    Thanks all, I think it's the right thing to do. And not wearing myself out will make me a much nicer mummy :D

    Bossymoo you are a lovely mummy, its difficult to improve on perfection. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise or the flyladies will be on the case.

    Quite happy with flying tonight, DS still had no nap, he went to sleep just after 7 and is still asleep now.....fingers crossed now he stays down so I can get some sleep

    tomorrow lots of stuff to do....including leaves to the dump before they turn to compost in the boot of my car...very pleased with my declutter under the sink tonight- going to get another two trugs....one for bathroom and a portable one for carrying round the house, and going to go shopping for my winter car bits and bobs, so I can cross all of that stuff off aswell

    hoping my duvet will be dry enough to put back in the bed, and I can put the thin throws back in the wardrobe

    hugs to all that want/need them

    see you again in the morning:D
    The cold never bothered me anyway

  • Morning all, everyone tucked up here by 7.30 last night..:rotfl:feeling loads better for it this morning. Today i'm heading to the big city for charity goodie bags stuff and might have a nosey at some christmas stuff. DD has her club tonight so i'm not holding out much hope of getting flying done.

    Morning all. I took a day off from the flying yesterday (I do most days really!) as I had to ferry DD around and run errands for an aunty.
    Have had a quick skim read, so hugs to all who need them. Please can you send healthy posivibes this way please as DS is having treatment this week and I think he's struggling a bit, not that he'd admit it.

    Right, off for a soak and then the paid stuff. Actually, might quickly hoover downstairs first.

    Have a good day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning!

    A, delaying the cleaning of rugs a little while as
    DD IS IN PANTS!!!
    So far on pair of pants number one, white with pink spots. We have many pairs, and she took her time to choose, lol.
    Wish us luck! Have got the tick chart at the ready...

    I'm going to cheat and take them swimming later this morning. DS thinks its great, he's had 3 wee's already as I said we can have some haribo if we do good :rotfl:
