    Morning, just a flying (lol) visit this morning.

    Getting ready to take DD and her friend to the safari park.

    Congratulations lav1979 - hope you and baby are doing well:A

    Congratulations to our sneaky Greenbee too! You kept that quiet:p

    Just putting a wash on before i go, my work stuff is making the bedroom stinky so needs washed.

    Hope everyone is ok, hugs to those who are not, Onestep, Pigpen, Toots, Lady L and Diva.

    Quick post as my lovely MIL is taking DS3 and DD2 to the church summer club. MIL is furious because she wanted to spend "quality time" with them but as she's not police checked she's not allowed. It's so ridiculous, shes the backbone of the NI, bakes cakes for the mums and babes group in the church and is the nicest lady you could hope to meet.

    I need to get to TKMAXX to take a frock back. It means a bit of trek but needs to be done today as it's the 14th day.

    Off to London for my market research gig at 4. DS1 will have to look after the LO's. DH will be home early as he went off at 6 this morning. He should be home by 6.

    Right better get LO's dressed as MIL is due here in 20 mins!

    Lav - Congratulations. Sounds like you had a bit of a mare so look after yourself.

    I think we have 2 newbies. Welcome YOUNGMUM and WORNOUTMUMOF2 have a christmas tree to be noticed:xmastree:

    I didn't get as much done as i would have liked. Ds2 was helping so everything took longer. He's pretty good though he pegged out all the underwear on the line, helped me unload the dw and put some recyling in the right bags.

    In our HHC we

    Made beds
    Collected laundry
    Put washing out
    Wm x 1
    Unloaded Dw
    Reloaded dw
    Sorted recycling

    I'm going to do another HHC at 9.10 if anyone fancies it?
