Shirleyp my oh didn't realise how much i do around the house or looking after the kids until i got rushed into hospital and was out of action for 4wks. After having to do it all himself he now appreciates that i don't sit on my bum all day ( just a little bit of it;) )

OK here's a laugh for you all, it finally started raining here this afternoon (mowed 2/3rds of the back garden, didn't manage to beat the rain!) after being so warm and muggy for the last few days.

I went and stood outside in it, lovely and cooling. Then I looked up at the front of the house and thought 'those gutters look disgusting' so I decided to clean them, well the lower ones which I could reach off a small stool, so there I was in the rain on a stool with a cloth in my hand cleaning the gutters!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

Do I win the the 'daft' prize today???

Pollybear

We're all daft, but I think you might be in the lead at the moment

Well I think I am officially deceased!!

I have had drugs and liquids and still feel like death. I am just waiting for the hubby to get in from work and I am going to bed for the night.. I can't think straight let alone feed the children and put them all to bed.

Hopefully I'll feel wonderful in the morning!! (hahaha!!)

Right film on for the whinging little turd that calls me mumy (I hate whinging on a good day!) and a cuppa and pjs for me... I want custard creams as well.. now!

Think you might have, I must admit to wondering when I was scrubbing the shower before I got out this morning. I've wiped it with the flannel before but never actually taken the cleaning stuff in with me - cleaning with intent :rotfl: .

It meant I got a head start on the flying though and all jobs are done.

Put your fingers in your ears whilst I shout.... I'VE FOUND MY MOT! I just had this urge to go through the box my DH said he'd checked....guess what was in there! Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm so relieved....had visions of having to put it through another MOT. Right, going to put DS to bed and relax for half an hour before my DD comes in from brownies xx

shirleypark good idea to get your own space, even if it is the sofabed. You can't have someone grinding you down like that. Thinking of you.
traceyg my DS Sam (3 months) seemed to like the baby massage. I did it five years ago with my daughter with a different instructor, who demonstrated it all very slowly. When I tried to do the same at home, my daughter used to get fed up. This instructor demonstrated it faster and not so much time on each stage, and DS seemed to like it after his bath last night and tonight. Good luck with trying the new playgroup, hope you find some non-snooty mums.....!
I have done no flying at all today, instead I went to visit OH's godmother with DS. Had a great time, but now I must get on with it! I have my mother arriving tomorrow, most of house is straight but living room is awful. OH is out, kids are fast asleep. I am going to post my list, log off and not log on until I have done it all. I need kicks and rockets........

My day didnt go as planned. First oh decided to kip on sofa instead of going to bed as he was waiting for an important document to be delivered then the eletric man came to read the meter so had to show him into kitchen past oh who was sprawled out on sofa in just his boxers . went to make a quiche and the ham had gone off so i made a big batch of chilli instead.
Then this afternoon oh had to sort something out with car tax couldnt do it at post office so had to go to the nearest dvl office 80 mile round trip:eek:
we just got back in time to warm the chilli up for tea (so glad i made it earlier) and then time for oh to get ready and go to work.Had the shower room gleaming but one heaver down pour of rain one dog and 3 kids = a completly manky shower room:eek: and the kitchen floor is just as bad.
