    Bloomin' 'eck Merry you are an absolute inspiration. It's no wonder you have had no chance for CF clean up with all that going on.

    Lots of ((((hugs)))) and make sure you take time out for you as well, don't run yourself ragged.

    Sometimes I wonder whether I'm going to meet myself coming in the other direction :rotfl: This weekend is a non-kiddies weekend - lil monster is staying with Daddy in his new flat (he moved in with his girlfriend), and the older two are spending the weekend with their daddy. I will be watching the box set of Murder One season 2 :cool:

    I wish I could drink - these ruddy tablets mean even a sniff of alcohol and I'm on the floor :o But I will be in my jimjams for the whole weekend :cool:

    I love jimjam days. My girls love nothing more than DuvetDays when the four of us pile on the sofa, watch silly dvds, and just snuggle together. Doesn't happen so much in the summer - too hot - but in the winter it's a regular event.

    I guess the older they get, the less it will happen so better make the most of it now! :D

    Update on me:


    Bizarrely, it has only just occurred to me that I have been paying huge amounts of money out repairing the car, paying off final bills, etc all without credit :eek:. .

    Its scary how much we relied on credit is`nt it ! You are doing fantastically well Merry & I should`nt worry about the credit report stuff...it ain`t going anyway for a while anyway:D. Well done on getting the old house bills out of the way. Just the car to fix now.
    Woohoo! I lurrrve pyjama days :D We have one every month or so.

    Hi Tiger

    I`m having a PJ day every week at the moment :eek: but it seems to be helping & I find I get much more done on the other days knowing I have a day to relax.:D

    I suspect that even when they are older the sofa, duvet, popcorn and silly DVD's will still happen.

    Hi Angel,

    Yep! been there, started off with not getting out of my pyjama's for a couple of days and then down to once a week, a couple of times a month and so on till it is how it is today. You just need to do what ever it takes to get things done and don't feel guilty about it.

    Thanks Tiger, I do hope so - I really struck lucky with my girls, they are ruddy marvellous :cool:
