    I've finally cleaned the shower room whilst running scans on the lappie. Just going to clean the kitchen sink and then do a bit of knitting before bed.

    Hi I am new, I like the lists, will be useful for my disorganised existance. Hi to all.

    :xmastree:Welcome and here is a tree for ya.

    Can't believe it's Wednesday again. Where are the weeks going.

    Hubby has an appointment at 10.30, boys have dentist at 3.40 Rhys has to get his tooth checked to. Washing all done for now so the wm can have a break. DW will go on once kids are fed. My lovely clean and tidy front hall will need redone today, kids decided to build a space rocket out of the hoover box and brought up about every toy in their rooms.
    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.
    :j :j

    Morning,

    Planning on doing the downstairs floors once I've taken DS1 to school, and then the bathroom this afternoon. It needs doing it's a bit pongy in there. I don't feel great today tbh. I went to bed at 11, which is early for me as I felt a bit flu-ey, fell straight to sleep then OH woke me 10 minutes later :mad: fell straight back off though, but he woke me again at 1.30, then the baby had a cough at 3, and DS1 came in at 4. OH goes to work at about 5.30, then he sends me a text at 20 past 6 which woke me and DS1 up. So despite the earlyish night I've probably had less sleep than usual :wall:

    So, yeah, I feel blah. Better go and get myself and kidlets dressed or I'll be walking to school in my dressing gown.

    Hope everyone else is well x
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy


    WW 37lb (2 STONE 9lbs! :j ) lost since July, 11tybillion to go...
  • Good morning everyone, I hope all are well. Good wishes to those not so well.
