    Can I join too? My house is so disorganised and I hate housework with a passion i always do whats necessary, but really need to get myself motivated and i think this could inspire me! Thanks x
    That's how I feel, but with the help of this wonderful post, I'm getting there.

    Talking of getting noticed, pigpen I seem to have disappeared from your list a couple of weeks ago :(

    Thanks to Pigpen, Toots & Soappie, I'm in again.

    Off to bed in a minute but just wanted to say thanks to the 3 of you for the great job you do; you'll never know how much you help me.

    I'm in this week just for level 1s and a few things of my own. AF is visiting and is NOT being kind to me, so certainly for the next few days I'll be going at my own pace and doing what I can when I can. We've had a lovely weekend and DH has been fab with the kids as I've been horribly achey/crampy etc.

    Thanks again!

    Oops pigpen - well many early birthday wishes for December then,lol!
    helenhelen - I have always massively hated housework honestly I really have but now I am actually starting to enjoy it which amazes me! (It amazes my hubby even more,lol)!
    I think this thread really helps tbh and if you don't get everything done you still achieve more than normal and the support on here is lovely :)
    Good luck hunny, you can do it :)

    Everything happens for a reason :)

    Pigpen ...sorry to see he has been a KH yet again...those poor children need their sleep on a school night...cant he even understand that?

    Obviously it is too difficult a concept to grasp that a child under 12 needs to be in bed by 7:30 on a school night or they make everyones life miserable for the whole week!

    Had a bad fright on Friday night...LO was playing up about going to bed so OH chased him into kitchen,picked him up and threw him over his shoulder....and dropped him.....he has a huge yellow bruise on his forehead,cut lips top and bottom...he bit his tongue and had a bloody nose...have never seen so much blood...thankfully he is fine now but wont let dad pick him up now ....he says no dad I dont want any more accidents...bless he is only 3....OH still feels terrible as he was only playing with him
    xxxxxxxxx
    My dh did the throwing up in air with my dd in this new house and seeing as we used to live in an old one with much higher ceilings he nearly hit her head !
    My 5 year old is very proud of the fact that he currently has 21 bruises, mostly on his legs, one on his head which he thankfully did at school. He brings home at least one bump sheet a week, his record is 3 so far so I can relate to the above and also to your feelings of remorse, tell your Oh, the important thing is that he has those feelings, many so called "parents" don't.

    Think I've got everyone on the flybot list on post #2...

    My uncle used to give me 10p for poking all my bruises.. I always had hundreds of them as a very clumsy little girly!
