Well my me time consists of cheesy tele (watching Wife Swap on E4 which is making me laugh) kids asleep and a mooch on ebay/internet, but going to resist spending, bliss.

Michelle, sounds like your partner got a little taste of what it's like to be home with a little one all day, poor lamb feeling tired eh :rotfl: if all us who do didn't do anything because we were tired etc we'd get nothing done!

nowt wrong with a bit of cheesy tele, although i usually have to wait till DH isn't in!!!

:rotfl: I know. He does make me laugh. It's not even like i expected that much, perhaps just emptying the WM as it was his stuff, and putting last nights washing up away, or even rinsing the bowl and spoon he used to feed charlie with at lunch time. :rotfl: but he literally sat on his bum all day, watching the grand prix and letting charlie eat his shoes by the sound of it (not the pair he was wearing - pairs he found on the shelf under the coffee table.

MEN!!!!

Although i do not what he means. Charlie was awake at 6.

Anyway - i'm off now as my wrist is killing. Hope it's not my RSI playing up or i will struggle.

Night. x

Hello! Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend. Didn't have time to post last night, MIL took baby for a walk for an hour in the afternoon so I really cracked on and DH came home early so we fetched the furniture to get that job out of the way. Got home, table in no probs, unpacking huge (and v expensive mirror) and it was broken_pale_ felt sick! Rang the shop and went back and chap said he'd done it putting it in my 4x4. Thank g*d it was him and not us, he replaced it free of charge so I brought all my lamps from him. Finally got mirror in place today after fetching fixtings as it so heavy and its a new house so walls are about 1mm thick! Looks FAB and looking forward to sleeping there tonight. Only thing is we have a viewer tomorrow, I don't want to move! So will see how things go, am meeting new house people on Mon so hopefully can get our money back. Chilled out with a takeaway and flim (and wine lol!) last night.

Have had a really lovely day today, inlaws are on holiday next week and wanted to see DS so they offered to babysit whilst we went out. Dh took me for lunch (yummy tapas and a nice glass of wine) and then did shopping I needed, nappies and such. DH is away next week so its been nice to spend time together, think thats been my 'me time'. It sounds awful but it was so nice to have 5 minutes to myself and to be able to eat without thinking of someone else all the time. Then SIL and partner came round tonight for a couple of hours so had a really good day, baby had not had enough sleep so got very grumpy and ended up putting him to bed early, not heard a peep from him but dread what time he'll wake in the morning. Only thing is DH has ran into the open garage door and spilt his head open:eek: Good thing I'm not squeamish, clean him up, he won't go to hospital (men!) and is now snoozing on sofa with me poking him every 10 mins to check hes okay. Supposed to be taking my cousin swimming tomorrow but he can't go with his head like that.

Lil_me Hope the pups better

In between cheesey tele have chopped all the veg to put in SC tomorrow, all in the fridge in the SC pot ready for tomorrow, just need to throw the meat in and switch on before I take DS1 to this fishing thing (hope the weather improves he's not keen on rain) have got him a water proof coat out which is very big on him but can put lots of layers under it. Going up to sort his clothes out in a mo.

Will hopefully be getting an early night as need to be up early to get him ready, ah best sort out his packed lunch before I go to bed. Not used to going out early on a Sunday so it's got to be well planned or I'll be in a flap I'll be staying with him at first at least to make sure he settles ok. Fingers and toes crossed he reacts well and enjoys it!

Puppys coughs reducing (thanks to those who asked) will get some honey tomorrow and try that as she's protesting to the medicine even with a syringe she's a wriggler. Bread issues resolved seems may have been the flour

Right what's left for my weekend

All laundry away
Socks/undies sort
Sort paperwork
Look for DS1s missing glasses no sign so far
Clear stuff that needs to go upstairs
Tidy dining table (uni work splattered all over it)
Take DS1 to fishing
Dailies
Night time stuff

Just had an argh moment, went to the loo came down and 'Doodles' had covered the floor and leather sofa in red paint!!!! 7.30am I didn't want to deal with that, most of it's off now but a few marks which I will tackle when I get back. Right time to go fishing! TTFN

Morning all,

I think I've definitely had my me time this weekend. Saturday pyjama club ended at 3pm for me when I had a slow mooch to the shop. Then it was an evening of crime and murder.. On ITV3.

I feel a day of industry coming on today and it's wet outside so it won't be the garden.

Stuff to do today.

[STRIKE]Charity shop stuff to deliver[/STRIKE] in the boot for Monday, was shut by I got there
[STRIKE]Prescription to fetch[/STRIKE] ditto above
[STRIKE]More blummin cat food shopping[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Ironing[/STRIKE]
Bathroom to clean -missed this week.
[STRIKE]Make something lovely. I fancy muffins[/STRIKE]. They were nasty but I ate most of them
Paperwork to sort out and file.
Plans for the week ahead. Meals, birthdays,appointments etc
Windows in and out. About time..

Michelle have a good day marking and Lil_me, hope you get the paint off! Have a good day folks, I'll be back later to update no doubt.

OH NO!!!!

Can imagine you don't want to deal with that at 7:30!
:eek:

Cha9Michelle, Thank you for asking. My mother is in her own home now, and recovering slowly. It's not going as quick as she would like, but it looks like she'll be okay.

Today is mother's day here in Holland, so this afternoon we'll be off to visit MIL. Means I'd better get cracking on the washing if I want to get that all finished today! Ironing is a Sunday night job...

Morning everyone - hope all upsets and alarums are settling down and that the huge problems of yesterday have shrunk to smaller proportions at least.

As for me, had a sleep in
Done beakfast adn cleared away..

S&S'd kitchen and bathrooms, fixed the DW ( with OH's help) and given it a whirl with white vinegar and reloaded.

Done my "wrigglies" ( I breed mealworms for my now tame robin family - at £3 for 100gm its much cheaper - they only eat bran, a crust of bread occasionally and banana skins !) Is worth it to have them tame enough to eat from your hand - and they come tell me if I am late with them!

Now starting on some listing for Amazon while OH cleans out the blocked gutter after all that rain!! Rather him than me.
Dogs mooching - Dizzie still has very slight limp but can stand on it no problem to have a pee so it can't be too bad

question for you knowledgable lot please - what is stardrops and why is it so good? what do folks use it for? Is it "green?"

boston - singing along to Sunday Love songs while she works
