glam - what (if you don't mind me asking) did you do re the ctf?? we're still trying to decide with connor's...

copied a few girls on the PT too lazy to find my own deal!

engage mutual - you can get £50 cashnack from Quidco or Topcashback plus if you set up a DD you get Boots vouchers. You could cancel the DD once you get the vouchers :shhh:

Hi all, been offline a few days as PC up the creek but I fixed it yesterday. ( I say fixed, I took it apart, dusted it and put it back together!)

Was looknig forward to sitting down and doing nothing this morning as it's the first morning BOTH boys are at preschool but now DH is snowed off work so I should at least attempt to do some housework...

Hope JimJamsMommy's induction went OK - sending restful baby vibes!

After my organisational success on Monday I had the opposite hell of a day last night. DH came home to find the baby screaming, me crying, the kitchen floor covered in spilled milk and the kids table overturned in the living room.

DS1 had utter hysterics about being denied the privalidge of reading in bed for 10 minutes because they'd been wrestling instead of chosing books - he's only 3 but he scream blue murder and the kicking and hitting was unbelievable, he never usually has tantrums as I don't let it get to that but I was making a point and refused to back down (bit of a personality clash there I think!).
In the end DH calmed him down but gave in and let him read which I thought ruined the whole thing.... GGGGGRRRRRRR

Anyways...

To Do List

Home
Vacuum and mop
Washing up
Washing
Wash my bedding (milk!)
Tidy Living Room (Midwife coming later)

Other
Get stamps
Post HB letter
Find DH a mobile contract/PAYG (I had a row with vodafone and cancelled my order!)

Not the Purple ones?
Yes I think I was rather overreacting lol so might have been a touch of the blues... feeling better today.

Must get offline and go get dressed (baby sleeping on my arm at the mo) then start on housework and making meatballs...
