Good Evening,

I am in this week! Haven't done any flying today. I've been nursing a teething baby, he's 13 months and he is cutting his teeth with such trauma. He gets really bad nappy rash, dodgy tummy, rubbing gums, grinding teeth, banging head, very clingy...
Have only been doing the basic necessary things today and just sitting with the kids. Giving DS2 lots of cuddles, massage, bath etc...

awh hugs for you and the LO - thats not easy - but LO is more important thatn the dust - the dust will wait - just do whats absolutely necessary first.

Just thought I'd let you know that the seller has getting back in touch with us. They are going to send one to us and told us not to worry and they are going to deal with the courier themselves,

great news huston thats the way it should be handled.

pigpen what a lovely photo - thanks for posting it - you must be very proud of them - what a handsome son you have and wee Jacob is coming on really well - it shows what good care his mummy and ds are taking of him.
princess Jane well done sorting out your overdrafts:T
lil_me good to see you got your assignment in on time despite the crappy tutor - hope you have done your letter of complaint?
FFP its a good habit to get into with the children anyway - Hugs for being a Mum and worrying about her 'babies' - well done for getting into your studying.
juliejim you were on a roll this morning :T- what kind of animals are you looking after for your friend?

Well I've been up since 6am yet again, and this time I got worse. I went into the garden and started transplanting my veg and plants. Gods knows what the neighbours thought, I think they think I have finally lost the plot.
Can I have permission to go back to bed for a couple of hours now...lol

What does it matter if you are an early riser - you will have more time in the day to enjoy any fine weather - did the discs come?

Moning everyone.It was lovely walking into the kitchen this morning and not finding dirty dishes stacked every where.

well done to you - its such a brilliant feeling and you just dont want it to get in a mess again (but it will!)
G&B (((hugs))) you must be worried about LO - I know I am for myself with my breathing problems but having to think about her catching something that she will struggle to deal with must be very hard - you are a very brave lady. Enjoy your Wimbledon you deserve it after all your hard work at Uni.
grateful there is also a tutorial/guide for new sellers on ebay itself.
toochoosey glad you had a good time and well done with DD - it will take time so you have to keep working at it - I know its hard and feels strange to always be upbeat but I know you can do it (((hugs)))

Hi all,

I was up super late last night trying to tidy the livingroom, looks not too bad! Decided all the car boot sale stuff I didn't sell (i.e. most of it - only made £14), is going to Charity! Thought about ebay but after reading about everything it involves, it scared me enough not to bother. Ideally I'd like to try ebaying or another boot sale but the boxes are taking over the house and driving me mad. So off to the nearest Charity shop for me and might even get me a star!

Hope everyone else doing better x

gunsandbanjos

All done Toots, may i have a star please:j

My bedroom looks and smells lovely:D I have had the window open letting in the fresh air and also been burning a tangerine yankee tart, combined with the smell of freshly washed bedcovers:p

boddy hope you and Mum have a lovely wlk in the park - enjoy your day in the ward.

Really chuffed so far.I just started this yesterday, I didnt stress over all the rooms, as I usually do, and just concentrated on the Livingroom.
Fantastic to open the livingroom door this morning and it is tidy. Can't wait to do the rest, by the weekend my house will be so much tidier.
Master bedroom to do today, slighty more of a challenge, but the feeling
of achievement will be great.

liamsmum you have got the right idea honey and you are doing really very well - go with the lists - forget the rest - it all comes around every week so you can catch up on new bits next time - its a lovely feeling to see the difference isnt it and I hope it will help you stay in control better. Dont worry asbout the bedroom - do what you can and next week you will be able to do a bit more beacsue you have started!

Don't they realise I have a backlog of washing from Wednesday of last week when the machine packed up, I need to get started

I guess I could list some things on ebay, would be a good idea as ds2 ( the rather well known ds2 on this forum ) as told me he wants a total wardrobe change, apparently he is fed up with wearing black and now wants to change into some brighter colours ( maybe he is beginning to realise he is the child of a couple of old hippies:eek:)

Hope the new machine has arrived ok and you are catching up -great idea to sell DS's stuff to fund the new - could you get him interested in doing it with you? Hippies ....:rotfl:

Re the tiredness - I dont know about being anaemic (sp?) - Im naturally very pale and have been checked several times before but test have always shown that Im not. Having said that, I cant remember the last time I was checked. It may have been when I had DS (7 years ago!)

Jo honey worth having it checked - if its ok then it rules it out - well done to serena for keeping you right with the linings.
dusty fingers crossed for a good MOT for you
phizzimum mattress turning - depends if you have some space on one side of the bed - what I do is pull the mattress toward me as if I was going to pull it off the bed - as far as I can -then push it upwards until its upright and then let it topple over and thats it turned! When you have a minute re-read pigpen's first post and you will find nearly all the abbreviations on it at the beginning. And yes as soappie says - you have to do all 3 levels to get a star. there are guidlines on my post 3 above the stars.
pooh it doesnt matter who does it so long as its done!:T
LadyL I hope you have a brilliant time and it doesnt rain - yes I am sure you will be whacked when you get back but hey who cares -your friends are being caring but you need to do whats right for you - just get your packing done in stages and to hell with the rest - whats happening to kitties?
SS supergirl NAW you would pass with flying colours ....I would make sure of that!!!:rotfl::rotfl: Hope you have managed to get somethings done today and not been sunbathing all day!!!:rolleyes:Hope you made it to the sports day on time and got all the girls on film - I wish I had seen that earlier and I would have been nagging you :rotfl:
carslberggal Hiya honey - could you put a cloth on the table to cut down the cleaning of it a bit? Am I having a blond senior moment again - have I missed your birthday? Sorry work is getting to you - what about a change of job? oooooooh I might like getting my bot smacked :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
grateful hope DD1 is on the mend.
prunella welcome to the thread - I will send you a pm that might help a bit more.

Afternoon, back from helping at school. All 3 kids really grouchy so won't be long until they are banished to their rooms.

Just need to put second wash on the line. I never got to the hoovering later and it is too hot now, maybe later, or tomorrow.

Woody has been a bit off colour the last couple of days so I may have to take him to the vet tomorrow.
