    Off list today, and mostly maintaining. Wmx2 and boy this white-vinegar-not-fabric-conditioner thing is amazing! I don't think anything needs ironing!

    Am a bit :yuk: about DD and reintroducing milk. She was out with mil this morning, so haven't tried her till this aft. She had mashed pots with her dinner, made with a bit of butter, not lots, and no milk. Plus a small banana muffin, which was an oil recipe but did add a splash of milk. Not lots.
    She had one nappy an hour later, which wasn't too bad, but then another after another hour that can only be described as toxic. She seems happy enough, and she's having oatmilk for bedtime, so hopefully it won't disrupt her sleep. I'll keep trying for a few days but will stop if the nappies continue.

    Sorry for the TMI.

    Anyway, kitchen sorted, told tots we can't go to the hotel tomorrow until they have done tidy time toys. They both said no, so I explained that if we were late setting off because they had to tidy in the morning, we wouldn't have time for a swim. That did the trick! They both helped, well the eldest did most of it himself actually, and conservatory looks very neat now!

    So we're all done down here, and just a few books and clothes to put away upstairs...

    Won't be around much this weekend as going to Chester Zoo, staying over Fri and zoo on Saturday, then over to my brothers rented cottage on sun.

    It's my birthday on Saturday, but have told people I'm not celebrating. It will be my first without dh, and I would rather pretend it's not happening. My friends always club together for each others birthdays, and I asked them to donate mine to the hospice. It's enough to fund a counselling session for someone who's just lost a loved one.

    Hopefully our busy weekend wil make it fly by unnoticed!

    Ex's parents have asked if they can come down on Saturday to see DD... :eek: They're fussing like mad over her via text and post so if a visit will calm them down and reassure them she's fine then so be it. Only problem is the last time I saw them I told them to F*** off :o Granted that was just a few weeks after Ex and I split so about 4 or 5 years ago (I just know DD was in infants) and they were 'trying to help' and it was years of frustration finally let loose but still, awkward is an understatement! DD won't be up to going out with Ex like she usually does as she can just about manage a couple of laps of downstairs on her crutches (about 5 min in total) before going wobbly so I've said I'll set the DVD and wii up and go out to work/shops so he can still see her. Then his parents can come down and see her too while ex is still here and he's agreed to stay until they've gone :) So now I've got even more reason to complete the list! ;)

    DD is currently in her bed watching a DVD so I'm going to tackle some stuff in the livingroom until it finishes, then I'll go give her some meds, put her down the bed (she's going to try sleeping more horizontal tonight :) ) and then tackle some of the ironing pile. As long as the place is vacuumed, dusted and tidy I'm not too worried :D

    If its gone its done or not applicable! (crossed out is me editing as I do jobs so I can see whats left without reposting :p)

    Thurdays personal jobs:
    DD's meds (2.45pm-ish, I'll see if she's okay until 3pm) - she asked to skip them as her pain wasn't even at 1/10 :D:j 9pm-ish dose instead for her to get her through the night.
    Wash up - back on the list after tea.
    Ironing
    Laundry
    Pack bag for tomorrow
    Charge iphones, DS & laptop fully.
    Bath DD again before bed (trying to combat the heat/sweat rash) - wash down after her DVD has finished.
    Letters for DDs new school
    Notes to go out to customers prepared along with books, details about deliveries to be added when I know whats happening!

    eldest DS has already persuaded me he can have two friends to stay tonight and its youngest DDs 20th on sunday so they are round for tea and i need to make a cake.
