    I must be one of those horrible mums - all DS toys etc are kept upstairs......he can bring them downstairs and play etc, but when he is finished/goes to bed, they all go back upstairs in his room. (except the Wii and the games which are beside the TV)

    I dont have enough room for all his clutter to be all over the house.


    Same here Jo, all the boys cars, toys etc are in they're room, we tend to keep them in there as well as they never take them back to they're room plus theres not enough room to run round front room playing cars :o there'd be an injury to either one of them or the kittens!! :rotfl:

    Hugs for HollyH, Mudbath, Kaz and anyone else who feels the need.

    Stupidly busy with my consultancy stuff which is great from a finances/brain point of view but bad for the house, garden, children and animals.

    The house is officially horrible, not least because DS1 walked chicken poo through the whole ground floor this morning. He was doing his best to help at the time - he is collecting helping points because he wants a Playmobil Castle that is stupid money :rolleyes:.

    Weight loss, just to say a stone in a month is achievable, I know because I just did it between 11th May and 8th June courtesy of Slimming World and a reasonable amount of exercise :j:j:j:j. Want to lose another one before we go away so joining in again here.

    Right - I need to go for a run, then I will be back here for a HHC at 2.15pm. So far today I have managed to strip our bedding and put it in the WM so lots to do.


    Toys in BRs or not - not currently but as soon as they have their own rooms we will. Lucky that we have a playroom so can close the dooor on the mess. They share a small room at the moment so no room for stuff. Or a wardrobe.....
