I want my lower limbs to drop off... I am in PAIN!!!!!!!! I cannot cope standing on my footsies for 9 hours.. it has almost killed me! I have walked about 7 miles today just in school runs!! Not to mention the shopping trip, and the 'around the house' walking.

Wonder if a couple of ibuprofen would help?!

Pigpen - And what the heck did those 3 people do to you?!? :eek:

One lied to me and made me upset.. one lied horrifically about me and the other accused me of lying.. if I have lied I am usually pretty forthcoming that I lied.. I am too unintimidated to lie to cover a lie..

I need to get loads done tonight - DH is away until tomorrwo so I've got no excuse apart from the fact that I'm shattered - but then again what's new!

So really I need to catch up with all the lists because i don't think I've done anything on them apart from HHIs!

Anyone up for a HHC?

Your old paint pots might be of use at the local school. I knew a metalwork/woodwork teacher who was always on the look out for tins of paint for use in lessons. Might be worth asking.

A nice idea AnW - but sadly I fear they would not be interested in THESE paint pots. They are about 5 years old and very, very solidified :rotfl:

Just done the brownie run. DD wanted to walk (it's only about ten minutes). I pointed out it might pour down but after letting them both play Tennis in the pouring rain yesterday they wanted to get soaked again. Had to laugh as the sky was black and they were praying for the heavens to open. Got dd to brownies....no rain. Got ds home....no rain. And now it's pouring down. Hee hee, I didn't get wet!

My legs are aching so i'm going to put the last few things on tomorrow's list as I've had enough today. So;

Tomorrow's list so far:

1. Vacuum all downstairs
2. Sparkle clinic
3. Pay race for life money

I'll add it to tomorrow's list when it's up xx

Right, thread caught up with.

Had a reasonable day at work even though I had a two hour meeting this afternoon. But, I got what was needed out of it in the end so it was worth the time. also, the chap I've been chauffering in and out for the last 10 days or so hasn't broken his wrist - just chipped the bone so, as he's not in plaster, he's going to try and drive himself in tomorrow which is lovely. I don't mind giving him the lift, I just mind that I'm tied down to a specific time rather than 10 minutes either way. It means if I want to lie in for an extra 5 minutes, I can.

Not much flying done this evening. It's absolutely cracking weather wise - the clouds have gone and there's no sign of the thundery showers they were threatening us with. So, I went out into the garden and sat when I got in. DD then popped by and needed help with a costume she's making for a party at the weekend. Now DiL's come home and needs some help filling out an application form for a new job. So, by the time we've gone through that and I've done dinner the evening will be gone.

Have a good one ladies

How are you all getting so much money out of quidco, cant do energy provider swap here in N Ireland and one company has the monopoly on electric and since I live in the back of beyond we dont get gas. If it is house ins - can you change mid year?

I have only managed to get £20 (credit card that I promptly cut up) and a few bits from online shopping

Aw your boys are lovely Michelle, that one of the two of them is so cute. I know what you mean about feeding them in bed though, I fall asleep and wake up an hour later to find she's still feeding :rotfl: . I'm just doing it just now because I have to get the other 2 to school in the morning, so it's anything for a bit of extra sleep, but once the summer hols are here, I'm going to really try and get the night time feeding cut out as she's only doing it for comfort. :eek: Ah that means I've only got 2 semi-decent sleeps left:eek: I've written it now, so I have to do it :rotfl:

I've just added some latest piccies of the kids on facebook. I can't remember who asked a coupe of weeks ago if i had any, but seems though dh put them on the computer i thought i would do the important things today.









cookie no tips for getting babies to sleep through. It could have helped that he had his jabs yesterday, but also, i let him breastfeed for as much as he wants in the evening, we put him on the settee to sleep till we go to bed, and then he usually wakes as we go up, and i feed him more and hope for the best. Also, i have decided to ignore all advice and let him sleep on his stomach as it is the only way he is comfy unless he is in with us, and i think personally the bigger cot death danger is how hot it is in with us, particularly when he wants to snuggle so close. I thought with ds1 it was because i gave him a bottle of formula on an evening, but i think it has more to do with how much they weigh - my 2 boys are both porkers for there age. Also, i am not going to feed him lying down in bed anymore as i just fall back asleep and he messes and feeds for hours with me waking up every few minutes and him fussing - last night 20 minutes maximum of feeding him, and then he was back in the travel cot.
