    Gave the bathroom a good going over. After ignoring the loo for a while I decided the seat had to go. It is wooden and been split underneath for ages which meant it needed a really good scrub, but now has two and the thought of all that wee impregnating the wood was to much to bear so sent hubby out to buy a new one.

    Kids jobs later..

    Empty bathroom, lounge and bedroom bin. Vacuum lounge.

    pigpen thats great news about the builder - fingers crossed he sticks to his word - good to hear Squeak is more comfortable - how is Tabitha? What can you do to help you back - rest?

    Tabitha is now fine and back home.. apparently it is the lorazepan and diazepan they give for the seizing that stops her breathing

    I get Hubby to empty Henry as I suffer really bad with asthma and we can't just chuck the bags as we have to sort through for all the bits the kids vacuumed up.

    Found a number of toys last time as well as a sock and duster.

    Afternoon all

    Just spent a few hours with one of my closest friends who has had some worrying health news and is awaiting a brain scan. Flying is falling into the oh so not important category again.

    getting fed up of all the cooking and cleaning at the moment. I just think back to how little I did when I worked full time pre-kids - 2 hours on a saturday and keeping up with the washing up each night seemed to do it all. Its lovely to be at home with the kids 5 days out of 7 but being in the house seems to make so much work! Off to mop the floor and get out tea started before we're out to the dentists - hope the kids don't freak out this time........
