    Morning All

    I need to wash some dishes and hoover round at least before my mum comes to baby sit tonight but I shall probably get home about 3 then have to go out and pick the kids up at 4 and then I'm out between 4.30 and 6.30 at football and my mum's coming at 7.15 so I haven't got a lot of time.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    Thanks dusty, the session went ok actually. Feeling alright about things this week.

    Seafarer, not sure what kind of bedtime routine you have, but when dd was about that age, my mum babysat for us. DD woke for her late evening feed, and they were enjoying so much that she kept her up for about an hour. She was wriggling on her playmat when I returned. I put her to bed, and we went too. Next thing I know it's 7am (I panicked and thought something awful had happened) she was still asleep! Usually I'd be up at 4 with her! We tried it a few times and it seemed to work. Eventually I put her down 5min earlier but she kept the habit of sleeping through.

    Might be worth a try?

    Anyway, just basics here but were are ship shape from a few weeks of flying and a few months of decluttering.
    Work today...

    Morning all!

    Just got the dailies done yesterday, things are still looking good though - seemingly as the house is now tidier dog no 2 can't get to wreck as much stuff (if anything) and he seems much calmer as a result? Coincidence perhaps? I don't care, we are all seeing the benefit!

    I should be able to get some of the list done tonight (as I've not done much from the others) and the bathroom can always do with a bit of help! OH is very good too, as the house has been getting (gradually) tidier he is putting more stuff away and wielding the microfibre cloths too! I just have to remember things didn't get this way overnight so it will take a while to be 100% pristine - if ever, with 2 dogs!

    Good luck today Drea, will be thinking of you! Happy flying everyone - make use of the good weather as the forecast for the weekend is grim (here, anyway) :( Best I get that load out on the line!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
    :heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:
    :p I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy! :p

    Morning all, i didn't manage much flying yesterday but we did get one side of the polytunnel done..:j:j:j Plus got loads of seeds which i need to start planting today.

    DD is up and will be back at school, DS1 will be back to school as well. DS2 was sick through the night so have a bit of washing to get done today. Rhys has been in with us the last few night so i want to get his wee light up above his bed and get him moved back to his own bed tonight.

    Embb thats brilliant news, hope the move goes smoothly today.

    Right i better get shifting...
    Sometimes 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.
