Except you should post status updates as you complete each room, Weezl!

And maybe give yourself a score out of ten for each one, based on thoroughness, efficiency and effort.....on a spreadsheet, naturally .

CAFC, sorry because I wasn't thinking much about forums stuff yesterday, but if you'd like a second (third/fifth/twentieth...) pair of eyes to help tweak your CV, you'd be welcome to send it to me, or put it on a FB group, etc to see if there are any worthwhile suggestions? Hope you're ok generally.

Also missing you Susan.

Delain, I'm impressed with your visiting a flat just for fun!, I can't find time/make myself go to viewings even when I'm actively looking...!

Hope Finn is not really very ill, and that Henry's shorter night translates into a sleepy, long-napping baby today rather than a fractious, over-tired grump

Took E swimming again yesterday (two days running! As he was so obsessed) - good fun again, then when we got back he ate: 2.5 weetabix, 2 bowls of rice krispies (each the size of 1-1.5 weetabix), 6 rice cakes with peanut butter, 2 cereal bars and a fruit bar :eek: and it wasn't even his supper time! He repeatedly almost fell asleep while eating but fought it off and had a good long night's sleep instead not really appreciated fully though as for some reason Callie couldn't achieve the same :rolleyes:

Another E+C cuteness:
Callie was sleeping in the afternoon, in her moses basket at the foot of our bed, rather than IN bed (where she has mostly been at night so far). E gets bored of TV and says "Where's baby Callie?", I tell him she is sleeping, so he goes into the bedroom, climbs up onto the end of the bed and starts making his way down it, all the while talking to Callie "Helloooo baby Callie! Are you sleeping? Is baby Callie ok? Where is her blanket? Hello!" etc. Then he gets to the pillow end, peeks round the duvet... and sees no baby. Great concern on his face, "WHERE is baby Callie gone?! Baby Callie is not here? Where is she! Find baby Callie??" til I showed him where her basket he'd just walked past was...
Probably you had to be there. Was cute though

ok 5 tidy

I may have picked the easy 5

next step, tidy 5 more. Then the last 3. Then clean 5, 5, 3

Bruno and GISI, you are cheeky beyond all words. Pah!:p pah to you I say!

Cute ferg story.

After many iterations of being read sam I am, we simply couldn't read it again. Ferg, grabbed the book, sat cross legged on the floor, and began to turn pages. His general demeanour giving off a vibe of 'well, if these peasants won't co-operate I shall have to do it myself!'

'Sam am'

flips page

'sam am'

flips page

'Ham?'

flips page

'no'

flips page

'dare' (here or there)


'no'

etc etc. VVV funny, but perhaps like Bruno said, you had to be there

Awww Bruno that sounds lovely!

Yeah I'm a sucker for it. It would be so convenient to live there no more worries about the twins geting into the school of my choice, an easy walk to town, it is about 2 minutes from the chinese and chippy though so less than ideal for my weight loss aspirations :rotfl:



Although it has been double glazed now!

weezl74

ps Bruno I bet you're wishing you'd discovered the swimming = E sleeping thing a while ago eh? Are you thinking of installing a pool at home now? :rotfl:

ok no posting til 5 more tidy.

Weezl - you have far too many rooms! If I cleaned 5 rooms, that would be the house done except for 1 room.

Same :rotfl:

BrunoM

That's a lovely story Weezl we've had a few similar book occasions.

Not sure about the swimming so much as it's a hassle journey without a car so it'd have been just me at weekends anyway... but would love to make it work more often in the future!

ETA and yes, 13 rooms is no-one to blame but yourself. Unless of course you had 7 daughters to house... *dramatically removes Weezl's mask*

5 more done. I may have cut some corners.

I do blame myself. But at least I am not Sarah Beeny.

Weezl would you like to tidy my rooms now it just needs a general tidy and hoover so not much apart from the mountain of ironing

My step dad has phoned to ask if he can drop the kids presents off as he is in brighton over christmas, my missing BHS parcel has arrived and now im witing on the mothercare garage to arrive and i will have everything delivered!!! no sign of my asda order although im guessing the driver will wait until last as it really is HUGE. I did plan to go and pick up my parcels from M&S and Debenhams but i think that may have to wait until tomorrow.

ETA mothercare order has arrived so we are completed :D:D:D
