I'm here, bout to go to bed tho'

I flew all day. Feel a bit exhausted to be honest, but I've got a ton of stuff done.

Just waiting for a wash to finish so I can hang it out on the dryer before bed time.

The house looks flippin' amazing though.

I've been jamming my ipod on and listening to an audio book as I go. I find I can keep going with a book longer than with music.

Oh and thanks for tip on the limescale removal. I've been battling with our shower all week!

Night all

And I've just got back from tesco.. I got a christmas pressie for Moomin.. and stocked up on freezer crap as I am far too busy to be faffing in the kitchen.. and a rather cute t-shirt with a frog on for Jacob.. and some nappies for DD3, a cheap cake for after dinner tomorrow.. £1.75 for a birthday cake.. and a tinkerbell dress for Tiddles for her 'Peter Pan' day tomorrow.. they didn't have wings just on their own.. Moomin is going as the crocodile and DD3 is going as Captain hook.. DS3 is refusing to dress up at all.. until it gets to the morning when he'll be wailing..

I am such a nice mummy I said DS2 can have tomorrow off school as well if he wants.. doesn't really matter for one day I guess..

ooh Question...

None of my children have ever had stitches before.. I know he isn't to brush his hair etc.. it said on our leaflet thing.. but can we wash it? I wouldn't scrub his head off or use shampoo and I would do it for him rather than letting him loose when he can't see it but he has loads of dried blood and iodine all over his scalp and right to his forehead.. I did wash the iodine off his face.. he looked like Bart Simpson when hey'd done with him lol

I MUST get the painting finished tomorrow.. I have got all the hallway done .. just need to do up the stairs and the a bit of the landing..
