OK, maybe hot press is an irish thing ... did anyone know what I was talking about ??

I did, but I used to live in Dublin

Am considering making a second round of dinner. Perhaps I should have a sandwich instead... or perhaps dinner 2.0 is in fact in order. Hmmmmmmm.

Since we're comparing accomplished lists, today I have: gone on a three hour trek to pick up a parcel, done five loads of laundry, put away three of them (other two still in the TD/WM), done dishes and put them away twice, cleared off the dining table, folded the nappies, gone to the supermarket, checked the price of flip flops in Accessorize here versus ordering online, finished an important work thing, sent a couple of work emails, contacted my mother for her birthday, tidied a bit in the dining room, tidied a bit in the living room, put away my good wine glasses, fed and entertained the baby... and I think that's it.

I meant to ask: Sami, how did Ed's appointment go? And MOTM, what happened with the school?

see, I am the one when I go back to work that wont be doing as much, but I would never ever dream of making chris do everything !! I still will be doing my fair share of housework after the kids are in bed !! And as soon as I get in it will be mummy and kids time !!

Hugs for all poorly babies and mummies.

I have read back but there is too much to remember apart from BOO at the horrible elements of the medical profession.

SM - I too have thick, wavy unruly hair - when it's down my nickname is the wild woman of Borneo! I never bother with hairdryers or straighteners, I just don't have the patience.

Katie starts her free place in September as she is 3 in April - reminds me must ring the playgroup again as they still haven't sent an application form.

I can't really bulk buy as my freezer is stuffed, and I can't fill the 2nd bedroom with stuff as we should be getting it ready for Katie.

Chips & Pizza - Katie doesn't like them, I'm lucky if she eats one, loves her baked beans though and she loves mummy's homemade pizzas, which I don't mind her having as I limit the salt and pile on the veg.

Fitz: :rotfl: Did you and csh (and the babies) have a nice day?

I've been reading between swimming and dealing with Liam. Seems some of the medical profession need a swift kick up the bum.

Claire, I think you should share, I'm nosey?

Can't remember much of what I have read, but just to add my view on OH. DH does go MMA training 2-3 times a week (more this month because he has a fight at the end of the month), but he goes around 7ish just as I am starting to get Liam ready for bed and he spends the time between going and coming home from work with L.

I do the cooking cleaning etc on these days, but that is my choice, I would prefer to do this so OH can spend time with Liam - and spending time means playing, feeding and chaning nappies if needed. On his free evenings DH will cook, clean, do bath-time/bed-time whatever. At weekend we do things together and both try the blitz the house so it's easier to keep on top of during the week.

Got to get sorted for tomorrow. Need to pop to Mums with Liams passport form before I go to pick up searchie, so need to be organised. And I need to cook tea do bottles cos DH is training :rotfl:
