Hopefully my new changing bag will turn up this week at some point, I didn't realise that the delivery was 5-10 days when I ordered it.:o

lindsaygalaxy, I'm dreading it when I don't have OH to help me.

Lolly, make sure they check your iron levels as this can make you really tired, I was on 3 iron tablets a day.

Hello everyone, I thought I should post before we go away. Just a couple of nights on a sun holiday, even though its predicted to rain all weekend i'm quite excited to be having a break from the norm. Most of the weeks washing is now done, but still got a lot to get ready by tomorrow lunchtime! However, the house is now tidy and pretty clean.
Need to -
iron clothes (to take away)
Iron PJs for DD red nose day at school tomorrow
Ice cakes for RNS cake sale at DD school.
Iron work clothes for OH & me for next week (dont wanna do it monday when getting back
Order shoppping online for monday evening
Iron school and nursery clothes for kids.

Mysk_girl, I dread every years MOT, and havent had it serviced for nearly 3 years after the last one costing me nearly £500 (its only worth just over that now!)

that garden looks a mission and a half mysk_girl

enjoy your Holiday lindsaygalaxy where abouts are you off too?

Childminder is sunning herself somewhere lovely at the moment so I'm at home with the kids. Think I might take them to the play centre later on but at the moment it's chucking it down with rain so I might try and persuade them to have a messy painty day at home instead.

So far today I've emptied my penny pot and taken £130 for banking for our holiday with about £15 gone back in it. Can you believe I had 99p in 1ps and couldn't find another 1p ANYWHERE!!!!!!

I have just discovered "sticky notes" for Windows 7. so no more flylady lists on my phone's version I can now have them all over my computer desktop :0)

Hello everyone

I was expecting a load of posts to catch up on, but only a few!

We just went for a weekend to the cotswolds (sun holiday). The caravan was FREEZING but the kids had a good time. Spent way too much money on eating out though Been really good recently though so was a bit naughty.

Need to get back on to being organised!

Hi, I have only just came across this thread, what a wonderful idea I am interested in joining in. My plans for this afternoon/evening is to get the dinner in the oven (sausage casserole), make a list of chores and decluttering with a view to getting certain things done every week and catch up with this thread

After reading some of the posts on this thread, I have also ordered one of the organised mum diaries. I am determined to get things organised so until the diary arrives I will make a note on paper.

I have 2 children aged 9yr and 1yr and I am also 19 weeks pregnant (unplanned). The pregnancy has meant big changes DH works full time (sometimes long hours) and I have decided to do some home study courses and go to evening classes to retrain so its going to be busy. Also need to do a massive declutter as there is no space for the baby at the moment.
