Morning.

I'm still not myself today. I was in bed for 10 last night. i had a bit of a restless night. I remember waking and thinking DS1 was stood at the side of me. DS2 did well and slept 7pm to 6:20am, so it wasn't even him. I don't know what is going on with me, but i am not altogether here. Oh well, nothing abnormal then really.


Anyway, we have sat on the floor playing bricks (did i mention DS2 is sitting up by himself now - so proud of him as DS1 was months older, but then again he won't roll about so i suppose he has to :rolleyes: )

I have managed to get the WM on with some clothes my sister gave me yesterday, i have got the boys fed, washed and dressed, and hung up some wet bibs. I haven't let the house get any messier either, so i must be doing something right.

chunky hope all goes well today for you

poffigirl i am impressed with your shopping. My boys are pretty much the same ages as your 2, and it is a lot of effort doing anything with the double buggy in tow, so don't get disheartened. We are not sat in a perfect house here - more like a death trap most of the time (for me) as there are so many toys out, but the kids are happy, so who cares really?

Michelle, x

Oh, and how are you? :rotfl:(didn't forget you really!). Is the op anything to do with your wrist fiasco earlier in the year?

Hiya Justamum - my wrist is brilliant now. The op is a hysterectomy. It's funny, I can type the word now without feeling sick!!

Puppy dog is doing well, she's stopped crying, is eating well and is trying to play - mmmmm, not a good idea!!

Well done on the weight loss mudbath :T!! Unfortunately I seem to have gained a similar amount recently :eek:. Need to get motivated. Off to tackle upstairs....

onlineid -

prepare body ready to wear swimsuit :eek:

- made me giggle!

mudbath - keep cuddling that spotty puppy! I hope you feel better soon.

vivw - hope you feel better soon. I missed your email about your trip to Canterbury until after you'd left, or I'd have tried to pop into the pub to say hi! Hope the concert was good.

I have been very good this morning - I have done all the downstairs, and finished it before I took DD to school and swapped her for DS1 who's free until lunch time! I haven't quite stuck to the list, so I may have another check through that and do a few extra bits.

On my own list, I have to pay some money into DS1's bank account, order some Christmas presents online, make a casserole and a cake for tomorrow, and buy a few extra bits of food.

Coffee time!:coffee::coffee::coffee:Anyone? No cake, but biscuits!

Gryfon

On another 15 min break. Going around the kitchen worktops, slow but sure! And ironed another shirt. Small girl pulled a radiator cover down on her earlier so I still have that mess to clean up!

Good morning Flyladies. I haven't got going yet this morning.
I'm worried about DD. No matter how hard she tries she can't remember more than 3 things at a time. She spent ages doing her homework over the weekend. It doesn't come naturally to her, but she tries hard and perseveres until it's done. It's due in today and she's lost it. We searched high and low for it last night and couldn't find it. So I think she must have lost it at school. It makes me sad to see her struggle.
