    cookie34, if you don't get any helpful advice from the HV and need an ear drop me a pm and I will send you my email address. Amongst the issues my sons have is violence, I am no expert but if you want to chat via email let me know, ((have a big hug)) and I hope the HV is helpful tomorrow.
    pigpen he's only doing what comes naturally :rotfl: aww poor lil nonads!
    serena thanks :rotfl: @ asking your OH about the iron. I had to wash my ironing board cover because it was dusty :rotfl:
    Scared1980 when the girls get bored of one maybe try www.chartjungle.com for more, there is somewhere on there an 'apples on the tree' one that they colour in apples as a reward which is lovely.
    soappie, I don't think there was anything bad from the bloods because they haddn't phoned, I didn't ask today and the phone appointment was for DS1 really so he wouldn't have had my notes. I am still VERY tired and once the boys are back to school think I will pop to see my specific GP (rather than the boys who I spoke to today) she's just as nice, I think it might be some cold or something as DS1 and I both have sore throats. Thank you for asking, it's strange but it makes you feel better when someone cares x
    tinsel is that her? Awwwwwww!!! She's beautiful, what an amazing smile!!! Hope DS is feeling better soon.
    Dusty, what a lot of problems in one! Hope the treatments help your DS. Bother you just reminded me there is washing still out..!
    annelouise you having to tidy up from after the pool makes me insanely jealous, my sons are water babies, if I could afford to I'd move abroad just so they could be in the water as much as they like!

    honey, if you're feeling fed up and need some time out say, a problem shared and all that. We all understand not everyone has the time to post every day.
    Michelle, 8 weeks, already, flies over doesn't it! Good luck with the dentists x

    Well a not very productive evening but hoping (must double check calendar before bed) tomorrow is clear for studying, then just normal housework/dailies to keep on top of things. Get as much studying as I can done. Need to help DP with the club on the evening. Just hoping DS1s ok for school tomorrow as he was screaming again this evening.

    Tired obut in the middle of watching 'Hannibal Rising' I'm not into icky films or books but the Hannibal books and films I have liked because of the psychology side of it, which tends to happen with me and films, then of course I close my eyes for the icky bits :o Probably a bad thing watching it before bed........
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well, the DS's were up at 3:00 for no reason in particular and I've not been able to get back to sleep :mad: so I'm making an early start. Should get most of this out of the way by breakfast time.I'll have to try and grab some sleep when DS2 has his nap.

    Not a good start to the day.

    Morning all

    Slept very well. Today is going to be really hot apparantly so it's the flowing skirt again methinks. I have a washing machine full to go out on the line which I'll do in a minute, after my bath.

    Then tonight I'll do the bathroom and study area.

    Have a nice day ladies.

    Is it morning again!

    Hi soappie and mabboo (dont envy you getting up at 3 :eek: )

    DS has just gone to work with moans and groans about wheres his jacket and jeans he put in the wash on Thursday. As there is only 1 load left which is all towels how the he11 am I supposed to know, probably left both of them in Grandads van!

    Breakfasted in front of the computer already with doogie on my lap awaiting frosties but she's not having them after last nights mess. Never had a dog until her so is it normal for them to chuck up much :confused: , dont really want a vet bill to then find its quite normal.

    Gonna sink my cuppa then go and find something to wear for work if its going to be hot. Rarely get a skirt out and if I do then it means st tropezing my legs before I go, cant decide.

    right shower and sort as its normal get up time now and I have to be ready at 7.20, 45 mins and counting .............

    Morning All :wave:

    Things not going as smoothly as I hoped. I'm too sulky from lack of sleep to motivate myself properly. I've managed all but the vacuuming in the "study", as it's a corner of the dining room I cleared a lot of it yesterday.

    Apart from that; breakfast, S&S in the kitchen, filled DW and put it on (wasn't enough in there last night to warrant putting it on) and DS1 ready for PreSchool (thanks to the OH). Will leave the rest until DS1 is out.

    Morning everyone,
    I didn't get around to doing a last update yesterday. We went into town and it took ages and then by the time we got home it was time to start dinner and stuff.
    I'm doing the lounge today, like I normally do. I like to keep the same rooms on the same day, what a creature of habit!!
    I've got a friend coming for coffee this afternoon and DH is maybe taking DD1 & 2 out today, so I will 'fly' this morning and hopefully get everything done.
    Righto, gonna put the kettle on for a cuppa....have a great day everyone!
