Evening all!

LW - well done you for coming to the rescue and getting the meds! Hope Mr LW makes a speedy recovery.

Valli - from the same place? How did you manage that, lol x

Well, am hoping for a peaceful night. Tots had a loooong sleep this aft so let them play out till 7 then bath as they are lathered in sunscreen lol. So they've only just gone to sleep, after a lot of fresh air today!

Tonight I've realised I have a bit of organising to do. But I've been very good at avoiding jobs all day, and just chilled (sweated) in the garden with the kiddies. I need to:
Cover or put away garden toys for the night, we'll use them again tomorrow
Pack weekend bags, tots to grannies again, poor mil she hasn't had a weekend off in ages! And I'm going to a spa! Got my mini case down from loft earlier, hurrah!
Need to de - and - re polish toenails. Possibly do a little fake tan on my legs...
Check what cables I need for new (to me) blu ray player. Think it needs hdmi cables? Could purchase some on way home from dropping kids off tomorrow aft.
Quick kitchen tidy, wash up after dinner etc.

Think I'll start at the bottom and work my way up, and finish with a cup of tea.

Catch ya later!

Babies stuff packed for the visit to his family.. enough for about 3 months for normal children! Mine is done.. with extra shoes..

Beasts in bed.. bath and flea check tomorrow as Jacob was hopping again apparently.. thanks for telling me a week later DS1!! ggrrrr

Dot is screaming the house down every time I leave the room and it is driving me crazy.. OH is in here so it isn't like she is alone!

Pile of clothes/bedding put away in Squeaks room..

I ordered some large storage boxes to stuff stuffed toys in the loft.. and sort through the baby clothes. I got clip on lights for the babies in the back of the car when we are driving in the dark.. Squeak hates the dark she has only just started going to bed without a light on in her room. I got dummies for Samuel and socks for Dot and a booster seat for Squeak so she can sit at the big girls table when we are not at home. toys for swimming/bath time and a few other useless bits... .. no wonder I am always skint!

I need to get a frio cool bag for DS3's insulin and a new seat wedge for Moomin for school.. they are my next purchases.

Bill paying day tomorrow and DS3 and Squeak are at hopticians!

I need to sort some Next returns too.

ARGH!!! I don't want to go to his family.. I want to stay home and see if I can make it habitable.. why does he make me feel so guilty about it!?

Fabian is doing really well.. 90% breastfed now and growing into newborn sized stuff.. he is due today!!

Samuel is really poorly, he lost 100g apparently so DD1 thinks it is her fault. He has a nasty cough and keeps being sick so he is forever hungry so DD1 is miserable.. tbh I think she needs to get out more.. I am going to get her some vitamin tablets see if they perk her up a bit. She has been ill for about 5 weeks with a bad chest, not helped by the bleed after Samuel arrived.. she'll survive, she is just on her own a lot so a bit down.

Thanks for asking xx

Goodintentions

Aww, poor dd1, it's so hard those first few weeks (and months and years, lol). What about one of those vitamin tonics? I just had some I think called metatone? Maybe she's a bit anaemic if she lost a lot? Spatone, I think is the same brand, and is a liquid iron supplement, I took it when pregnant with DS, just squeeze a sachet into some orange juice...

I was lucky with DS he was a dream of a baby, but little moo was horrible, with her milk intolerance. Felt like nothing I did was right, felt she hated me. Of course once we knew what it was, it was fixed (then of course the guilt about stopping bf) and things got load better.

Anyway, hope she picks up soon, and the little one (bigger little one, lol).

I think she might be a bit anaemic too.. she lost 2.5litres and had 3 units put back and was ok for the first week but has been gradually flagging since. I will trot myself to Boots tomorrow when we are out to hopticians.
