Afternoon!

Good luck RAGZ, I'm sending positive vibes.

It's Friday - hurrah! DS is off to his dad's later, I do miss him but the break is nice too. He is quite a challenge to occupy sometimes.

Today's list is as follows:

- [STRIKE]washing on[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]put dry washing away and hang wet washing up to dry[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]clean out handbag[/STRIKE]
- wash up
- [STRIKE]clean windows in DS's bedroom[/STRIKE]
- do not even think about ex-OH as it ruins my mood! this one's not going so well but I am trying
- 30 minutes on the wii fit
- [STRIKE]declutter DS's room for 15 minutes[/STRIKE]

Another easy day, yet the house is improving

Take care all and enjoy your day.

Thanks for all the positive baby vibes everyone. This is the first time I've sat down in hours as I was trying to get gravity to do some work!

So far today I have done

Levels 1 and 3 of Flylady list
Made pizza and quiche (quiche for freezer as a post baby meal!) with boys
Made leftover rice into egg fried rice with ham and peas for boys' lunch with the pizza
Made Yorkshire puds for dinenr tongiht but thy don't look right, not enough mixture and not hot enough oil I decided, but I expect they are still edible...

Off for a rest now as bump is very tight and uncomfortable again...

Hi,

Can I join this thread please. I have only read the first and last pages, will read the rest tonight when the kids are in bed. I am SAHM to three kids aged 7, 4 and 13 months. I am also pregnant with my 4th child due 4th May so I really need to be organised. I am trying hard to keep up with the house but it is hard and I really need some motivation!

In addition to the kids, my husband works in England whilst I live in France with the kids and he only comes home every 2 weeks for a long weekend, so it is doubly hard as it is like being a single mum most of the time. Oh and we have a mini farm here in France. I have 4 cats, 1 dog (very excitable), 3 sheep, 2 pygmy goats, 2 ducks and 37 chickens! So a lot to do and I need to get more organised!!!:eek:

I will post my list for tomorrow later on once I have read the rest of the thread.

oh while I remember the gift for a 30 year old. How about getting stuff to remind them of being a teenager? almond macaron lipstick from rimmel, dew berry perfum from the body shop. Don't think you can get them now but how about making a cd with all the tunes from their teenage years? Bros or newkids what ever they were into?

haha thanks for the advice, im sorry tho I did have a bit of a giggle imagining the look on hubby's face when he opened a box with lipstick and new kids on the block mix tapes hehehe somehow i dont think he was into that as a kid

iheart2poundcoins - i LOVE those wipes, its the only thing i use, it doesnt make the floor feel sticky after you've washed it and they smell gorgeous!

Moneysavingdiva - yay the halfway mark! it gets alot easier when you can feel bubs move (not sure if you can yet?) but the worry never goes, even after they are born! mine are 6 and nearly 3 and i still check they are breathing every night lol

Ragz - im pretty late in sending you vibes but hoping it still helps, good luck

hi to everyone joining :j
