    convienced OH that we had to take the kids out to a park; so we went for maybe 40 min - better than nothing! - watched a movie and then i had to start dinner (another case of 'let's chuck everything together and taste the surprise' :rolleyes: )
    meanwhile dd complained of tummyache and i know she's due a nr.2 - we are fighting this for weeks now. she just won't do one in the potty/toilet - only nappy; or pants - but i forbid her to do that! so she's holding it back now and says she's scared of pushing it out (sorry for tmi :o) - so i sat with her for 1 hour reading book after book .. and nothing! so she's got a nappy and is in bed now .. :confused:

    ds is on his pc and shouting and laughing - i really need to check what he's doing :rolleyes:

    as promised i didn't do much flying - but the d/w is on with all the dinner dishes.

  • Evening all

    Sorry I've given up trying to catch up. Not sure how much I'll be around next week, although I'm only going to be at college on 2 nights now. I have been more or less keeping up with my dailies, although struggling to keep up with the rest.

    Today I have not done very much flying as I've been doing studying for Tuesday. I've not done nearly enough since the course started, so I need to knuckle down. However, I have pulled the dishwasher and washing machine out, cleaned the floor, DH replaced washers on the intake pipes, and I washed the floors behind them. DD and I also went to Sainsbury's for the grocery shopping.

    If I've missed anything crucial, perhaps someone can fill me in!

    Otherwise, I'm off to look for the new thread.
