Yep, anyone who can cope with three boys deserves a medal, I think the only thing worse would be three teenage girls :eek:

No.. teenage girls are a BREEEEEEZE compared to boys..

LOL sorry!! Baby is boy number three! Evan Lucas, would post a photo but may take me afew days to work it out! Hes perfect at the moment, all he does is eat poo and sleep, wish the other two were that quiet!

Congratulations and snap, I've got 3 boys too. Going from 1 to 2 children seemed quite easy to me, but going from 2 to 3 has been a real shocker!!!! You don't 'arf have to be organised and that's definately not me. I also have to admit that I sometimes forget I've got my third!! I manage to bring him in from the car, but then get involved with the other two and after thinking I forgotten something I realised I've left the little 'un in the kitchen still in his car seat. Luckily (or not) he's got a good set of lungs on him so he soon reminds me he's here. It's amazing how this one just accept all the noise in our crazy household, we spent all our time tip-toeing around our first, there's no chance of that now.

Sorry, gone a bit off topic, I'm still struggling with my junk and the motivation. I think I'll do a 27 thing fling to make it easy on myself today.

Good flinging to all!!!

My friend really struggled with 3.. but I found 2 incredibly difficult but nnumber 3 was a star.. he just fitted right in.. whereas the oldest 2 were a nightmare.. number 1 was constantly in trouble and misbehaving.. number 2 screamed 24/7 for 6 whole months.. then screamed 23/7 for another year.

Must fill a binbag.. race ya!?!

Well we had three girls and they were hard work... but brought a lot of joy

Our eldest daughter has four boys, the middle one has three boys and a girl and the youngest has yet to get started!

When all the boys are tearing about i'm grateful I had all girls!!

But... they're all scrummy just the same

Oh... and so as not to go off topic... I have decluttered a few kitchen cupboards this morning and flung out loads of old crockery and plastic stuff that hasn't seen daylight for years... well, not since the last time I washed it all and put it back in the cupboards again thinking I would use it sometime. lol

pigpen

Well my mother had 3 girls... and I have 5 and they are SO much nicer than the boys... Only they tend to be worse horders than the boys.. the boys seek and destroy so you can fling it in the bin whereas the pinks keep it forever.

I haven't thrown anything out today *shame* But I may have 2 off ebay sales.. hopefully!!!

tattycath

Well. I did some shredding at work today, cleaned top of cooker tonight-then cooked and now it needs cleaning again!!! Then made 2 cakes (to sandwich together) and 1 dozen muffins and 1 dozen buns. Ashamed to say I have done no de cluttering :eek: and am very cross with myself!!!

stampyfoot

You're not the only one tattycath, I haven't done any decluttering or much housework either today. Spent ages finding the best house insurance deal today, I did alright after getting cashback though. Did do some ebaying today as well, now have 15 items all to finish at the weekend, 4 already have bids and some have several watchers. I must sort out turbolister or auctiva for ebaying because I am still doing it the slow way.

Someone is coming to collect an ebay item in the morning so I have just swept the hallway floor, so they don't think I live in a hovel:o My house does need a good clean. I think I'll go and lurk on the flylady thread now and get myself motivated. Have a good wednesday everyone!

tattycath

Hi stampyfoot, good to know it's not just me then!!! lol. I use turbolister at the mo but my OH is trying to encourage me to use auctiva-he says it's even quicker!!! I have been on the flylady thread a couple of weeks ago but I think I need to concentrate on decluttering first so I can see what and where I am actually cleaning-should make the cleaning easier too when there is less stuff to move around!!
Hope you have a good wednesday too.
