    Oh am I first up then this morning? I actually managed 4 hours sleep so not too bad.:j I stayed up til 1.30am.
    Tag, I dont know how you manage on such little sleep, I would be even more of a wreck than I already am !

    lil_me hope you had good holiday andhave not now got lost under mountain of washing. We were away 6 days and I came back and dd 5 loads of washing and my machine is a massive Dyson so probably nearaer 8 loads normal size. How can small people get through so many clothes ......

    Sarah - glad DD was good for opticians and nic on on the Wagamama outing - I love Wagamama, and its fairly healthy and fats and not too dear! I will try and be as horrible to my kids as possible like you suggest. Shouldnt be too taxing :rotfl:

    julie - yes my older two are 18 months apart but now great company for each other (as wwell as sparring partnetr obv) so its paid off :)

    hex - LOL re "babysitting" comment - I even have to thank mine when he does it :confused: Hope today went well

    g&b we have blackout blinds in all the bedrooms, even our own. In baby's toom we were convering no chances and for all of them as they passed through they have had blackout blind, blackout linings, normal linings and curtains, At one point DS had rugs tucked over too :rotfl:
    They do definitely make a difference, though you will prob find she still wakes a bit earlier than you hope. Got ours from Harveys or whatever it is called these days. I also made a roman blacout for DS room with some spare blackout lining material. But its not very good LOL

    mozzy ((hugs)) for the sore throat, garling with hot salty water helps but its vile :eek:

    vivw youve reminede me I meant to attack ever growing pile of carp next to DH side of bed and I forgot when I was in there darnit. Oh well maybe tomorrow.

    rose - def cut up the card before he changes his mind, I am the same, go around buying SP noodles etc and then DH goes and gets a takeaway pizza on the night I go babysitting cos I didnt cook him anything , or comes home with some essential bit of networking kit for his Xbox

    Hope everyone else is ok, I am going to take kids to McDonalds now for weekly treat :D
    Will catch up rest of thread later.
    By the way its bbrrrrrrr f-f-f-freezing here, anyone else got the nasty greay cold wet rain ???

    Hi all!
    I disappeared at about 11.30 this morning to do a HHC & haven't reported back yet! oopps! In that half hour I dried & put away the dishes on the drainer, did another load of washing up, cleaned all the cat bowls mats & floor and cleaned the mirror in the spare room ready for OH's parents who are staying with us for the weekend!

    This afternoon I spent a bit of time generally tidying up, making sure all towels were clean, enough loo roll out, made fruit salad for pudding tonight etc etc. Anyway they'll be here any minute so thats me busy for the weekend so might not make it back here til Sunday evening so have a fab weekend everyone!

    Oh and sending healing vibes to mummyof5's lady..what a nightmare...

    Catch you all soon

    I have sheets blowing in the sunshine here...but it's not particularly warm...so I will be ironing shortly;)
    I have written the cards for the golf clubs I am selling (DS's first set, now outgrown) and the trolley jack...
    and I shall put profits towards the CC...if they sell!
