Kids all fed and homeworks done, boys away to their club so 20 minutes of peace before i have to go get them again..:D
Kitchen is looking spotless and dw has been loaded with the dinner stuff. Wm has done it's last load tonight only one load for tomorrow, just remembered i need to put Rhys's bedding back on, he was soaking this morning. Must remember thats what happens when he sleeps in.....
SS have been and gone, i think the 'case' should be closed next week. She has said that she thinks i cope well and that the kids are always top of my list so she's happy for the case to be closed. She did want to talk to the school but i said no and explained my reasons so i think she's happy enough to speak to the GP, HV and CPN. I'm so glad that meeting is over and hopefully it will be the last...:oSometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Hi Jinky.
Well done mummyroys
Apologies for the lack of talking on my post but keyboard on computer is not working so all i can do is cut and paste the list. At least I have managed to get some stuff done.
Need to have a bath, then wrap up the presents for the children at my school. really want to get them all done tonight.January Grocery 11/3740 -
Hi Jinky x
I have done my own list for the first 2 days as I am going away tomorrow for 9 days. I was determined to be organised with going away so close to Christmas so have got all the Christmas presents although want to get another couple of bits for DH and have wrapped everything I've got. I wrote all the cards last night and DH is posting them for me at the weekend. We had wanted to put the tree up tonight but I would rather spend the time relaxing with DH so he is going to do it while I am away
I should be back on the 16th weather dependant so will join in for the last week of flying before Christmas.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1530/£2700

Done everything apart from wiping remotes and phones today, and the bottom of the stairs hotspot
Bathroom is disgusting but emptied the bin in there today and it's soaking in bleach so have a headstart
That and folding clothes are my priorities for tomorrow. Wrapped 6/9 of DS1's pressies then ran out of wrapping paper and I want them to have all their main presents in the same paper so will pick up another roll next time I'm in poundland hopefully, and then get those done. Still have to get 1 stocking present for DS2, a pressie for a neice, and one for my dad and his girlfriend then I'm done. December is so stressful, and we're not even having Christmas here this year!

phew, off to bed nowGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
Morning All
Awake ridiculously early again today but at least I got a bit more sleep as I was in bed for 8 last night I was so tired. I really want to be sorted for this weekend ready to go away. I'm going to have my haircut straight from work tonight and then I'll be taking DS football training so I won't be home until about 6.30 then, walk the dog, get the kids sorted for bed, oh and I need to eat at some point - kids will have had tea at my mum's - then it will probably be bedtime again.
So I've done nothing on the lists so far this week.
Nice to see some old faces popping in.
Have a good day all
Hugs
