    Morning all

    Not frosty here today but it rained all night and there's a bitter wind out there. One load of washing blowing round but I'm not convinced it will dry.

    Gave the bathroom and toilet a bit of a clean, it's all being ripped out next week so I'm not wasting my time scrubbing it. Dreading it.

    Not much else going on. Hope people start to feel better soon. Big hugs for Spotty dog, poor little thing :(

    Haven't got very far - kids are arguing, fighting, etc - they are both tired I think - I know DD definitely will be.

    Dishes put away
    More dishes washed
    TV stand cleared.

    I've had a few replies from freecycle so now I've got to decide who to offer it to - I hate this bit.

    I'll join you again at 11 toochoosey.

    Hmmm I've just been out for an hour and a half and went round 5 charity shops and found just 1 double flannelette sheet!

    Will join in in a bit but my back has started aching lots so I need to find the ibuprofen first!

    Could you get a playpen/travel cot to put baby in for two mins while you go to the TD?

    It's just a thought, cos there are always going to be those moments when you need to leave the room...... going to the loo??? :):):)

    I remember it well, not knowing what the hell to do with the baby while I did whatever it was!! :rolleyes:

    Just a suggestion... HTH
    SS
    xx
    he's sleeping in the travelcot at the minute in our room and i can't be faffed moving it each time. i think we might need to use it as a playpen this time though as ds1 doesn't a) leave him any space for rolling/playing, and b) give him a minute's peace :rolleyes:

    at the moment both of them go with me everywhere i go. i was sometimes leaving charlie for a couple of minutes but i caught him trying to climb up the bookshelves, and he also feels left out when i take sam but not him.

    joys of motherhood eh?

    just remembered i have an inflatable play nest which must be in the loft - will get dh to get that out this weekend.
