I've been tidying. Tons done, dishes just done and I've just eaten lunch - bean and pepper salad and a banana. Tasty but I'm sooooooo hungry

Molly's sleeping peacefully, when she's up she and OH are off to get some DIY bits and pieces giving me a bit of alone time. I'm going to Wii Fit or Wii Just Dance, do a bunch of situps and take a bath. Calories WILL be burned, I've still not lost any weight and now it's been three days.

Bruno, I disagree with Redmel saying 3 days isn't a lot, well it isn't but when you get used to a certain schedule and someone with you helping in the evenings then suddenly they aren't there for three days it can be hard. My OH works odd shifts and it's hard adjusting to different routines all the time especially if it's not expected.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as insensitive in my post. I suppose I was thinking that as 3 days isn't a particularly long time then maybe she is suffering with anxiety/depression to begin with, which means she is unable to cope with being alone with E for such periods of time:)

Well cleaning has halted at the moment as lunch was calling...Kai slept for all of 30mins:mad: Living room/playroom look so much better now and the hallway is mainly full stuff that needs taking upstairs, so won't take long anyway.

Don't worry, I knew what you meant. I used to have a long distance relationship with my OH, sometimes not seeing him for 3 weeks at a time and now I struggle with 3 days! It's just perspective really. Good luck with tidying, I don't have a stairs to take things up

Hi all..

Huge *hugs* for always xxx

I'm currently sat with my feet up in the B&B lounge with endless cuppas coming my way and a pack of Jaffa Cakes OH and Rhys are off stomping up hills somewhere and I am getting the peace and quiet I was really craving! (and browsing for our next holiday).

Bruno, I've been feeling a bit like MrsB but luckily I do have my mum and friends to escape to if needs be - maybe I need to make use of them more! I'm on the countdown to work anyway so not long to go until I will hopefully be able to enjoy alllllll of my time with Rhys Sod's law, he'll have grown out of his whingyness the week before I go back properly and I'll be regretting (half!)wishing the time away! :cool:

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.. Lots of spring cleaning going on, I see

Hi All... I hope everyone is ok. Have been very bush here - doing a few extra days at work, and have my new Dyson, so time for a spring clean. AND everything needs doing at the alotment too. Busy busy!

Our most important news though - we got a zia petit star Didn't get one of the reconditioned ones, as they didn't have any in stock, but did have some on offer which came with rain cover, foot muff and changing bag for only £20 more. Izzy loves it and keeps trying to climb in

And she has been a sicky baby - seems to be feeling better now (exept for a cough) so we are just waiting for her appetite to come back.

I agree. When I had ds2 (ds1 was 23mths) dh used to work away mon-fri so for months I only saw him at the weekends and he never has been great at helping out with the kids. If he did even HALF the stuff Bruno says he does on here I would think I had died and gone to heaven:rotfl:

I hate dragging stuff up the stairs, hence why it sits in the hallway for ages first:o

Kai and Jaden both seem to have caught a bit of a chill from yesterday:(

Becles

Cleaned our hallway this morning. It's got cream wallpaper, cream paintwork and a cream radiator cabinet and they were all thick of mud splashes from the dogs

Had a shoe amnesty in the settle and made the boys throw out a load of shoes. Found a pair of trainers that Josh barely wore but they're too big for James at the moment, so I've made him put them in his wardrobe until his feet grow two sizes :money:

Found Charlotte's first shoes in there and a baby hat - awww so tiny!

Hi elle!

Glad you are having a good relax! Did you manage to get everything packed in time?

SS, you are far too dedicated to this diet malarky. What about Easter??
