WE'RE HAVING A PIG!!! DH has spoken to the person who's sourcing the weaners, and he's ordered one for us. He takes delivery on Saturday, but as we go on holiday on Sunday, we won't get to see her until we're back. I shall name her Crackling so that no-one is in any doubt as to her fate

My DH works long hours in a job he hates so that I don't have to work full time and the boys have me, not child care, and so that we can have the dream house we both wanted he spends his weekends mostly doing DIY. I neither want nor expect him to contribute to the cleaning which I try and get done when he isn't home. I don't think this makes me a mug, just a fair and mutually acceptable division of labour based on our skill sets and circumstances.

I did make myself S&S the kitchen and get the DW on. Serious attack of CBA, glad we are at home tomorrow.

You are definitely not a mug, and I hope nobody would ever tell you you are. We are in a similar position - DH works, and I'm doing all the flying. He does help me sometimes (like today) when I've been poorly and can't manage or there is something he particularly wants done, but other than that I feel we have a good division of labour that works well for both of us, and it sound like you do too.

Yes Dusty I sleep very well at night despite my naps. Due to my illness, my body wants lots of sleep. I do find that at night I get lots of nightmares and also sometimes my tummy problems wake me up and mean that I don't sleep as deeply as I should. My naps in the day are far more refreshing and I seem to sleep deeper and dreamlessly in the day.

For anyone still confused about the challenges:

Pigpen has lists. Not everyone can do these as they are too much for them. So we now have black run (for people who can do Pigpen's lists) and nursery slopes (for people who can't do Pigpen's lists - these people pick 5 things they want to acheive in a day and post their personal list of 5 the evening before or in the morning. Like Pigpen's lists, these can roll over - ie they can finish Monday's list on Friday and still get an award for Monday). Pigpen has also posted her own challenge to us all which is a weekly challenge.

In simple terms: Black run - Pigpen's lists - award: stars (as we have had for the last few months)
Nursery slopes: personal list of 5 things to be done in one day - award: flashing heart
Pigpen's challenge: to be done throughout the week - award: heart

Johanne well done on the Avon, any idea when a promo on kids suncream will be?

Off top of my head (as not home yet) the next decent suncream offer is in Campaign 13 .. all suncream is on 2 for £8 or 3 for £10.

If your buying it direct from the avon website that will come online on either 6th or 7th of august....... if your buying from a rep it will vary depending what area/mailplan they are on

Hope that helps!

well my DH is a star, he cooks most of the week when I am working, does all the ironing (a job I hate) and will clean anything I ask him to!!

So all I have left on my list is the kitchen shelf which I am about to go and fetch and to kill a hot spot

not a bad day really also discovered how to subscribe to a thread (D'OH) which will make things easier!!!

can't decide wether to go cut the grass or to go for a walk....hhhhmmmm

pigpen

dusty.. I don't like lamb but it needed decluttering so in the interest of clearing out the fridge it became my duty.

Just stuffing my face then i'll do the list.. spaggy blog to declutter a few onions some slightly curly mushrooms and some mince from the fridge too!!

msgnomey

Hmm just need to work out how to access the threads I have subscribed to ???

Any ideas??

Tashja

I am still here !!!

Levels 1, 2 and 3 done do I get a star or something !!

Didn't realise we have a list of 5 as well - that will help too.

Thank you all for the wonderful welcome and I will be watching for tomorrows list. DH thought he was in the wrong house tonight because we actually have a kitchen !!! lol

I am off to have a nosey on FB and I might do some more ironing in a bit.

Can you believe it - I finished my list!!!!! So a big red DONE all round for me! I even managed 2 hours playing with DD in the garden and had our dinner outside too. Now she is in bed and I am not feeling as exhausted as I probably should - no doubt it will hit me tomorrow
