Listy update.....

Thursday ~ Childrens Rooms and Land of Spare Oom
Level One
Chomp a frog Reply to H's email, which has been sitting in my inbox since Monday.Done - took an absolute age, as it was l-o-n-g and needed each individual point replying to without committing myself to more than I'm prepared to do. I'm not exactly the world's best at saying "No" to people.:(
Minor leftover from yesterday – put thick loo stuff with limescale remover round the loo. Pointless doing it when Mr LW's wfh, as he'll immediately use (and therefore flush) the loo, whereas the stuff is best left on for a few hours before flushing. Done

Happy Birthday to Squeak and SSL and Serena's DS

Mr LW is on late shift today; I hope he doesn't get any last-minute stuff dumped on him.:o

Louie's been out for another walk, in between the showers.:D

Dorastar

Hmmm not flown much today but have been for an early morning run/walk and not died which is progress! Had a friend round with her icklie for play and doughnuts so am all slobbed out now. Back to it tomorrow honest guv:o

Found this on holiday. I think feeding frogs tequila would make them much more palatable :rotfl::rotfl:

Happy birthday for SSL, Squeak and serena's DS1!
Happy birthday for any I missed since Sunday night too :beer:

A nice man came and fixed the camp site wifi today which we've managed to access free again...it makes you think you need to log in but the 'free trial' it links to lasts forty days knickers to paying £5 a day plus site fees

Anyway I've cleaned out 3 cupboards this afternoon and need to clean the whole caravan out while we're away. I've specifically booked to stay this weekend while DP is at home/work to get it done, so I'll be joining you in my own special way. My bedrooms, living room, dining room and bathroom is in a 21x7ft long box plus an 17ftx6ft tent (awning) this week so cheating it might seem but all the storage needs emptying, cleaning out and replacing (better organised) within that space which is why gutting is once a year!

Hope you're all well, off for a mooch online while the boys are fishing (another parent watching them)

Oh I've found the 'why am I so disorganised?' book and I've been reading it!!

Toots.. but I want to go out.. I havent been out of the door (other than to his chuffing mothers) for about 6 weeks and I am going stark staring mad!!! I just feel so darn useless... so Im going to go move some beds lol...

now just stop that right now - you are not useless by any means - maybe you feel down because you cant get out but that is different.
since you have no kiddies this weekend why dont you OH and squeak drive somewhere nice like a park - with level ground - and have a wander - at your pace - there will be seats and even if you just go from seat to seat you will be out - or wander down to the post office and get OH to pick you up with sqeak and then go for a wee outing - do something nice instead of decorating/ cleaning/ cooking/ gardening/washing - have some of the precious child free time (well except squeak) doing something non house related!!!
At the risk of being throttled what about going somewhere where you can get the use of a mobility scooter - or is that beneath the dignity of HRH:rotfl: it would let you get out and lessen the pain.

is there not some nice gardens that you could visit? I know its maybe a bit dull and boring but it wouldnt be strenuous or a nice pub that has gardens where you can have lunch out - or make up a picnic for you 3 and go to a park with ducks and feed them - squeak would love that.:D

ETA how are your Sis and Tabstick doing?

I have 4 children this weekend.. and the 2 girls are home saturday. Im not without children until the weekend after.

Id LOVE a mobility scooter TBH.. I have cabin fever sitting in here it is driving me insane.. OH had to go to Sainsbugs yesterday just to get out of the house for a bit as he too was climbing the walls.

I have to empty the boys room and DD2s room and clear the back rom before next Thursday when the new windows go in too.. it is never ending at the moment.. but once the windows are done I am concentrating on getting the baby stuff ready and sorting school stuff and being in pain lol.

I have suggested he contacts a friend with a small boy and we meet up halfway and to play on the beach and have dinner somewhere.. but getting him to do anything is difficult and requires rockets!

my sis is doing good.. Tabs had an MRI done a few weeks ago and has some brain injury from the lack of oxygen at birth but her development is absolutely fine at the moment other than the seizures so hopefully there wont be any lasting affects.. her physical development is fine so no sign of cerebral palsy so that is all a relief. They dont know though if the convulsions will become epilepsy in time but at the moment it is all insignificant.

thank you xxx
