Happy Birthday 3_cheeky_princesses!
Not much needs done here to be honest DD has been asleep all morning, so I got the washing up done and folded the laundry.
Still don't have a washing machine, I'm getting very annoyed I ordered before Christmas and they keep canceling my order!
Time to get some lunch now and a jumper it's freezing!

Jimjamsmommy - eww yuck lol - who'd take a picture of that! When are you due? I've got 2 and a half weeks (though was late with last two) and head's been engaged for weeks. I am most uncomfortable!

I want a baby - Hope the meatballs turn out ok, I'll feel awful if they don't lol


Well I managed to leave the house for 10 minutes, we took the kids for a walk to the corner shop, which still had loads of bread and milk, much to my surprise and delight. OH insisted we buy a loaf in case my attempt at breadmaking doesn't succeed (I don't blame him!). Was nice to get out even if only for a few minutes as I was beggining to get severe cabin fever and losing it with the kids for silly things (Bad Mummy).

Made bread, it's just about to go in the oven, has risen nicely so may be ok - wil have to wait and see.

My list for today

[STRIKE]
Clean out the fridge
Clean under the sink
Wash bedding

Sweep off sofa
Vacuum LR
Dust LR
Clear bookshelf
Water plants in Utility Room

Dry windows (lots of condensation!)
Clean mould off bedroom wall
[/STRIKE]

Sort coats and shoes and bags...

YAY! I had a crib sat around for most of nov waiting to be scrubbed lol, DS2 still hasn't slept in it, moses basket is lower, so I can get him out for night feeds without getting out of bed lol, he will go in it when he he waking less though!

I am quite pleased with what I have achieved today really since DS2 has been quite unsettled so seem to have spent most of it breastfeeding!

-Have done a load of washing and hung up,
-put 4 loads from airing cupboard away,
-folded and put 1 load IN the airing cupboard
-changed bed sheets and put dirty ones in machine
-made appointment to register DS2
-Bathed DS 1 & 2

Hoping to get some of my NVQ done tonight if DS will do a bit of sleeping lol

:rotfl:I did that and decided I wasn't actually going to have the baby after all, she could just stay in there forever!

Mine (TMI, I'm going to make the text white so you have to highlight it to read) came out in little bits, so it wasn't anywhere near as disturbing as some of the ones I saw. But I still gagged every time I went to the loo - and I was induced as well.

All my stuff except for the situps is done, and I am off to do them now.

Happy birthday!

Today I will:
- [STRIKE]put washing on[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]put dry clothes away and hang wet clothes up[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]afternoon washing up[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]do facepack[/STRIKE] and nailsone new habit at a time
- [STRIKE]clear out crockery cupboards and throw anything away that I don't want/need[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]spend 15 minutes organising DS's bedroom as it's a state and full of toys from when he was 2[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]text my friend and let her know I can't visit her in hosipital[/STRIKE]
- evening washing up I really struggle with this one, there's no heating in the kitchen or hall so it's freezing out there
- [STRIKE]put at least one thing on Freecycle[/STRIKE] - ramekins!

Well, I'm pleased with the extra bits I did today, DS's bedroom looks a bit better and the kitchen looks quite empty, and I only got rid of a few things.

DS came home at about 2pm so it was nice to spend some time with him, and now he can see the toys and stuff he's got properly he wanted to play with some which was nice.

I think when this house is a bit clearer I will need a hobby!

Love to all,

xx
