Minnie.. it sounds like a very similar situation to mine.. I too was on the pill and the rest is history.. OH is very very negative about it, won't discuss anything to do with it etc. SPD is vile I am just fat and useless and crotchety because I am in constant pain and not sleeping for a variety of reasons, cramp and inability to breathe being 2 of them! ooh.. and the heartburn is miserable.. I am incapable of sitting still and just feel I need it out so I can get on with my decluttering and decorating and other housey delights. I've felt so bad when I had the last 2 (also summer babies) that we have been stuck at home through the summer holidays because I've been incapable of going anywhere and so guilty we have hit summer holidays and again I am 'grounding' everyone. BUT... it isn't for much longer and we will both be dashing about and slinky again .. I can moan for England .. I find it quite uplifting to have a good whinge and then I can carry on with my day once it is out of my system.

I never got the washing shuffled but I did find work tops and get the DW done and the next load is ready to go through. Recycling and composting sorted to go out.

Both girls devoured their dinner like they'd never been fed! Ikea meatballs obviously go down well! I'll boss OH to do them dessert and we can get them away to bed.

gave the kitchen sink a good hour's bleaching
handwashed DD4 tummy time mat
handwashed my *new* denim jeans shorts to prevent colour bleeds
WM X 2, pegged out 1 load, DD3 still to peg hers out
rubbed through a bin full of DD4 nappies, ready for a cheap boil wash tonight :money:
important email sent
upstairs loo given a jolly good scrub
ensuite sink having a good bleach

I really have a big bundle of gibble for the loft on the gallery landing (well out of the way of the stairs - safety first and all that) but I cannot quite bring myself to finish the last bits of sorting it out so it can go up there....15 minutes with Fred and a bit of Candy Crushing, then I might feel ready for it

pigpen

My loo is vile... it is on soak number 2 in harpic and the filth is barely touched.. the bathroom one is beautiful.. but the other is just.. well.. not.. the glaze has gone on it so it never looks clean but it has lots of limescale .. (I will be taking my 'toilet knife' up there to deal with it once the pests are away to bed)

WM's refilled.. Squeak was slacking in her duties so I had to do it myself and everything!!

Third night running of beastly children syndrome. I've sat them down and told them I can't be taking them nice places and getting them nice things if they aren't going to be nice.

But, I've done my wii fit! 10min step, 10min jogging and 10min strengthening. Woot.

ETA I've got the reward charts out...

Dustykitten

Back from cricket with an extremely grumpy child. Going to make his bed and get him in it and then it shall be deemed Pimms o'clock in The house of Dust.

I panicked 30 kids today when I asked them if they'd all remembered their swimming kit.

Swimming's tomorrow.:rotfl:

Been an odd day, have been kindly granted 2 subjects to be co-ordinator of - offered to do History and was given Geography as a bonus. Other work issues raised their ugly heads. Anyway got to play 'secretary' after school and tidy up sports day prog. It now looks like it hasn't been collectively typed by lots of people some of whom double space between words but by someone who knows how to format. Wasted, my skills are...

Came home to a MIDDEN as DS had been cooking with his GF. blimming fridge cake.

Could have ranted and raved until he washed up or expended the same energy and washed up myself, properly;)

So I washed up.
