Come sit by my :coffee:... we can look at it together and sit here doing nothing!

Sounds like a fab plan. I've just finished mine so I'll look at yours instead.

Suppose I should really go and give DD2 some fruit and put her down for her nap though. Two and a half hours ish until the 2 big ones are home and my peace is shattered :rotfl: Got to be mean and make DD1 do her tuba practice, and make both of them get changes and get everything ready for tomorrow. Shouldn't take more than an hour but they always seem to drag it out!

It gets worse, I just threw milk all over the ktichen (by accident) and have had to clean it off every imaginable surface!

THink I may just give up....

I have so many halo's choking my neck I look like a giraffe!

I've just written tomorrow list.. Jennybee will LOVE me.... lol

College bag to sort out.

I got DD3 a stacking box with lid to put her pi$$y laundry in... apparently it is empowering having a place to put your pi$$y clothes.. why she can't put them in the regular basket I don't know.. but.. hey ho!

I got moaned at when we went to pi$$y clinic.. apparently I am really negative about the whole bedwetting.. well she is 8 and I am sick of it.. surely lying to her and saying it is ok is worse? ...She would then think I lied ALL the time (I don't, only half!) and she wouldn't be able to trust me then.. at least with me you can bet your life (unless it is detrimental to me) I won't be lying.

Justamum...Mr G is great at finding reduced stuff. Although some of it I wonder if we actually need! When we all go shopping he disappears whilst I get the fruit and veg and comes back with as much reduced stuff as he can carry :rotfl:

My DH does most of the cooking and all of the ironing and always has done. When he cleans a room he totally guts it ... removes the furniture...serious deep clean job. I do the daily cleaning and tidying. He's naturally untidy (you should see his study!!!). He does all the DIY too including things like building a conservatory, converting the attic etc. I really can't complain about him (though I do!!!) :rotfl: .

Hmmm I think Mr G could sew if he had to, but he doesn't have to as I enjoy it. He does do a lot of the cooking though if I haven't started anything. He's also fabulous at doing cookies...mmmmm.

I can't help feeling I've been short-changed in the man department :rolleyes:

Just to let you all know I have my bad points to...

I hate bathing the little ones don't know why I just do No matter how busy I am in the evening DH will not bath DD2

I hate hot weather..the colder the better....(yes even now when its -8) My DH hates the cold. He's from SA so likes the heat.

I have no dress sense whatso ever..I have a t-shirt that I still wear that is now around 15 years old... most of my clothes are coverd in various paint and oil stains... My DH lives in the 'lowveld uniform' - khaki shirt, khaki trousers (preferably with lots of pockets in them :rolleyes:)

I love reading almost to an obssesion...I read in the bath untill the water gets cold..let the water out and have been known to sit in an empty bath still reading for around an hour... DH and I have that in common - except we both prefer showers - and you can't really read there :rotfl:

I get really grumpy when im tired.....and i hate indirect questions....

And ditto Pigpen - I hate shopping too!

Jjef - I was going to set it up but i'd have to move the television and the unit it's on which isn't advisable at the moment. Also, DH loves gadgets etc and I know he really wants to set it up, bless him, so i'm being good and just looking at it and reading the manual! xx

Gryfon

Justamum...I think you need a trade in! Just thought that Mr G will also iron his shirts if I haven't done it. He also brought me back some yummy chocolate last night after taking DD1 to dancing and then going to my parents to get my sewing machine And he does lots of overtime to pay for expensive presents for me...oh and so I don't have to work and can stay at home to watch the children.

I've given DD2 an orange, put more coal on the fire and hung up one t-shirt to dry :rotfl: A headache has just appeared from no-where though! Not fair...was doing so well!
