Evening all,
I do hope everyones survived the day and that it has gone well. Its been a productive day this end both work wise and flying. My full list which i started today has rapidly shrunk, which just shows to the newbies that if you stick at it it takes less and less time each time and keeping on top of it by following the list, it means you get your life back (t does also help not having children :pPIGPEN )

Evening,

My stress levels fell when the rain started and it got a bit cooler. Both boys were asleep for 7:45, i came down bringing towels and nappies from the bathroom, let in Fat cat that was outside in the rain, spent some time grooming the clumps out of his fur, made myself cheese on toast, ate it, made up a cat litter tray as i have both cats in and i will not be letting them out, particularly ginger as we don't have time to search for him tomorrow.

I think i will wash up, then go and finish ironing/packing, then go and grab myself a bath - i sure need one today.

soappie glad you got some time to yourself this evening.

rach enjoy your night with DH

Thanks everyone for trying to keep me calm and your suggestions - the only thing i am worried about forgetting is DS1's comfortor 'Humphrey'. He only has him in bed, but when we went to Norfolk that was the only thing we forgot, and he kept asking for it when we got there and it was a real PITA to get him to sleep.

Right, best get on or i will never get to bed. Will probably pop in again later when i have finished for the night.

Come on then Pigpen. Hit me with it - tomorrow's list that is.:D

lil_me

Popping in in the middle of laundry, bathing children and packing again to go away again tomorrow for another week, I'm shattered. One heck of a week, everything that could go wrong did, from the pool on site being broken, raining lots inc when we'd just got to the beach, toilet leaking into the caravan to oil ending up all over inside the caravan, :rotfl: could only happen to US! Oh well we got through it with a smile.

Anyway, hope you're all well and getting better weather than us, I will try to catch up later but doubtful as it's a bit manic here......ttfn

I've got a sulk on tonight and am not doing anything .

Pigpen said she had a bag of dog biscuits and I didnt get one even tho I did so much last night, I was really really good, and I tried to keep up with the thread at work but now I cant remember anything cos I didnt write anything down and DD has been in a strop and called me an evil old hag and I had a migraine starting and I managed to take the pain killers at the first signs of the symptoms and it worked cos they stopped and now I dont have a headache and I have to update the finances and I'm trying to do a lush order online even tho I have waaay too much stuff and the computer keeps logging off and sky's gone off due to storm and I have to find something to wear to go out tomorrow night, and i dont have anything as my floordrobe is trolley bags on the floor in my bedroom and I usually only go out once a year so I dont have any nice clothes and my ex is supposed to be going so dont want to look like a bag lady and I'm scared as its hobble out there _pale_

and Lilme all the boys will remember is a fantastic time
