Good morning

Need to get my @r$e in gear! Dog has been walked. DD1 & 2 need to go to town and I need to go shopping. We are taking DD1's CV into Pizza Hut (I think they may be hiring students :j) and I need to pay in the art money.

Dog has been bathed! I took him for a swim, then bathed him in the paddling pool. It is cloudy here, but a lot warmer than yesterday. The hall stunk when we got in yesterday, so hopefully the smell will start to go now he is fresher

Right, now to update the art accounts and get the paying in book done.

Morning

I've done the kitchen/diner, the living room and the hallway/stairs. Some washing out on the line, it's grey but milder and dry. Phone calls to make now.

Did you enjoy Peter Kay? We had a great time

Yes, thought he was fab - highlights were the 'sunlounger incident' and the shovel!

presumably that is by fish ! (bit of a fishy theme this morning) Have been fancying a go at a fish pedicure. Let us know how you get on.

I've had a couple of fishy pedicures, I really like them, they make your feet feel all light & refreshed.

Valli - you were going to tell me about the Valliland graves? A pirate & someone with an unfortunate name?

At work at the mo, will fly when I get home. Got loads of ironing done last night tho, it was good to see the back of it.

Love to all...

Hi all

Trying for “in” this week, again, despite time being a tad limited. Many thanks to FCC for lists/encouragement/mules.:o

I've worked out that walking Sidney and getting him to eat his very unexciting food takes up a good two or two and a half hours out of each day. I don't mind though; he's such a lovely little guy. Lol, we got soaked this morning, got halfway round the circuit for his walk and the skies opened! He was ever so good about being toweled down when we got home though.:D

Toots have a good week, whatever you're up to; and take it easy!:o

Froddy GWS!:o

Valli hope the Vallimobile can be fixed without too much hassle/expense.

Mummyyof5 ooh I'd love a chance for one of those fishy pedicure things; I can't abide people touching me, but that I think I'd be fine with; and my feet are so bad just lately, worse than they've been for at least a decade.

ok i'm in, well try to be
whats a Toots list?
please be kind :rotfl:

Welcome! Having skimmed the thread while half-asleep, I didn't notice anyone answer your question, so....
It started off when Toots posted a thundering great long list (about 200 items if memory serves) of things she needed to get done at some point and of course, the general reaction was :eek: "OMG Toots!!". Then of course, loads of us realised that we too had loads of things needing to be done at some point.... hence the Toots List was born.:o

Uropachild I have four children. However my first two came together! They weren't too hard. I had a rigid routine and looking back it would have been easier if I hadn't been trying to do everything by the book. (You know the cotton wool ball per eye and all the topping and tailing)
Baby number three seemed hard work. I couldn't leave him like DS1 and DD1 who had been happy to coo together. Getting about wasn't too hard as I had DS2 in a sling and the other two in a double buggy. Baby number 4 was easier. He was quite independent and was up and walking by around 10 months. Not sure if this was because of copying the others or because by this time we had discovered both DS1 (Never diagnosed) and DS2 (Autism) had special needs and so alot of time was devoted to them.

I always fell pregnant a year after the previous birth (was on pill too!) so I have a 22 month gap between mine. This resulted in 4 children under 4.

Hectic, but worth it!
