Washing up partly done (the drainer is full of bulky things) stuff in to soak and I've wiped down the worktops the best I can for now. Going to do some work now as I have a late order to put through but only going to work until 10am then get on with some more jobs.

Glad it's kitchens today, mine looks as though something has exploded and there's a smell emanating from the veg drawer in the fridge [typing on iPhone without looking originally suggested there was a "small emu mating" :rotfl:]

:rotfl: that made me chuckle!

Your encouragement would be much appreciated as I am the worlds worst procrastinator

I am the world's BEST procrastinator!! I could win awards!
On that note - I am still struggling to finish my essay (was due last week! :eek: although deadline was extended)

Decorations are mostly up. I plan to up-end the coffee table and put it in front of the tree when I have Bubba this week & next! I will see if he touches it first - just need a back up plan. I am worried he may try to pull himself up on it & pull it over! Just need to sort out the accumulation of tut in the DR - but that needs to wait until the essay is finished.

Opto-mum good advice has already been given. BF is the most natural thing in the world, but it doesn't necessarily come naturally! It needs to be learnt & practiced by mum & baby. I struggled with DD1, but glad I perservered. She lost quite a bit of her birth weight as well, even after 11-14 days (she started of at 6 13, so not big). Piggers gave really good advice. I would just say that if you can avoid formula, that's a good start. Lots of rest, and enjoy your baby

Ok - anyone up for HHSomething? I will be essay writing. I aim for 200 words!

mummyroysof3

Loads to do, essay due tomorrow not started yet and I'll be glad when it's Saturday already...looks like I'm in then eh

pigpen

Cuppa.. check
phonecalls.. check.. I've put them off for weeks and they took 2 minutes!!


I filled a binbag of recycling too.


Washing then wrapping..

Sorry Bossy, I worded what I was trying to say very badly indeed. I was absolutely not having a go at you - the tree your elves had decorated looked fabulous! I wish we all felt we had permission to do less and enjoy it more. Does that make sense?

Everything on the kitchen list needs doing here today, but I love the idea of finishing writing cards - I've only done one!

Good late morning everyone!

The house is freezing today (I haven't put the heating on, instead opting for extra layers and a blanket) so the dog is huddled up next to me under a blanket all tucked in.

At the weekend OH decided to make a roast dinner. It was lovely, but I haven't braved the kitchen since He always leaves it in utter chaos (eg packaging never goes in the bin, cupboard fronts/handles get covered in a layer of stickyness, food bunged back any which way / loose in freezer...) and uses every utensil in sight. Dreading tackling it. I guess that means it should be the first job...

Its a shame as he really enjoys cooking and I like eating it but he really is like a whirlwind !

Living room is still ok, just a few things to straighten - no more than 15mins of straightening and dusting I think.

I'm feeling so weak today after a very quiet weekend, got a doctors appointment on friday and absolutely dreading it as my GP believes that ME/CFS is "all in the head" but I desperately need help with some of the symptoms. Last time I asked about how to manage night sweats he said it was "because you are too lazy during the day"... Last time I asked if there was anything I could do to manage or prevent the very frequent headaches he said "Well you don't have a brain tumour!":mad: I never suggested that! I just wanted advice!

Anyway, sorry for the negative post. Time to try and be positive and put todays spoons into making the house a more pleasant environment to rest in.

Happy flying ladies xx
