  • Evening guys.

    I'm in again, as best as i can manage with the terrible twosome.

    I have been uber-busy this weekend. We had a really rough night with DS2 mainly with his teeth. He has the front top two comig through, and somehow has managed to get mouth ulcers on his tongue, both sides, which then meant he couldn't suck from a bottle, and was even finding it hard to eat from a spoon, so a worrying 24hours until it healed a bit as he was starting to get a bit dehydrated from it.

    We also had DH's great aunt (80yo) and her friend visit on Saturday. That was really nice. They came with pressies for the boys, and we had a lovely meal together. We did salmon and new pots, with green beans. I tried parsley sauce but it has been a while since i did it, and it didn't taste good - very floury so i assume i didn't heat it long enough. Then, we had a chip butty, some wine, and watched a DVD on the evening, and i got some more of my rug kit done for DS1's room.

    Then today, we have done a big sort out of the boys stuff. Net result being DS2 is now in his cot in the nursery :j :j :j .
    • 9-12 month clothes out of loft
    • some 6-9 stuff packed away
    • some 12-18mo stuff packed away
    • play nest found out of loft for DS2
    • toddler chair out of loft, and assembled
    • baby bouncer chair stripped and disassembled, and cover washed
    • bath seat out of loft
    • cot made up
    • DH cleaned mould from all the upstairs window sills for me
    • stuff in nursery and landing decluttered
    • baby present sorted for DH's boss and wife
    • visited my parents
    • returned my sisters moses basket to her
    • travel cot put away
    • DH put away some of his clothes that were clean and lying around
    • i washed DS1's coat and some other bits - stupid boy fell in the used cat litter tray as he was messing in the kitchen.
    • changed DS1's bedding for a single duvet cover - put on the new in the night garden set my sister got him for his birthday
    • made some baby purees - 2 different types of chicken ones, and a pear and parsnip one
    • made a roast chicken dinner
    we spent about 11/2-2 hours doing the sorting, and although it isn't 100%, we are much further on than we were. Next stage is for me to carry on packing away the 6-9 month stuff, have a big blitz on the ironing (going to bring the board downstairs and do on a night.)

    Bother - DS2 awake again so i'd best deal with him. :rolleyes:

    :xmastree: Please can I join in? I desperately need some encouragment (Well someone standing over me with a whip might work)

    DD1 (Ashia) has done really well flying recently (been to her flat today - it's amazing:D )

    Sat here now looking at the bombsite that is my lounge - tomorrow I'm (almost) looking forward to having a go at it.
