Thinking I might just try and sort a hotspot out as the kids are just running all through the house and it is a waste of time trying to do anything around them. I might try and get something done after they've gone to bed tonight - I'll see how I feel and what time we come back from mum & dads.

Checked bank account so I must turn PC off now or I will get nothing done. Been a lazy swine recently eating junk food and I feel like crap.

List for today,

Living room - hoover and mop floor
Bathroom - S&S
Ironing
Washing
Get to shop for bread and milk


DS2 is in pants today, yesterday he went for a poo all on his own so here's hoping he is now ready for toilet training. Wish us luck!

I'm potty training my DS today too. Good luck! I have had 4 successes and 4 puddles so not too bad. So glad I have a garden! :rotfl:

Still haven't done the dusting but I have folded the dry washing and put another load out.
DD is still asleep - will have to wake her up soon for more Nurofen before going to school to pick up DS.
Someone give me a kick to go and do the dusting.

Yeh, do you want to do mine while your on?:o It's the one thing, along with actually washing the floors that I never seem to get round to:eek: . Hoping reading this thread will motivate me. After I finish work, all I seem to do is tidy, get the kids stuff ready for the next day, eat and sleep. Oh well roll on my summer hols.

• PACK DD's stuff as much as possible
• Change my bed
• Bath DD & myself (not at the same time...bath isn't big enough )
• Fill in replacement CRB Form when it arrives tomorrow hopefully & return ASAP:mad: The one I filled in weeks ago has gotten lost somewhere between the sorting office where I posted it 1st class and its destination :mad::mad:
• Finish library book - possibly to return with DD tomorrow morning as she's finished her ones. :eek:

Right, I'm going to spend 10 mins or so reading then I'll get stuck in. This book is annoyingly a good page turner for me :wave:

Afternoon all :wave:

Not really done anything productive today. Does watching Jeremy Kyle and This Morning count? My best friend is in London for a couple of days and phoned me to tell me one of her friends was going to be on it. It was the make over bit where people ask the experts about stuff. They were just wandering around the South Bank and got jumped on by enthusiastic assistants who dragged them over :rotfl:

I emailed paperwork stuff over to the mortgage company, so hopefully that will go through this week. Got the shock of my life this morning doing my on line banking. The other mortgage advance is through already and sitting in my account :eek: I've never seen so much money in my life!!! Well, it wont be there for long

JAM - sorry to hear your having a tough time at the moment. We all have ugly/fat days, I have one most days actually. You are certainly not a gargoyle! I think we need to nominate you for the Gok treatment. Not Trinny and Susannah, they are too nasty Glad you got the oil sorted out xx

Every day of my life is an ugly/fat day. It's just worse when I have to actually see myself. I always refuse to have my picture taken.

I have seen his programmes (though not recently) and think every woman needs Gok in their lives, but NO WAY on earth would I agree to strip off and have my naked torso plastered all over the place :eek::eek::eek: (I wouldn't even strip off to my undies - my only two bras have long seen better days :rotfl:)

Hi all.

Not really done much today. Mum has had a letter today from the passport people to say they will not give my niece a new passport unless they have a court order or residency form. My niece lives with my mum and dad and has done for nearly 2 years.

Problem is my niece has a little bit of contact with her dad and I assume that they have to ask him if he has any objections. Will need to find him first as he hasn't spoken to he since mid may.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thats the point. Gok helps you to love yourself, instead of wishing you had thinner thighs/bigger/smaller boobs/flatter tummy etc
