TAG

Morning everyone,

not much flyimg being done here at the moment. Only a few of my normal dailes and Level Ones really off the list. But the house doesn't look .like a bomb site thank god.

I am off to work again this morning. 3 days on the trot and I'm aleady knackered especially with everything else going on.

hex - your email did come through. I left instructions with hubby to keep an eye and left the email tab open but him being him missed it. Anyway he didn't go ahead with it and asked for a delay based on the No2 and who was conducting it.
Will email you later, when I have more time. Thank you for all your help so far.

Right - I am determined that Mr Tag will do something more than flick the hoover over the living room today. So I'm off to quickly find and print a list and then off to work.

Catch up with you all later. Don't chat too much. I'm only on page 25.

Morning Tag, hope all goes well for Mr Tag for you... have a good day at work...

Hi Denise, glad to see you're not down now - and well done on the baby steps for spring cleaning - great idea... Oooh, Spring, if only...:p

Just went on Google for something and it went all funny - closed my internet down and everything... I think I saw a sorry sign, but the page kept switching on and then going blank, etc... weird... be careful if you're posting, it might chuck you off if you go on it...

Morning

I'm not a morning person either toots DH has a Garfield mirror that says 'I am allergic to mornings' on it He stuck a Quo sticker on it as well, got it up in the kitchen. It makes me smile when I look at it because it describes me far better than it does him! When he was on an early shift he would be up and running before the alarm had barely started ringing, me I need about 56 snoozes to get going :rotfl:

Morning ladies.

I am a bit perkier than usual this morning as Sam slept through. I think i am going to have to accept that DH is a noisy sleeper and disturbs him, and i should get a wriggle on and sort out thhe nursery now for him to sleep in. I took a step towards it by washing the cot buddies bumper yesterday, so i will maybe write an itemised list a la toots and deniseNZ to see where i need to go - current problem is life is a bit too manic every weekend for me to get on, and DH gets in too late for me to get anywhere on a weekday as it is kiddies bedtime then i am pooped.

It's my 3rd wedding anniversary today. DH left me a card, and it says pretty much what mine did, a little joke about being romantic and managing to not fall asleep on the sofa. Does that mean we are approaching middle age i wonder? DH is away, so i think i will be visiting my sister and taking the boys. I might even accept dinner there, they usually offer but i am coming home to cook for DH.

DeniseNZ looks like you are getting somewhere on your room list. You should be proud.

pigpen hope today is not as bad as you are expecting. I think the number of things bothering you is more than most, but that is what comes from having a larger family isn't it. Also, more people to share the burden with. I am absolutely sure you only get what you can cope with, and hope you feel less stressed today.

i won't post any more cake piccies today - too distracting and makes me want to eat cake. :rolleyes:

toots nice to see you up at this time. Wasn't that part of your MACAW? If you combine it with an early night tonight, see it as a positive, you may now get a great routine in place.

Right, off to deal with my boys. DS1 will probably wake soon, I'm surprised not already, although then again, it is probably DH who wakes him too.

Michelle, x
