you and me both - as a mum you either go to the loo every time you pass one......or you end up waiting with crossed legs for what seems like ages.........:o

so make sure you do some pelvic floor exercises!;);););)

I must start these...my bladder control is slipping! At the moment I pretty much go to every loo I pass too!

I slept much better knowing I didn't have to rush up, though DH then set the alarm for 7.30 but didn't get up 'til 8.15 :mad: I have got up, had breakfast and phone work, done a quick email and put out of office on and now I might go back for a sleep. Plan for today is not much at all, maybe a wander up the high st later and something in the fridge whiffs!

It's meant to be 27 deg c here today! where's the fan?!

Vomiting child is still vomiting He is keeping fluids down and you think he's finally over it and then he'll just vomit, everywhere, all over again. He's not dehydrated, he is subdued and lethargic. Poor little mite Not getting very far with the flying this week. There are four loads of washing on the line and one in the machine though, not because of vomiting child, but darling eldest is back from four days at PGL with mount washmore. Never rains eh?!

:rotfl::rotfl: This is exactly what I do.

Glad I'm not the only one. The person I usually collaborate with is on leave, so I've got no one to bounce ideas off so I'm hoping I can go back and look at what I did yesterday and make the decisions on my own!

I also have to S&S the whole house by 6pm as a friend is coming over for a cupcake decorating lesson... and I have to do some laundry too... where does all the time go?

Grrrr.. I have just found my recycling bin abandoned in the middle of the street. My OH put it in front of the gate this morning. I presume the recycling wagon has been round and decided it is too heavy to lift and just dumped it in the middle of the road still full. They don't come for another month now so I am going to have to empty half of it and take it to the recycling bank instead.

Call you council and complaiin. They need to know if the contractors aren't doing the job they're paid to do. Tell them you'll have to put your recycling in your main bin for the next month - that might wake them up

Talking of which, I MUST go to both the bottle bank and the tip today or tomorrow. I need to get rid of the clutter in the house and garden.

OK... back to pretending to work

prettypennies - phone the council but you might need to hassle to be put through to the waste team rather than just the call centre! If that doesn't work phone your councillor. I had loads of probs with similar things til the councillor got involved....

in fact have just had email from said councillor following up on a members' enquiry I asked him to raise because my council won't help with reusable nappies! He has followed it up with the officer and now is following up with the lead member! this is what democracy is about!!

Thank you for the very warm welcome!
After finding the thread yesterday I then spent the day at the Bath & West with the children from my school ... maypoling! So not a lot done. I have decided to start the list when I begin a new week, but for today my jobs are
1. Iron the pile in the basket
2. Clean out the fridge
3. Return shoes that don't fit
4. Back up my computer so precious things are safe
5. Change the beds
6. Cook a quiche with real home made pastry
....... and read my book in the garden with a cup of tea!

May start at the end and work up!!
