Washing would have gone better if I'd switched the machine on at the wall... Starting to flag now, but really do need to get the Hoover out and go round the house quickly.

I've had the phone call i've been waiting on all summer..........DD is allowed to go to the new school :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j she was going anyway no matter what they said.....:rotfl:

So job for tomorrow is to annoy the transport man, he'll love me
Plus i'm away all day tomorrow to my sisters, we're gonna help her get the house ready for baby. Stuff to be unpacked and put away, units to be moved, 2 td's to be shifted, loads to do. I'm looking forward to taking into someone elses house. :rotfl:

Sorry, I'm coming on for a moan. Been away for a couple of weeks and house is looking pretty darned messy. So, arranged for MIL to look after the little ones on Monday as I didn't have to work, and low and behold, my back gives out at the weekend.

Feeling really depressed as it's not getting any better and I feel like a useless piece of !!!!. Trying to carry my 9 month old about, change his nappy, etc is excrutiating. Had a playdate today but cancelled as no way can I get the children in and out of the car, and didn't want to invite them here as it's the pits. Life sucks.

Need hugs and a small miracle!

have some hugs and work out whether there is anyone who would do a few hours cleaning for you in return for cash/babysitting/cake.

The state of my house was really getting me down not long ago, and a lovely friend arranged for her cleaner to come over for a morning. £44 was a bargain TBH as I felt so much better as a result and am managing to keep on top of it... Well, it's not getting much worse, even if it isn't getting better.

One lot of washing in the TD. Another in the WM. Suppose I should check up on them and then work out what to eat with the pills...

sharonr can't supply the miracle but have a (((hug))).

Dog walked again. Diary updated. Train times and information in place to meet greenbee tomorrow. :j (My DMum thinks I might be meeting an internet stalker and 'doesn't approve':mad: I haven't killed her, yet. )

Dinner prepped for DDad. Eggs ready for my dinner. DMum just arrived home so I hope she likes the soup. It's turned into a bit more leek and potato than mixed veg. I like it but it tastes nothing like hers. She can like it or lump it

pigpen

Oooh.. it is 7pm.. I can put the girls to bed!!

You've got me worried now :eek:

Cat - that's why I never tell my mum that kind of thing. Everyone is either someone from Uni who I reconnected with via FB or a friend of a friend who has been put in touch with me. I do sometimes tell her later that I met people via the Internet. Anyone, aren't you the one with the fierce canine protector? Text me when you get on the train so I remember to leave home...

(BTW my mother maybe anti meeting people I've met online, but she also suggested I try Internet dating... )

(((((((((((hugs))))))))))) Sharon, any chance your MIL/hubby can help out in the house? and you're not worthless!! you've injured your back and need help! give yourself a break, you are still trying to do stuff when really you shouldn't be. I'm all for keeping a nice house but sometimes it really does have to take a back seat, your health is far far more important, so try not to sweat it. Delegate as much as you can to your OH, MIL and the kids too if they're old enough xx


I shouldn't be posting as I've done nowt except declutter a 2hr sleep and a visit to OH's.
