I've got a bit of a hangover this morning, but a happy DH. As a reward for me paying him some attention, and giving him a bacon buttie this morning, he has gone on a cleaning mission. I washed up and sorted baby stuff out. He fed the baby, and then he has voluntarily took out the compost and recycling, and is currently hoovering my whole house.
Don't know what has got into him today. He's normally helpful, but this is beyond normal.
I'm not complaining at all, and enjoying the peace while the baby is asleep.cha97michelle wrote:

I thought the list would take most of the day, and perhaps not all get achieved, but it's definitely easier with 2 people doing it.
Hope you are all having a nice weekend with your families. I'm glad to see all the 'naughty children' stories have been about little girls, or i would be feeling very aprehensive about what jinks the baby might get up to as he grows.
Michelle, x0 -
Morning Becca
I would be more than happy to send you over some stardrops. I bought quite a few bottles when I started 'flying'!!! In fact you would be doing me a favour and giving me more space under my sink!!! Just PM me with your contact details. Hope that everyone has a great weekend! JoJo x0 -
Just for Michelle!!
My oldest son used to suck dogs noses and garden snails. He brought a dead mouse into the house one time and waited until all its flesh had rotted away so he could look at its bones!!!
My middle son is 11 and STILL has a dressing up fetish. He wore wellies day and night until he was 5, he had permanent welly rings round his legs for months. And he was circumcised.. TWICE! He also is the one with the most problematic special needs.
The youngest one has a 'fiddling' habit (in his pants) he asked the HV is she wanted a feel because it feels nice :eek: He pee'd in the kitchen bin frequently! He wore nappies for bed until he was 6.5!!! He has Aspergers!! He used to eat dead slugs! He peels wallpaper and picks holes in the walls.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
