Loving your pumpkins.

we wimped out this year and went to my parents house to avoid the trick or treaters. we had to take the travel cot as charlie is supposed to be stopping at their house tomorrow evening while we go to a black tie posh dinner.

hopefully we are all better now. I have just managed to eat a chip butty, which is the most i have eaten since monday.

tomorrow's plan:
was to take charlie to the playgroup party, then nursery for a few hours while i glammed up and also tried to sort some xmas stuff, then drop him off with sister for babysitting duties.

now looks like i will be in work all day as i have not managed to get in yet this week so have loads to do to catch up. best also bring loads home to do over the weekend while DH watches charlie.


guess now i will go and watch heroes, and then a 3rd early night (done 9pm for the last 2 evenings) in the hope the remainder of the lurgy gets shifted. then see what i can do tomorrow.

at least i managed to get DH to clean the remainder of the loo today. i noticed loads of missed bits when i had a bath today. best stick some bleach down it overnight too.

Michelle, x

Morning Denise

I have managed to upload photo of pumpkin to my facebook profile but can't put it on here, not sure how I got it on facebook actually. Right I need to clear a path through the kitchen and go to bed. Tomorrow I will fly all day long - I promise

Wow pigpen - I'm very impressed by that pumpkin! Shame it was conceived (no pun intended) whilst your OH should have been supervising tiddles though!

Just checking in as I'm an eager beaver, and wanted to see if tomorrow's list was up yet, as I'm going to be out tomorrow (registering at the supply agency) and thought I may be able to get a little bit done before I head for bed.

Have managed to find the directions for tomorrow, and also instant messaged my neighbour upstairs, and am possibly having a girly night in with her on Friday as she needs to practice applying makeup on people (she sells forever living products and had her makeup training today), so I'm looking forward to that as I don't get out anymore.

Hi to Denise and well done with your lists. It must be harder for you to stay motivated as we are all in a different timezone, so you don't get to talk to us all throughout the day like we all do. Still, it's comforting to think that we are all doing the same things on the other side of the globe to one another.

I expect that by the time I've finished chatting, there will be a whole load of posts on here to catch up with, and pigpen will have posted tomorrow's list, so I'd best stop typing, and have a look.

Night night everyone, and sleep well. Hope anyone who is feeling poorly or down feels better soon, and sweet dreams to you all.
