    (((hugs))) for SSL and RMC.

    Well my mum has contacted the passport office and they have said that they will accept a letter from my niece's father saying that my parents can apply for a passport. As long as he agrees should be ok, as we have to pay balance for holiday soon we need to organise it ASAP.

    Well, DS2 slept in the t shirt he wore yesterday... and as we are toilet training... he is still in that t shirt!!! :eek:

    Toilet training is great, it means I have an excuse to be lazy and stay at home! Can't be bothered taking them out, they were out Sat and Sun and we are back out Sat and Sun again this week, to Blair Drummond and then a picnic with friends (probably staying over at their lovely B&B for free too). I figure I'm only making up for the extra pants that I have to wash... and cloths for accidents ect. He's starting to climb up onto the toilet by himself too, which is great! Pushing you away if you try to help, so I guess this toilet training is going well?

    The kids room has a floor and it's been hoovered!!!!!!! :eek: :j :rotfl: :T

    Still to do,

    Move 2 chest of drawers, a toy storage thing and a wardrobe and clean under them
    Clean window
    Scrub skirting, doors, light switch, grubby marks on walls, radiator
    Fix drawers (missing handles)
    Sort through clothes in drawers and FLING!
    Change beds
    Tighten screws on beds (decide if guard rail along wall can come off DS2's bed)
    Put all the toys etc where they are to be stored (!!!!!! will cuddly toys go?)
    Clean the telly
    Sort out DVD's/games/CD's

    Got the shakes so just had a sandwich and corned beef with brown sauce, yummy and a cold drink or 3... Wonder if there is anyting suprisey before I get back to it.

    Well I still haven't done the ironing - you'd never guess that I hate ironing lol. But I have made a carrot cake with DS. It is his favourite.Just waiting for it to cool before we ice it.
    Next job is to round the kids up and pop out to get some milk.

    I've packed the case so just need to get the holdall down and pack that now. DH can sort the rest of his clothes out first though so I won't bother packing that I'll just put the clothes by the side of it.
