Morning all - glad you like the pic!

Shirleypark, we're in Exeter, but I don't know where you are! If you're not too far away, I'd love to have you take pics of my babies, but geography is such a nuisance, the internet is much better. :rotfl:

Southampton. Exeter is probably a little too far, shame though

Maralum -- what a lovely family photo! I wish I'd managed to be up, dressed, hair done and all looking lovely at some point in the first year let alone the first week.

No worries shirleypark, it was a lovely thought. You're right though, southampton is too far. Nice place if I remember rightly.

Well, we ended up doing a full clean of the bathroom, so it's fab in there now. It's amazing what you can achieve when there are two of you doing it.

I'd really like to get the floors done today. DH vacuumed the hallway, because my tummy muscles aren't up to dealing with the vax yet. I can do the tiles in the kitchen and laminate in the sitting room though. Might be slightly lazy and not bother. No rush.

Good luck all and happy flying. x

5 minutes break with a cool drink I'm trying to get finished today but I'm shattered and finding it hard to concentrate. I've even procrasted by juggling the contents of the ebay boxes so that they are now clearly labelled as to when they're finishing (OH's have a different coloured paper as well so I can tell they are his boxes ) but the best thing is I've managed to do it in such a way that the huge box which was a pain in the bottom is now empty Now normally I would have taken that upstairs and put it under the bed to use for the Car boot pile, BUT it's about 1cm too tall to fit under the bed properly so it's going in the bin. Infact thats the next job

I'm feeling scruffy as anything ATM. Met my cousins girlfriend (the one who had the baby at Easter) and she's just come back from a weekend away at a caravan with their two kids and looks fantastic (make-up, hair etc all done) whereas I look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards and I've been up since 6am Got to get a grip on myself and maybe (after all the ebaying has been done) go and have a look on the sales rack in Asda for some cheap bargins. No point going to charity shops as they've never got any nice clothes in my size, it's nearly all "Late/middle aged" stuff and I'm only 28 :mad: I need to get new shoes as well as I live in trainers Right, off to do the box & then ebay stuff *makes most of grumpy energy* :rotfl:

Hiya
Gorgeous piccies of babies on here. I'm sure mine were only babies yesterday but somehow they're now 8 and 6!

Thanks for all the kind words regarding my back. Still can't get about very easily so i'm just doing 27 boogie flings thing even if it takes several hours and sitting down inbetween putting stuff away. I managed to do 4 x 27yesterday. What was so scary was that I actually had that many items in the wrong place (and many more to go). I'll aim for doing another 27 today and if I manage that i'll aim to do another 27. Little challenges mean I'm less like to get annoyed at myself! DHs gone away working till Friday so wish me luck!

Hugs to everyone in need and hello to all the new people joining.

I'm off to have some medicinal chocolate xx

Afternnon all - thought I hadn't done much this week but looking at my crossed off list haven't done too badly!

Aswell as all the dailies - which are plenty with 3 kids!

Maralum that picture is gorgeous - you all look so happy and well.

Michelle & Tracy - I don't envy you with OH's working such long hours, my OH works 2 mins away, finishes at 5 and even comes home for half an hour at dinner - I still sometimes feel like pulling my hair out at 4.45!! also if either of you have any advice re: how many bottles LO should be having now he is on 3 meals a day and nearly 7 months it would be much appreciated as seem to have a mental block from when DD's were that age! - thanks

Hugs to everyone else - happy flying all xx
