Morning all
Hugs good wishes posi vibes sticks and spoons where needed
Dusty everything crossed that the op goes ahead for your mum this time and all is well with it.
Busy all week so will fit flying in where I can, thank you for the lists natty and dusty.

Weekend was a blur of tip runs and clearing out so everything feels better as loads has gone. Still more to do.

Next week half term so the more we can do this week the easier that will be.

Have a good day all.

I got home about half nine last night after 3 hours of Madagascar Escape 2 Africa in children ED with Pixie.. she has fallen 3 times in 4 days on her face!! The second time she hit the wall and bruised her nose and cheek and then last night she slipped on the bathroom floor and bashed her nose on the floor so it looks all crooked and was bleeding and swollen and doubled the size of the bruise.. the difference being she wouldn't stop crying. So I took her to make sure it was ok I thought it was but it is in the middle of her face and I didn't want her to go through life looking like a boxer!! Anyway.. it is too swollen to see very much as I need to head back later in the week (and earlier in the day!) The number of children out with obviously nothing wrong, running all over the place shrieking.. most of them I'd be like 'well it's your own fault!' Pixie was sat on my lap or next to me the entire time... I rarely take mine very rarely.. this is the 3rd time in 6 years... not bad over 11 of them! Shes still in bed sleeping off her night out.

mrs-moneypenny

Aww poor pixie, you did the right thing taking her to be checked. I know what you mean about children's a&e a dr once told me he thinks some parents just go for a change in toys to play with!
Is she going through a growth spurt? Or got an ear infection just wondering if something is affecting her balance if she keeps falling. Mine used to have random clumsy phases. dd2 managed to wak into a lamppost one Christmas she was so busy telling her grandpa what she'd got so was looking at him instead of where she was going. ( lovely photos that Christmas)

Mine walk into lamp posts all the time.. and bins.. my 21 year old walks into everything still.. or crashes the pushchair! Pixie best not be growing she is the same size as Dot almost as it is! Her ears are fine she is just plain clumsy! DS2 has dyspraxia and was very much the same.. hopefully I'm being neurotic and it is just a phase.

everyone ready for school..

Today I am finishing the fling in the backroom.. yesterday I filled a binbag, sent a box of books, a small bookshelf, a dvd player home with DS1 and filled a bag for chazzer, put an unused tv stand in the bin.. I'm not even halfway through the room.

I got my second shelf of frames up so Pixie cannot fall off the box again.

pigpen

Frozen for Pixie.. I'm off to find clothes and make a start on the back room.. I will have order in there!


HHC 9:15-11:15 anyone????


I will be trying to get the tiles into the kitchen once the backroom is sorted.. though.. I might do that first... or at the same time.. drop stuff in bin.. bring tiles back.. yep.. I'll do that..

I best come join you all this week, my house definitely has chaos and for far too long. My organisation skills have gone to pot, hoping this will help!

Thanks for the list

Morning all

Dusty - Hope your mums op goes ahead this week.

Pigpen - I hope it turns out to be nothing and just initial bang. DD is still clumsy when she's tired and managed to walk into a bus stop the other day. But at least she's stopped zoning out for no apparent reason which was even more dangerous.

Personal (week):
Laundry (towels x3, dark, light, fleece, cloths, quilt, blanket, dog)
Ironing
Sort bags
Jigsaws (going to set one up which is being charity shopped but I need to check all the pieces are there first. As its multiple puzzles in one box I need to do them rather than just count the pieces)
Accounts
Mr A delivery
Change my bed
Recanvassing newsletter
Recanvassing books
Dailies: Beds, dishes, laundry load, S&S kitchen, S&S bathroom, dog walk
Sewing repairs: Monkey, doll
HGP jobs
Clean front of the house
Sort dehumidifiers for bathroom and DD bedroom
Shredding
Stuff to charity shop (See photo for opening times)
Nag DD over arrangements going away (she's sorting it with her grandparents who are away atm and will forget)
Plan bake sale stuff (twinks, chocolate cakes, cupcakes) including packaging (used foil trays last time and they never came home despite me asking for them back! so I want stuff I don't mind disappearing.
