Coooeeee

I'm home. What a performance. Anyway, lovely AA man correctly guessed my keyfob had taken a knock, drove me home (not far thannkfully but rush hour traffic) to get spare, then back again. Happily the other worked, so now I have instructions on how / where to take other key for sorting. Had to call on a granny to collect kidlets though, god bless grannies.

Suffice to say, after leaving at 6.10 this morning, and arriving home just over 12 hours later, I have done naff all cleaning

But, I'm on hol now until Tuesday, and inlaws wanted kiddies tomorrow night (plus I'm taking their new laptop to set it up with their new wireless router), so I might have Friday to myself to clean_party_

I feel so behind. I am behind. Although, my ironing pile has vanished to be fair, I'd done mine so I suspect other granny has snaffled the kids clothes and will return them to me tomorrow in leiu of technical support

Where's my dinner???

He's taken the 2 youngest to swimming lessons. Nobody has checked the swimming bag. I know there are no towels in it. They are drying on the line.

:rotfl:

Hope your bite goes down quickly ((soothing vibes))

Glad you are home OK bossy

Pain-free vibes to Mrs Dog

My DD at the 1D premiere yesterday - very teeny pic - you can see half of her face on the far right of the picture, on tiptoe, behind the hand with a ring on

Glad to hear you've hit ML time LSD.. going to relax and stuff now then

I've done 1 load of washing.. hung it out.. and brought it in.. and cooked dinner.. and that is all.

Tomorrow I have the clown HV coming at 11am.. they only employ clowns here.. and Noel is at vet at 3pm and my sister is coming at 12ish..

*sigh* another restful day at the sty!

What happened to this 'just had a baby need to rest/do nothing/sleep 23 hours a day/get some help' kind of thing????

littleskintdragon

Thanks pp! Hope everythings going well with that beautiful little baby of yours. Hmmm rest?? I'm not sure what that is....
Fairly tempted to go back to work until i have to finish, sure it was easier than the summer hols and cheaper!

pigpen

Yes she is a star.. she eats and sleeps and poops like a good'un

I just had a flurry of activity.. DW emptied and refilled, food scraps binned, worktop swept.. not wiped, swept!, recycling out, stray bits away (bags of sugar, Weetabix and gravy granules for example) Dirty pots all stacked nicely, oven trays scrubbed and away, MW moved back into place, windows and doors all shut, washing brought in off the line.

Kitchen is clear, or will be when the DW has been run a couple of times more, but far from clean.. it desperately needs a scrub.. I might employ the girlies tomorrow.. I think between 4 of them it shouldn't be too taxing.. DS3 gets the animals to clean up after and DS2 can do a few CS runs! OH can empty the car and I shall pack for the weekend between feedings.

Portrait collected, it's fabulous! I will try to post a pic later if my phone will allow.

Dinner cooked -- individual, bespoke pizzas for all. Took an hour and a half! Immediately followed by a spell of shouting at ungrateful skids

OH at the pub with friends, I have spent the evening packing a pile of fleaBay items to oust tomorrow. I meant "post" but I think the former is appropriate.

Putting skids to bed next and leaving any mess where it is with instructions that if its still there when I get back from work tomorrow afternoon, it will be binned.

Belly ache, probably because I forgot to eat today :-/ Couldn't face pizza after making half a dozen for everyone else. May have a slice of toast. Probably WILL have a large cider.

I need to cheer up because my miserable face is annoying me, let alone everyone else :rotfl:

Valli- that's an awful lot of clean carpet in your neck of the woods, do you fancy coming here, there's a glass or 2 of wine in it;)

tempting - but no;):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have brought the washing in but that's it - oh and took the cleaner back. (Cleaner than it was when I picked it up, actually;))

DD is off to Blackpool on Friday; my mum is paying for her and my niece to go to the Pleasure Beach. I have earned brownie points as I googled for a code and have pre-ordered 2 x £25 (online price) wristbands for a total of £36. Walk-up price is £29.99!
E mail printed off; utility bill sourced and both in polypocket ready for Friday.

Oooh look forward to seeing pic!
Dr Bumpkins recommends:
1. Eat the toast
2. Drink the cider
3. Get binbag ready to dispose of any remaining sh*te when you get back from work tomorrow
4. Know you are fab & get a good night's sleep
