For all the Mums out there,

I was chatting to DS1 yesterday about when they were younger,(he's 22), and I've discovered that 'Mummy minutes'.

You know the ones,'in a minute', 'just a minute', yep, those...

They cover a time period anywhere between, 'a quarter of an hour to a fortnight'.

Which I thought summed it up lovely...

Have woken up with a stinky cold.

Mr DM actually noticed the difference in the house. He ask if the fairies were coming again, as I have been making the kitchen neat b4
bed and putting breakfast stuff ready etc.

So far bathroom s&s, 1xWM, tidied throws on sofas, wild animal taming (kids),
Off to have hair done, waxing and final dance show rehearsal later.

Good luck ShySarah hope your day goes well.

Shysarah

Thanks everyone, it really is quite overwhelming all your messages of support it goes to show just how many wonderful people there are out there.

I am all ready here so going to sit and enjoy my coffee now

See ya later xxx

AnWs Mum - you shouldnt really encourage me you know.... from now on, everyone in this house has to eat straight out of the pot with no cutlery and drink water straight from the tap....or milk out of the carton, whichever :rotfl:

:rotfl:Now that is taking it to a NEW level :T think we will have to go down that route

Well it's Monday but by eck these weeks pass quickly before we know it it'll be Friday!

Good luck Sarah, you'll be home before you know it.

it's still very hard - it's going to take time to work things through. Assuming i don't book him a one-way trip to siberia instead of the travel I've been trying to sort out....

Hugs for you, Siberia sounds like a plan.

Morning all. Gentle dot to dotting for me today.

Good luck today ShySarah x

No news about the cat yet, but I'm thinking no news = good news

I'm going out for the morning with my sis for some retail therapy so won't get any flying done, but have decluttered one child to school and about to declutter two more. Will look at the list and do some more from it this afternoon - I should be home by 12.

Have a good day, lovlies

Good morning everyone,
Got to fly today as we have visitors arriving tomorrow for the weekend and I'm working tomorrow.

Dippypud - you just reminded me that DS told me when he was about the same age that he'd thought there were two different five minutes - a short five minutes and a long five minutes - I could have ruined his time management abilities for life :eek: :rotfl:
I still have so much carp everywhere that it makes flying very difficult.
Hug to those who want or need, Silver x

Good morning, from the home of my in-laws No Flying for me today, but I'll update my list with what I did yesterday

Just went into the bathroom for a shower and found nephew here brushing his teeth - why didn;t he do that at his own house *shruggy man smilie*

We had "in a minute", "soon" and "one day" (which in the case of pet puppy, kitten, tortoise, pony, dinosaur, they're still waiting for :rotfl: Evil mummy )
