toochoosey

congrats vanilla

really should sign off now, first morning up 2morow...............

Gryfon

Hmmm do I have to get up tomorrow, I can't decide if the children going back to school is worth getting up early :rotfl:

Just seen an advert on telly which is a fab advert but Mr G would be freaked as he's phobic of buttons. In the first bit hundreds of buttons grow into button flowers :rolleyes: Good job he's not watching it!

Anyway waffling now so think I might go to bed and warm my chilly hands and feet up. I've been trying to get on here on my phone but it's really fiddly.

Well I did do that HHC at 3.30 and it turned into a 2 hour marathon! Interspersed with helping the kids with stuf. Asbo baby had a good hour and a half sleep which was a big help and the other 2 watched Alvin and the Chipmunks They then decided that they would play rockets by emptying ALL the toy boxes of toys and linig them up and using some as lids to sort of trap themselves in :rotfl:. So the carpet was yet again awash with gazillions of small toys. Who needs asbo baby when you have Devastation Boy and Annihilation Girl.

Anyway I never did do my list upate today. Here's todays update along with all the extras I did:

Hi,

Congratulations Vanilla.

Good luck vibes being sent to Johanne.

Ds2 has just gone to sleep:eek:, he fell asleep on the floor at 5.15 and i couldn't wake him. Oh tried as well when he came over about 6 and he couldn't either:rolleyes:. I put his pjs on him and put him to bed about 6.30, and he was still asleep. 9.30 comes and he wakes up starving hungry. I fed him and put him back to bed but he's only just gone to sleep:eek:. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow:rolleyes:.

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............
To stop picking my feet.

(gross alert stop reading now unless you want to give me unlimited sympathy)

Feet update. I tried so hard last night I just ignored them whereas normally at bedtme I fiddle. Went to bed, Couldnt sleep they were so sore, got up to check and on one foot I had two big cuts that I had left open to let the air at them, well sock fluff had got in and it was agony. I dont know how a wee bit of fluff can hurt so much. So cleaned them up, a load more skin peeled off, all raw and sore bbooo hoooo I hate them. Took some more painkillers and back to bed. (By this time it was 2.30am. DS came in at 3.30 am and again at some point later YAWN) However on the plus side one foot has had no plasters all day, seems ok now, so I am hopeful that at least one foot is improving.

Thats it for me TTFN

the other 2 watched Alvin and the Chipmunks

A & W love that film, W does a great impression of Theo I think! A bit about trash cans where he goes 'Oooooooooooo' in a really cute voice! To anyone who has never seen it you will think what the heck is she on about :rotfl::rotfl:

And with that I am off to bed.

Toots hope all goes well tomorrow, will be thinking of you.

Night all xx
