ive done way too much today and suffering now. i went into town with DS2 in buggy after dropping DS1 at school then i came home sorted to loads of washing, stuck one load on and put away pjs and socks etc then i hoovered and hung out a load while i stuck another load on. mum came round and took me to Mr M then walked to school to pick up DS1 with DS2 asleep in buggy, hung out 2nd load (or 4th load if you count like that lol) took in the 1st lot, folded that and put away what i can then i cleaned the bathroom while the kids played in the bath.
as if that wasnt enough i then did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. im done. im going for a bath and very early bed. might be really really naughty and have a crafty ciggie.0 -

After the boys went home I vac'd through downstairs, cleaned downstairs toilet & sink, got the washing in, cooked dinner, & fed the dog.
I need to iron DS a shirt for school tomorrow. I have a couple of childminding friends coming round in the morning (with children), so I won't be flying in the morning. Hopefully they will go at lunchtime so i can catch up then.0 -
Hello ladies, anyone for a shot of Ouzo. Yammas!
I'm back from the holiday/wedding. The bride made the plane, looked stunning and as yet is still pregnant with a teeny tiny bump. I really can't believe she is 4 weeks away from her due date. I'm not allowed to post pictures on FB yet because the English part of the wedding is on Saturday. Both the schools didn't give permission for the event so it is going down as unauthorised absence. I'm very disappointed with the infants school as they had a non pupil day on Friday - perfectly ok for them to close the school 2 weeks into term!
Anyway I have digressed from the important business of flying and as you can probably imagine I have a very big pile of washing to get through! The house is clean and tidy because that's how we left it (smug smilie).
DH has caught some horrible lurgy and is tucked up in bed so if anyone would offer some germ busting vibes they would be appreciated. I don't want my holiday glow snuffed out with a fluish cold!
Congratulations to Pigpen et al - what a little dot she is! Gorgeous!
Thanks to Toots for starting the thread.0
