I've done nowt all day. Well, was at paid stuff from about 6.30 to 4.15. Collected DS on way home. Sorted kids, just having cuppa. CBA to do anything else.

Tonight when I was getting tots ready for bed, DD was wandering around in the buff for 5min, and she took herself off to the potty and did a little tinkle! What a clever girl! She stood up and shouted "I did it!" lol :T DS went over and shouted "high five".

We need to do the training really, poor lamb. I'm just worried I'm not at my most patient this month with what's going on in my head. I didn't want to start this weekend as I've got a stall at a nearly new sale on Saturday and got heaps to organise. Then next weekend it wil be just days to the anniversary. But maybe it'll be a good distraction? Help!

Never having had kids, I can't help you Bossy Moo, but I suspect the answer is do what feels most comfortable for you and worry about the potty later. (I can give you a few tips on what works with kittens and puppies if that's any help. )

Wendy Witch, honestly, considering the emotional strain of a relationship ending and realising that you've been involved with a cowardly to$$er, I'd say you're doing amazingly well. Pat yourself on the back for what you've achieved. It's more than I'd have done in the same circumstances.

Lamewolf, is there any chance at all that this setback is temporary? I was going to ask you to do a HH with me today, but in the circumstances that felt wrong, so I went and had my hair done and did a bit of essential household shopping instead. I'll do some for you if it would help cheer you up.

Not done too bad today even managed abit of charity stuff.

Kids now all in bed, DS3 was sleeping at 6.45...:j:j:j he's usually still up at 11.30 so fingers crossed he's not coming down with something and that this is a start of a new bedtime. DS2 went down at 7.30 and was sleeping within 5 minutes, DS1 went down at 8.15 and is sleeping and DD is just away down. So nice to have abit of time on my own.

Right i think i'll get my hotwater bottle ready and head to bed. See you all in the morning.

LW gentle hugs sweetie. xx

Hi Everyone, can I join in please?

I've started decluttering my house, so I probably won't be following the lists too much at first....more like just doing my own list until the majority of my decluttering is done

Dustykitten

Welcome Kraftykat - you can follow your own lists for as long as want, ours are only ideas for those lacking a direction. Good luck.

Done the piece of Governor paperwork I have been putting off for ages. A couple of emails next I think.

note to self p 6

bit of flying done at work - holiday/homework projects are coming in and they are AWESOME - I'm very proud of my class!
They needed arranging beautifully; given the amount of work they've done.

Been to see Skyfall - jumped and flinched but WOW!
