    Morning all, tired today for some reason.......anyway best get on, off to launderette to dry all the wet washing, then off to the dump to get rid of some rubbish.

    Then print off everything we need to.

    Open pressies.

    OH much better today, quite chipper, in fact he's gone off to the shops......on his own!!!

    It's Pigpens birthday on tuesday, she's 709 years old.:rotfl:

    HHC - I started off looking for the sticky tape for DS to stick a bit on his superman suit, he is obsessed. :mad: I found it on the top of the TD so I put it in its right place and decluttered the top of the TD. Next I cleaned DD’s bottom. Not the cleaning I had in mind but it took the better part of 10 min. I reckon I spend about an hr a day on nappy change! :eek: I then empted WM, sorted another load, put that load on radiators and airer. Removed DH work shirts from the radiator and put it aside for ironing (tomorrow)
    Now I am sat feeding DD (loads more hrs :D ) and will try to catch up on the thread.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I've done it again. Every year without fail :o:o:o

    I bought DD some DVD's off ebay.......and............I've put them in such a safe, anti DD frodging place that even I can't find the bleeding things!!
  • Oh and I had to wear DS’s old superman cape all the way through. I will probably be asked to wear it all day too. He wears his all day everyday. Is that normal for a 3yr old or am I looking at the beginnings of OCD?

    Summermoon - Max is lovely I like the pic of him with your DS so cute together

    OH is still being an idiot - we talked and sorted out financial issues I don't think he realised quite how serious me going on to half pay in a couple of months is or how long term we are going to struggle if I don't get things sorted. All was going well til I checked my email in front of him and there was one from my ex saying "Merry Christmas" -huge row with him storming out. I can't stop ex from emailing - I never reply and at least he's stopped calling - there's no way with Yahoo of blocking emails is there???? Grrrrrr
