You must have been 8x more wicked, although i reckon if i count the cats as being as much trouble as 1 child, then perhaps only 4x more wicked. Hope someone gave you a big KICK!!!! to get you going.
Michelle, x

Ah.. but I have 2 cats and 2 rabbits as well.. and the husband is worse than ALL the children, cats, rabbits and my mother!! lol

I don't think anyone gave me a kick.. certainly didn't work if they did!!

I have posted my ebay stuff though now I can actually get online to find their addresses so I did fling one bag of stuff into the post office.. another bag gone!

Sorry susy, it's tomorrows list anyway. The regulars like it up the day before so they can see what is on the list, what they can fit in etc, some sneaky devils like to get a head start of course, some print it out the day before as only have limited internet access. Various reasons. It does seems a little scary posting it early but it's either that or midday tomorrow if I don't get back early enough tonight as I'm at an appointment all morning tomorrow with DS1, rarely get chance to post before 9am as getting boys ready for school etc.

Just remembered DP on crutches, looks like I am bathing kids aswell tonight before I leave, then I know it's done.

Pigpen, if you need a kick just ask, I'll borrow DPs size 14 work boots :rotfl:

Sorry lil_me, you must be so disappointed. Write lots of pleasant, polite and stern letters asking for compensation for your lost time etc and don't take no for an answer!!! I mean it. Complain until you get what you want. I honestly don't believe that we should let big companies get away with shoddy service - if it's not good enough, they should pay! :mad:

Well, it's a good job I finished my list so early today. A friend rang up and asked if I could watch her two boys for two hours while she popped into work. Four and a half hours later she finally returned! Am not impressed. For goodness sake, I'm due to give birth in under 2 weeks, I can only just manage to keep an eye on my own boy (her two make mine look like an angel). Will not be helping again. Rant over, new rant below.

Rang my Dr this morning as I'm due an appointment with the midwife. Was informed that the soonest she could see me would be the 21st of may! I'm due on the 6th, so what the heck am I supposed to do? We still need to make all of the arrangements for my home birth. I haven't had a delivery pack dropped off and I haven't even been told the name of the person who'll be delivering the baby. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude, but I like to know someone's name before they put their hand on my nethers! :rotfl:

Have to get on with dinner now, then go and visit MIL and FIL with small boy. There's nothing like getting the chance to put our feet up while you're pregnant - and this really is nothing like getting the chance to put your feet up :rotfl:

Keep smiling and flying high. x

Lil_me.. I need a BIG KICK... I haven't done a flipping thing since Wednesday.. now I have 2 icky chuckers so I have excess washing and I haven't even done that!! I am meant to be at college tomorrow but am hoping I can get out of it.. well I can't go if the chiblies are ill can I??

Afternoon, thanks to everyone for you hugs and thoughts - it means alot. Went to the funeral, it was fine but didn't go in as had baby so stood about in rain, went into the hall next door for the tea and sandwichs bit after but left as didn't want baby passing around (I know its mean but all the oldies want to kiss him and who knows what germs they have - quite obsessive but ). DH has had a quick cuppa and dashed back to work bless him and now won't be home till late so putting baby down again by myself.

Rach - beautiful ring, very clear diamonds!;)
Well done to everyone with their lists - its all very impressive:p
Anyway, really need to shake this depressing mood and get going:mad: ! Baby is having a snooze so will crack on or have another cuppa. Have a viewer tomorrow:j so got some jobs to do.

[STRIKE]Clean floors - will clean before bed as its raining and the dogs keeping getting dirty, then will just need a quick wipe tomorrow - did kitchen as it was annoying me, also scrubbed hall floor whilst baby was happy playing - the muck!
Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
Wipe window sill, clean any marks off window if required
Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe dining table (clean table cloth if necessary)
Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front
Clean microwave
Clean cupboard door fronts and the front of appliances - did today
Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky - did yesterday, stardroped my whites and it made a mess![/STRIKE]
Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week - want to wipe it later after I've done jacket potatoes - not using it now so will ignore this as its fine really
[STRIKE]27 fling boogie, grab a bag and clear that clutter! - will tackle paper rack thingie[/STRIKE]

Plus [STRIKE]daily list [/STRIKE]- done 10 (DH does some before work) [STRIKE]just need to make beds and tidy rooms, feed dogs (turned their noses up at dry food, fetch meat), hoover downstairs and mop, make chilli in SC and do 1 load of ironing from yesterday[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Aldi shop[/STRIKE]
Funeral - done but don't want to cross off
Hoover upstairs (not been done all weekend and need to stay on top of it) -will do when baby is up and just needs whizzing over tomorrow - will just do tomorrow once instead of twice

Right, will have a cuppa, play with muchkin when he's up and then tackle bed time and want to get ironing, 27 fling boogie and hoover before DH comes home and then can treat myself to a glass of wine with tea. Before bed we need to take out sofas for delivery, will clean in the morning - good job its lounge day. Will pop back later with tomorrows list x

Maralum.. that is disgraceful.. if you ring the maternity unit they should be able to put you in touch with the MW.. and she should be doing your visits at home now anyway.. I've never seen my GP when I've been pregnant with any of mine!.. mind you 4 of them I never saw a MW either.. I'd be on the phone kicking up such a fuss!! you shlould have had the birth pack delivered last week!!! .. and as for 'free childcare' .. the word you need to learn is NO!!! ... think of yourself for once!.. Hope all gets sorted soon.. I hate things being 'last minute' .. (hence I had all my lot between 32 and 37 weeks)

lil_me

Right Pigpen, enough is enough, get that washing in at least KICK!!!

Maralum, your friend certainly doesn't sound like a good one, no way would I ask a pregnant friend to look after my boys, no matter how far on they were! As for the birth pack, sure Pigpen is right, time for you to kick up a stink with that one!

Tracy well done, with all you had on today you've done well.

this_is_it

just waiting for tea to finish cooking got kids to help each other to make their beds and dd1 is meant to be hoovering her room not heard the hoover yet.
lil_me thats bad about your fridge freezer must be really frustrating perhaps it happened for a reason thats what i always say to myself if things don't turn out the way they should and like you said you can get things finished before it comes.
anyway will make a quick start with 27 fling boogie while waiting for tea
will be back later.
