Morning ladies,
The clutter fairy has been again and turned my place into a hovel. How does it happen so quickly? Seriously? My place can be spotless and gleaming one minute, and then suddenly it looks like a bombs gone offThink one of the problems is its so small, so any mess looks terrible:o Need a serious declutter methinks, and maybe some more storage....

In a bit of a rush this morning, so chucking in a list so i know where to start when i get back. DS2 is being jabbed at 9am, so please send soothing vibes and hope i am not in for a poorly baby. I am hoping he is like ds1 who wasn't bothered in the slightest other than for about a minute.
bags packed, i just have to get dressed and then go.

DS1 is trying to wangle a day off school this morning. He says his wobbly tooth keeps bleeding. They have only got two weeks left so he's no chance!Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j0 -
Michelle ***lots of soothing vibes for your DS***
Hope it goes alright.
G&B-I tend to find it is the small things that cause the mess i.e. DS and DD oh and a not so small DH at the weekend
Mabboo ***sleeping vibes for DS * so you can catch a little sleep later. Hope you can get things sorted re child-minding. Why do these sort of things always happen on one day

Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
kazmeister, PrettyPennies,mumofjusttwo - Thanks for the vibes. They both fell a sleep in front of the TV just after my last post. A very grumpy and sleepy DS1 just left for PreSchool with the OH and the Childminder. She's dropping OH and DS1 at school and taking DS2 out while we catch up with ourselves. We're lucky to have her, really. Her daughter never blessed her with Grandchildren and she's kind of surrogated the boys.
Time to get to it now, though. Tesco due in next 3hrs so I've got time to get something done before then.o-* I will be Debt Free by Jan 2010 *-o

kaz I have one dog who is sickly, vet said 'probably because he'll eat just about anything' if it goes on for a long time and they aren't themselves I usually call the vet first to see if it's worth taking them in, usually isn't (our vets honest thankfully)
Mabboo don't envy you, similar night here but I didn't get to sleep until after 4am then back up at 7am, wondering if it's the worm thing that stopped DS1 sleeping. Nice of the lady to offer to have your DS2 for you, she sounds lovely.
Frankie, another creature of habit, I think it's more because I don't like switching the bedrooms or leaving any area more than a week before doing it.
Michelle hope all went ok with Sam's jabs
Well today studying takes priority, I need to get one assignment started at least, 2 weeks and one day to get both done, I can't see that happening but I will try my best as usual.
Big hugs for everyone, hope you all have a good day xOne day I might be more organised...........
