    Evening

    Poohbear big hugs to you hun, rest up and relax

    Swimming went well. Tea didn't 4:30 was too early for us all to eat. They get the whole pool rather than half and there are less kids so DS enjoyed it much more. Less traffic coming home to. Next week I am going to try soup and bread or crackers and cheese. Two have school lunches and the big one will be fine.

    I have decided that tomorrow after my morning walk I am carrying on with the boxes I will have until school pick up time so should be able to do it and then they will be done once and for all. All other flying on hold until after they are done as house got a good cleaning last week.

    Em hope he is dishy. You never know where prince charming is hiding, according to DS3 and his friend (girl) yesterday it is the guy who served us at the library as he looks and sounds just like the one in cinderella we saw last week.

    He's just text to say he's getting on a plane. It's only a short flight so he'll actually get here earlier than he would have done if he'd got the original flight. DS will be so pleased as i've prepared him that daddy might not be here first thing but he'll be here later in the day. Saying that, i'm never happy, it's blowing a gale here so I hope the plane takes off and is safe! I'm glued to teletext flight arrivals lol! Thanks for everyone's positive thoughts.

    Michelle - I always leave repairs to OH too. It's only coz he's away that I thought i'd ring the helpline. The poor lady on the other end must have thought I was demented when I managed to do what she said. I was ectatic! Lol.

    Think i'm allergic to housework as i'm covered in an itchy rash xx

    Glad your OH got a flight LJD, it'll be a nice surprise for your DS!

    It's blowing a hooly here too. All the way home up the M1 earlier there were messages on whatever those light up boards are called saying severe weather warning 8-9th and I wondered what it must be. Both moggies are tucked up in their beds and I'll be saying a prayer to the god of roof tiles later. I hope my aerial disappears though, I could do with an upgrade that lets me get BBC even when it's windy or raining.
    Juliejim, you could get a second hand Dyson; I can recommend a couple of lovely ladies who'll recondition it no bother :D

    Well I survived my first day back as a working person, didn't come across any kids who I would have liked to have strangled so there may be hope yet.

    Everyone here seems to have been very busy today I sat down for half an hour an hour ago to have a quick catch up and update but have been here for ages!!

    Poobear take care and make sure you rest and keep taking the painkillers.
    embb at the moment you have nothing to loose with a bit of internet flirting so why not have a bit of fun
    dyson fixers well down will know where to come the next time mine breaks down.
    LJD hope your hubby makes it home in time, we seem to have the gales and rain here, so hopefully it has moved on from where you are.

    I can't find my list from last night, but will type up a have done list (only home at 4.30 so fairly pleased with what I have managed)

    Ouch! Its official, exercise is bad for you! I'm now suffering from whiplash:eek: Going to take some painkillers and go for a hot bath on recommendation of team physio. Will check back in later.

    Did you call - I can do online repairs...that's how good we are! Think Soappie is out stealing buying second hand dysons to start our new business. Huges discounts for cash upfront! :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Jjef - glad your first day wasn't too bad. I'm working all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday so they'll be very little flying from me then. Make sure you put your feet up tonight xx

  • Have done nothing today :(
    Had a lovely day though as was Ds's birthday. Must definitely do better tomorrow.
    If I tackle my mountain of ironing will I partially redeem myself do you think?
    Baby was awake most of the night running a temp and needed to feed 5-6 times, which is pretty exhausting.
    Oh well, maybe tonight will be better.
    See you all tomorrow!

    The Dyson Duo have cursed me!

    Living room smells funkey why? Think the hoover is now broken... it works... but has a burning smell coming from it and a very strange noise...

    My own fault, lazyarsitis makes me hoover lamenite....

    I've got the cheek to be yawning when I've done very little today so I'm off to my lovely bed. I most likely won't get on tomorrow night (where are we flying tomorrow? I haven't seen Lil_me on here this evening) so I'm hoping it's somewhere that's fairly tidy. Back on Thursday.

    Enjoy your days and your achievements.

    Hi all

    Only day two for me of flying, but I feel less harassed and (dare I say) more organised than usual. No teeth gnashing or panic because tomorrow's wednesday.
