    Busy morning here, DS2 in for an appointment at 9.20, it's MIL's birthday and doctors appointment at 4.30.:eek:

    DS2 still not well but was fine when he was off school but as soon as he went back yesterday is was a sore tummy. (confused)

    Right best get bins down so i can refill them again. Kids rooms aren't too bad, bathroom really needs done and i've loads yet to get on with on my list.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Have you spoken to his teacher? Is there something that's bothering him there, and he'd really rather be home with you. How old is he, btw?

    Both children off. DD will be at the cinema before us, so she's getting the tickets, booking a table at Pizza Express, and buying me some peppercorns :T

    Going to crack on - HHC 09:00 - 09:30; HHP 09:30 - 10:00; HHI 10:00 - 10:30. Join me in one or all :j

    hellyboo :rotfl: at the story. You are allowed to vent here - even though some Flyladies have major issues your problems are still your problems and we don't judge on severity IYSWIM (I know what I mean but I don't seem to be able to string a lucid sentence together)

    Which reminds me to send spoons and love to Toots, Lady Liberty, Diva and MSGnomey (who's username is beyond me to properly remember!), who will be stressing no doubt atm...work is NOT a priority hun YOU are!

    anyway...off I go!

    ETA Free listing this weekend on e bay (again!)

    So Rach was right! That's how I had DS!

    :wave:Just quickly popping in to say 'Hello', especially to Toots :hello:

    We seem to be lurching from one problem to another here so I have had to give up on flying earlier this week.

    I have the whole of downstairs to sort out PDQ as we have guests tomorrow and I would at least like to make it 'toddler proof'!
