    Lil_me he does wee in them and poo:eek: lots. He seems to hold it in until bedtime , he goes through about 3 nappies a night. He knows when he needs to go as he's great in the day. He'll poo before he's even asleep when he could easily just ask for the toilet or potty.:confused:

    lil_me..... I havent done 2 boxes, however I have rounded up all the clothes laying around everywhere, sorted them into piles, sorted drawers in kids room and put most of the kids clothes away.
    Atleast now I know where to go to get kids dressed on a morning.

    Going to have another cuppa then start on our clothes, if I can get the basics sorted then the rest SHOULD fall into place lol.

  • Lil_me - I know, I know. (actually, it's just to get back in Pigpen's good books. I called her a sucker the other day re: Peaches, so now she can get her own back! :p) I've had 5 foster puppies before, so I know what I'm letting myself in for, but you know what they say: "If you want something done, ask a busy woman!" We all (maybe the Flymen, too) manage to fit in yet another task when we see the need for it. At least we've got most of the carpet up downstairs, which makes mopping up a lot easier!
