Welcome LilacPixie Happy to have you aboard.
Please go gently on yourself. A new baby is a lot to deal with. Housework will always be there, your opportunity to sleep will not!!!!!

well in the hhp i managed to get dd2 clothes / towels / bedding packed & sorted out our toiletries to take. just going to put the 3rd load on the line (dd1 bedding) then will feed dd2 & pop to tesco.

pollybear sorry to hear about your uncle
lilacpixie when dd2 was 4wks old it was as much as i could do to get us both dressed & fed each day, housework is definately low priority when they are tiny. she is 5mnths old now & i've only just started to get the house back to normal!!

I've been flying today but not at my house - my dear old ma had an operation a couple of weeks ago and had some complications. She's fine now but still tired after being under anasthetic(?) for 3+ hours. Is that normal? I suppose at 74 its just going to take time?

So had to scrub mum's kitchen floor and it's around 20 feet long! My DB lives with her but he's a bloke and doesn't see dirt. Are they all the same?

Jackie

it won't be due to the anasthetic but will be due to the fact she is healing, possibly battling germs and infection and trying to boost her Hb levels as well. Make sure she is eating properly and resting enough and prod your brother with a sharp stick.. give him a list of things to do she doesn't just have one child so he can pull his weigth as well.. and no, men see nothing!!

That's me gone out for the day..... Byyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee xxxxxx

Hi

Hugs to Pollybear I'm so sorry for your loss.

Welcome back JillD glad you had a good time.

Welcome to the newbies.

Ds1 is driving me mad. I asked him to tidy his room, it's a bit of a state but i reckon i could do it in about an hour. He's been up there since 8 am and has only tidied a small section. He's been up and down the stairs all morning for the toilet or a drink or to take something down. I've given him till 12 or no movie night tonight and theres no way he'll get it done in that time now. This means my last night with him is ruined. I can't go back on my word because then he'll never learn. i don't see why he can't just tady the blasted thing it's not that hard.:mad:
