Naughty Me! lol

Comment Published at 04:1904:1932 comments32 comments56 Visits56 VisitsReport

After a couple of weeks of doing the bare minimum with the washing, I finally got stuck into it yesterday and almost completely caught up with it all.

4 loads washed and hung out, another 4 brought in, folded and mostly put away.  Nice weather, so I had to take advantage of it.  This meant that the couch was sorely neglected, so was my computer.

Yeah, I was exhausted and felt like going to sleep everytime I came inside, but it had to be done.  With the laundry under the house, it is so nice to be out in the fresh air, just me, and working away at my own pace, which was like a tornado! lol.

Yesterday, I grabbed the stanly knife and got stuck into cutting up some of the boxes under the house that we are trying to get rid of.  Up until getting the knife, I have been ripping them up by hand, which isn't the easiest but good stress relief.  The idea of getting rid of all the junk under there is so that we can have a play area for the girls.

I thought that maybe with all the bending and stretching and climbing up and down the stairs, Puggle might decide to arrive.  Nope, stubborn monkey! lol.  Though, she did have a really good kick and wriggle session when I finally did stop!

Today, we went shopping.  Yeah, brave me with 4 kids and a husband in tow!lol.  Actually, I had a ball as the girls were really well behaved.  I got some new perfumes, pjs and track pants for Les, some DVDs for the girls, $500 worth of clothes for me for only $100!!!!!! and $120 worth of clothes for Acacia, as her winter wardrobe is either too small or too big for her.

Our oldest 3 went on the merry go round ride at the shopping centre, and had a ball!  Gosh, I can't believe what an amazing shopping experience it was!!!!  Could have done without the mistaken identity by the security team though, nearly gave me a heartattack!  Turns out,there was another lady roughly fitting my description who was caught on camera stealing, and because I was closest, grabbed me.  Thankfully, the shop assisstant said not her and pointed to the woman they were after! lol.

We got home and let the girls play under the house while Les, my pack mule, carted all the shopping upstairs.  Tears and tantrums when finally time to go in, but then they got to watch their new DVDs while I went through all the new clothes and tried all mine on.  Very happy me, but need a bigger wardrobe again! lol.

Another load of washing done too, but Ayla needs her uniform for Monday, so was a must.  Missed it yesterday as by the time she got home, I was all finished.  I do her 5 sets at the end of the week so I can keep track of them all.

Now, i'm really , really tired, and should be on the couch relaxing, and I will be shortly.  Maybe 2 busy days in a row will scare Puggle out! lol.

Hhhmmm, maybe that is why he isn't keen on Elizabeth Arden! lol.  Should swap them then and he can have his back! lol.

Nesting phase is on and off, but even when I am super tired, I just can't sit still, so I keep going.

If Puggle has been waiting for Dannii to have Ashton, then she already has good manners! lol.  Young starter!

I remember with my first, we used to walk for miles, and she was still 6 days late!!!!

Re: Naughty Me! lol

Love my new clothes!  So does Les, and he is very impressed that I managed to get some really bright and different colours in my wardrobe.  When we first met, I only wore black and white because I worked in the hospitality industry.

I think the security guards were more embarrassed than me, because they were highly apologetic.  They really need to do a communications and listening course! lol. The lady that called them had given very specific details, including the fact the woman had long hair, mine is still rather short!!! lol.

Tried that, and still no luck! lol.  I was going to have a quiet day today, and just veg on the couch, but I got to fidgety and started attacking the junk under the house again.  Not good, now I have blisters on my hands!!!!! lol.

I'm thrilled for Dannii!  Such a relief for her and me too!  Now, when my time does come, I will be able to concentrate better! lol.

You have been busy, what a great job you have done in catching up on everything... Australia's most wanted huh?!?!  I hope they didn't give you too much of a scare.

Australia's Most Wanted, no way, New Zealand's Most Wanted, which is why I now hide in plain sight in australia! Ok, so I can't make that claim, but Most Wanted what? lol.

Did more catch up work today, though am leaving the laundry alone for a bit.  Going to rain tomorrow and no room to hang any more up, so I can take a justified break.

Re: Naughty Me! lol

Exhausted reading this. Shopping is not my favourite past time. Funny to read 4 girls and hubby in tow as if he is another burden rather then help. LOL Good that he came though, a lot of men would hate to be shopping. So many good bargains you got. I'm trying to steer away from any shop so I can't spend. Funny that, as soon as I smell a shop my purse gets lighter, the reverse diet! Good idea to keep busy though, time seems to go faster then. Puggle will be here before you know it! Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Lynette xx

I don't enjoy shopping usually either, but for some reason, it was the perfect day out.

Nah, Les is great when I do go out.  He follows me around and keeps the girls out of my way.  Secretly, I think he enjoys having that time with them.

Puggle will make her grand entrance soon, I now look like I'm trying to hide a beach ball in my pants she is sitting that low! lol.

Re: Naughty Me! lol

I got my clothes from a boutique called CrossRoads, and I can tell you now, the quality is really good and to pay 1/5 the cost of the rrp was amazing!  I want to go back again! lol.  Now that I have my tops, need some bottoms!

Puggle has been rather quiet today, after a few days of giving me a good headbutting, so could be a sign she is getting ready for the main event! lol.  Still have the night sessions of contraction activity, but it is mainly just low down in my stomach and high up in my back.

Re: Naughty Me! lol

I think it is a case of my body handles stress really well, so not much shocks me these days.  As for the washing, for me, that would be 2 loads only because our machine is huge! lol.  Rinse all the yucky bits off and send them over.

No wonder my eyes are getting worse! lol.  Yeah, lots of new clothes that I don't really need, but just had to have! lol.  Best look for a bigger house now I think.

Poor mick, gets home from hospital, has a few days off and then you are cracking that whip again! lol.  Gosh, game you for letting him near the washing machine! lol.

Will try and have a quieter day tomorrow.  Maybe catch up on some computer work.

You had a busy day but I can imaga ine most days are with your lovely family. I always wanted a big family but was stopped after my third caesarian. When I was 10 my mum had 7 and I was the eldest. We are all very close too. When I was 18 my parents had another surprise.... my youngest sister.This made 6 girls and 2 boys We all love family gatherings sadly my dad died in 1988 and mumin 2005.

I'm finding the bigger the family, the less expensive life really is!lol.  Not going for the dozen though!

It is always great having a close family, wish mine would acknowledge I exist!  They haven't replied to any emails for a while!

3 kids is where we were supposed to stop as well, but my body had other ideas.

Re: Naughty Me! lol

ohh wow,sounds like you had a wonderful day with everyone!!! You would think with all the washing we do we should be paid shouldnt we....Im just about to make my near 18yr old washing his own clothes as he used me as a tax deduction for his washing!!! 300 bucks tax deduction!! I never saw a cent of that.....so he can either pay me that or he can do it himself, LOL....let hope puggle wont be too far away for you now...im keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Re: Naughty Me! lol

i guess he thinks the money he pays me for board is for me to do his washing!!! I dont think so, its for him having a roof over his head!! He has had a run down of the washing machine tonight....he added in  after i showed him that he would pay me from now on, told him nope!! LOL...was a good try tho...i might start that 1 dollar a load with the others! might make them think twice on how many times they change their clothes per day.....

Cazza has to win that one! lol.  She's like that every day, I'm lucky if I have a busy bee day every month! lol.

Yep, fantastic bargains all round! 

Puggle takes after her mother I think, stubborn and headstrong.  The later is proving to be true as she is currently tying to headbutt her way out!!!!
