired me as, though i've gone through my wardrobe and sorted a lot out, i hung onto some tiny clothes that will probably never fit again. i'll charity shop them if you will!

am pooped, but just watching holby city to chill out a bit. don't have to get up until about 9.30 tomorrow so that is not too bad.

Morning

I am so excited I have just done a survey and am going to be sent some washing liquid to try out for 3 weeks!!! How sad am I?!?!?! :rotfl:

Well I failed in totally eliminating iron mountain, in fact I added to it last night BUT I do believe at this moment in time that there is not enough to make up a full load of washing so today should be mountain free wooohoooooooo

Morning :j

Feeling quite energetic today, and Charlie is in a good mood, and playing with his old mcdonald farm vehicle, so there is a strange moo-ing sound, but at least it helps me work out where he is so i can concentrate on typing. :rotfl:

I'm going to be out most of today, so i am not quite sure why i am posting a list today, but i will be trying to do a couple of bits.

rach go on - be really ruthless. I'm thinking that if i lose that much weight i will treat myself to some nice new things. Only from primark. I am going to move on today to stuff i know doesn't really suit me. I am fed up of living in clutter, and if i am not going to wear it, it is going.

Anyway, list, and then nappy change and get dressed, as i can't bear to smell it much longer.

Aimeelister congratulations you genius! Ph D in what?? Shoes maybe? There's material for several Phds in this thread I reckon.

Now that i would have liked to have done a PhD on. Imagine it. You would have a perfect excuse to have as many shoes as you wanted. In fact you would have to have them all!!! Mine was a bit more boring. I designed and tested silencers for guns, James Bond style. Was good fun testing them, and yes it is true what you see on the movies given certain parameters!

HATWMB - sorry about that. I do love looking for shoes there!!!

Hope everyone is refreshed and has a good day. Im hoping to go home at lunch and do some in my bedrooms to save the amount i have to do when i get home this evening.

See you all later
