:eek::eek::eek: don't tell me things like this :eek::eek: i hope they were small buildings? Made out of lego perhaps?? :eek: My eldest used to climb on the shed roof all the time, little monster lol I used to have a heart attack every time thinking he was going to fall through the decrepit thing! :rotfl:ds2 is most definitely following in his footsteps :eek:

How did day 1 of flying go today DFW? I've given up for the rest of the evening now as I'm pooped, have been non-stop cooking and cleaning all day, my fingers are wrinkly.

Enjoy the wine, you've deserved it after the day you've had x

My tenant has paid £250 :T so i've transferred it over to emergency funds and isa funds :T both are looking quite healthy now and I have made my first target on the emergency funds. Aiming for £3,000 now which is half way to where i'd love it to be! Right am finally getting off my butt now and getting that wine!

Yay to wine, yay to tenant finally paying (must almost be rent-due again time), yay to all the tasks you achieved today I wasn't sure if cleaning the doors was the kitchen door or the cupboard door, my kitchen door is wood so I did all the cupboards with a damp cloth instead I wonder which room we shall get tomorrow...

debtfreewannabe321

If it's the bedrooms i'll be in for an easy ride as I hoovered, polished & put all the clothes away today I also changed all the bedsheets on all 4 beds

Morning! :beer: Kids are back at school and I survived the school run with 5 children in tow :T I very nearly lost one (one of mine thankfully- or not:think:) when ds2 decided to hide in a bush, he thought it was hide-and-seek time even though he failed to tell anyone else that he was playing it :doh:. DD & Child 2 that I child mind are the same age but in different classes so I saw them two off first and thankfully the teachers came out to collect them so I didn't need to get lost in the school finding classrooms that joy will now be reserved for pick up time instead :rotfl:. Child 1 who is 9 found her own way to the junior school (next door) and ran off with friends, she wouldn't let me see her in parent's and childminders are far too un-cool for 9 year olds :rotfl:. I then had to wait around for half hour for ds2 and child 3 to go in. Thankfully the same class and the time went quick. I was most put out when ds2 didn't even glance backwards never mind give mummy a kiss goodbye I very nearly cried on the spot!

Back home and only have until 12pm as it's half days this week for the smaller 2. I've put on the washing machine, DW, and am making pizza dough for HM pizza later *fingers crossed* it turns out ok unlike my fruit loaf last night :rotfl: I did remember to put the blade in this time though . I've also made some potato salad & finger salad for the kids for dinner. Plans now are to :
10.30 have some toast,
11.00 take the dog for a quick walk,
12.00 pick up kids,
12.15 take kids to zoo with their pack lunch,
15:10 go back to school to pick up other 3 kids,
15:30 go to park (notice how i'm avoiding my house as much as possible when I have kids in tow),
16:30 go home make pizza, feed kids,
17:10 read with each child, throw others out in garden on toys/trampoline/bikes OR let them play with toys in front room whilst each child has their 5 mins reading time.
18:00 pick up time :j
They've already tried the bedrooms for size this morning and I have to say they put all the toys away :eek: I nearly died on the spot. It certainly couldn't have been my kids to tidy them away they don't understand what 'tidy' means :eek: I hope I survive the day and that it goes to plan
