    Hello

    Well I did okay yesterday. DH came home with some work he needed help with so I didn't do one of the jobs.

    Last night I was up with DS2 for about 3 hours so I was very slow to start this morning.

    So I have lots to catch up on this evening:
    • Empty DW
    • Reload DW
    • Prepare and cook dinner
    • Clear away from dinner
    • Take the rubbish down the end of the road
    • Read with the boys
    • 15 minutes clearing the utility
    • 15 minutes exercise (should be 30 - see how I feel!)
    I'll start a HHC now and see how I go on.

    See you all later!

    Not sure if this video of the girls will work for everyone.. but it is hilarious... turn down your volume though it is a bit loud.

    Yesterday they all wanted me and screamed at OH whenever he picked them up or looked at them and just kept screaming mummy mummy.... So when they went to bed. he with his man flu looked all dejected and sad and said he felt useless and unloved... things are different today! haha!!! That'll teach him!

    Jools hugs, there are lots of people in the same boat with boys of that late teen/early twenties age.

    I have been cleaning walls and shelves in the kitchen, amazed by the dirt. Having a break now though before a final 15 minutes for the day, the rest can wait until next week.

    My Aunt popped in for an hour :eek:

    Should have known because she normally come on a Monday or Tuesday every other week. Do like seeing her but she doesn't go!

    So not as far forward as I wanted to be but:

    [STRIKE]Empty DW
    Reload DW[/STRIKE]
    Prepare and cook dinner - everything ready to go in
    Clear away from dinner
    Take the rubbish down the end of the road - all bags taken to the front of the house waiting for DH to come home and take
    Read with the boys
    15 minutes clearing the utility
    15 minutes exercise (should be 30 - see how I feel!)
    [STRIKE]Clear down kitchen surfaces[/STRIKE]

    Will get a wriggle on!

    I think if I don't set some sort of target, it'll still be sitting there waiting to be finished in another six years.

    DS wound me up with an attitude filled tantrum as the bank of mum is closed

    On a good day I'm sure you love him to bits, and he's deservedly the apple of your eye, but goodness me, he's not sounding attractive. Hugs to you to keep you going while he grows up a bit.

    Still stuck on 'chunks of 15 minutes filing, flinging, sorting tidying.' The filing cabinet is getting serious attention for the second day. It's rather satisfying. I've even been flinging photographs.
    Better is good enough.
