Welcome lozzy

We had a good day out and I managed to do all the flying except sweeping the floor and sorting out birthday cards. I shall try phoning my nephew instead.

It's cold here and I am seriously considering putting the thicker quilt back on the bed!

Hi everyone,

Last week was a complete write off, my little bundle arrived on Tuesday with a dramatic entrance.

Many many congratulations. Aww. Try to get lots of rest and none of that lifting and carrying nonsense!

Welcome! Sounds like you're off to a great start. And welcome to all delurkers :T

Bit of a pants day here. Computer was offline until 10.45 then I had to get something done before 11 and had to get DS to school by 11.15. The rushing didn't help, and he was distraught when I left him so that has been nattering me all afternoon.

Haven't got heaps done, have been comfort eating carp, and am now really worried about him starting breakfast and after school club next week.

But, kitchen is fairly tidy, have done a Mr T order for tomorrow (£15 off a £60 spend and we need loads). Pen came out of DD blankie and she is (currently) in her own bed. Feeling frazzled.

Had a long chat with MIL tonight - they are going away next week and staying in the same apartments as when I had to call them to come home for DHs test results. She's just worried she will be in the same room. Unlikely, and possibly daft but I would feel the same. Anyway, they seem like they are "getting on with things" and have asked to have the kiddies this weekend.

Lol, she also dropped into conversation that eHarm0ny have weekly drinks nights "in your area" and why don't I see if there's "anyone interesting" :rotfl: she said she doesn't like the thought of me staying in all the time :A

Erm. Flying. Yes, I wiped round earlier

Hang on in there bossymoo - Rome wasn't built in a day - DS probably picked up on the fact you were frazzled. Tomorrow is another day!

WE have 43 in reception, of whom 34 stayed for paced lunch today - this is creating all sorts of hassle.

Still no word from my sister. How long does it take to drive from Oxford to Stockport?

Oh bossy your MIL sounds lovely. It must be nice to know that when/if you want to date again you'll have her blessing x

CY hope it's not your DH's tendon vibes
