pammyj74's MFW diary (or possible wishful thinking!!)

I think constant tiredness is a side effect of being a parent isn't it. I was in the middle of a lovely sleep when i heard DS1 get up and come downstairs. I looked at the clock and it was 6:20. Not good he has learnt how to open the babygate, and the back door, and he is not to be trusted as they both snuck out yesterday morning when i popped up to the loo. I could hear them on the trampoline. :eek: So reluctant as i was, thought i had best see what he was up to.

Your loft sounds like a great opportunity to me. If you don't know it is there then ebay it. Can't miss it really then can you.

Sorry the kids dad refused to help you. I wouldn't have even thought like sml and stop him taking them abroad. If you were to do that it is them that will suffer isn't it. Men can be absolute PITAs.

Have a nice day x

we do seem to sleep with one ear alert!
I doubt there will be anything worth selling up there, just junk for the dump! As I say I have never been up there and I have been here 10 years, ex used to put stuff up there. think its just old lamps and cushions yuk.

Is you garden all blocked off, thats scary if they can get out. Luckily my kids ca get up and get their own brekkie at the weekends so i get a lie in!

It is all fenced off but we can't lock the gate at the moment as it is has absorbed water and swollen so the lock won't turn. I'm not sure he'd go out of it, but i worry more he lets DS2 out as he would not think and just run off onto the road or wherever. Best start hiding the back door keys too. Trouble is that if they are that persistent they climb and find things don't they so i guess i had best keep an ear out. At least i hear him open the gate.

They remind me of my little brother. When he was2-3ish he wandered off one Sunday morning in his PJs as we all slept, and the 1st we knew about it was when some woman brought him home. :eek:

Your list is coming along well. And you never know, there might be something exciting in the loft. Got to have something to make the job a bit more exciting to keep you motivated.

ewww its going to be a yukky job and I dont like heights or dark or spiders! And I need to get a torch that works lol, will put it off I think til I have to do it.

surveys seem to be lacking this week, I normally get about 5 to try a day but only getting about 2 at the moment. I dont mind as sometimes they are tedious!

need to get DDs stuff ready for her cross country race tomorrow but really cannot be bothered to do anything. wish i could get out of this rut!

Am still getting worried and sick about London trip tomorrow but really want to enjoy it.

You will be fine hun I used to panic about going to London but now I've done it a few times, as long as I've got my street and tube map, its easy to find my way around.

Have a good weekend and enjoy yourself!

I just wanted to say I love reading your diary, and hope you have a fabulous time in London..

Which survey sites do you do?? I'm sure I've read you do valued opinions and onepoll (both of which I also use)..I also find Pure Profile really good (but the best tip with them is to log on) as I don't tend to receive e-mails from them, but surveys are available when I log in..I've had £50 from Pure Profile in the last 6 months..

I do lightspeed, VO, GTM, New vista (but not very often), Ipsos.

Am back from London, we survived!! We must have walked about 10 miles at least today. I am really pleased with myself as I didnt use the vouchers for the bus tour and found my way round myself. I now have £50 to use on another dayout for the kids over half term
And I only spent £7.68 all day which included McD for kids (you can tell that we never really do that as that was one of my lads highlights today pmsl) and a tip for a street performer who was hilarious and the kids loved his tightrope act.

Had an absolutely lovely day in the glorious sunshine, the weather could not have been better for us, the kids behaved and didnt whine once about the walking (thats the training of walking everywhere back here to save money that has helped with that )

After getting off the coach, we could hardly walk, so goodness knows how we are going to be tomorrow!

Am off for an early night as really really tired today, kidsa are going to their dads tomorrow afternoon so might catch up on a few things then.
