  • Morning flyfriends

    We are all up and dressed before midday, first time since the schools broke up i think! I'm just pottering about till my cousin gets here to pick me up. so far I have decluttered OH and DS1 to work, WM x2, TD, had a wee tidy round and put washing in the basket. OH has DDs booster seat in his car which is at work:mad: so I had to go into THAT cupboard in my room to get the spare, I closed to the door quickly though so nothing fell out:rotfl:

    Really in need of some motivation. I feel really tired and house is a tip despite getting off to a really good start this week. It's amazing the havoc 3 children can create. I feel as though I am constantly going around in circles and I can't catch up.
    1 load of washing on line. 1 load in machine. Son on his 3rd pair of trousers so far today, daughter on her second. I will never catch up!

    Shattered already today, got very little sleep with DS3 and poor DH first night home and he is in DS3's bed within 10 minutes.

    GP not sure if it is SF or viral but has given ABs just in case. Usually I don't do just in case but I am this time because of the risk of RF. He has eaten now and his temp is down at the moment so he's feeling brighter.

    DS1&2 both at work so planning a cuppa, a HHC and then I'll sit with DS3 most of the afternoon watching tv or playing board games.

    hope he's feeling better soon Dusty...

    Just finishing off the packing....... DD1 quite stressed - she hasn't been away overnight for 6 years...

    If anyone has any spare posi-vibes of the coping variety then I would welcome them between 12.00 and about 4pm tomorrow as I try to navigate myself and 2 girls to a part of London I am unfamiliar with...

    Note to self p 15

    Hello all

    Some of you might remember I gave my friend vouchers for bathroom cleans for xmas - well she just claimed her first.

    took 2 hours - because I decided t wash the (tiled) walls down and scrub out the shower cubicle with neat bleach.

    I think 4 vouchers might have been over-generous :rotfl:
    I did take all my own stuff inc mop and bucket and cloths too

    happy Birthday BODDYHSthbdayparty-1.gif


    right - caught up with thread, only Lamewolf posting so I will add to this but

    LAMEWOLF _
    what's that 'thing' (ceremony? occasion?) please..

    going to clean the LR because no-one's in there - first job - gerbils
