Morning all

Feeling better today, apart from swollen eye, AF is here so not helping.

DS3 brighter and gone to school, DS2 not good and in bed.

Mummyy5 Happy Birthday to your DS

First job is to mop the floor once everyone is dispatched.

2 kids of ill today I need more sleep

Mumto5

Oh dear! So many poorlies. Get better soon all of you and your loved ones.

Happy birthday to your DS Mummyy5.

Plan today is to take littlies to school then go to work via the chemist tom pickup prescription items for my lady.

I need to buy DH a birthday card and wrap his gifts for tomorrow.

DD1 was brilliant last night helping DS2 with his GCSE revision. I think he is coming to the realisation that he's got to get his head down and revise.

I'm going to have a shower then wake DS1 to pursuade him to go to the j0bcentre. It's national apprentice week and he needs to look at all possibilities of employment.

Fizz.. I have 2 dirty Gerties.. 1 male, 1 female and my others all fight to get in the shower! My 15 y/o boy showers every night.. we have a rota system as it is easier.. I don't think it makes any difference whether you teach them to shower daily or not they are either willing or not to do it of their own accord and that won't be changed.


I have bloat today following yesterdays sad tummy.. it doesn't seem too awful thank goodness.

Morning all . We had a very late night last night, finished booking holiday accommodation at gone 1am. Yawn!
I have sorted the kitchen. It was an absolute disgusting pit. DH had the nerve to say that he wipes down the sides and sink every time he's in the kitchen- rubbish!
Right, I'm watching OBEM and having another coffee and will then have several HHC's from around 10am!
I will pop in and out throughout the day and delete what I have achieved

Mine got told to wipe to wipe the Aga over last night when he let pasta boil over.

We need to book our accomodation this weekend too, flights booked and one lot of car hire done too.

Floor all mopped. Just need to look at what ingredients I need for DS1's cake and then I want to finish the ironing. All other time today and tomorrow will be in he room of doom which is looking better since I have taken all the stuff for donating out of the house.

Grr, just wrote a huge post and lost it.
Didn't get as far as I wanted with the list yesterday but have made a dint in it. Spent an hour in kitchen this morning as I know they are due to read meters. Will post my list later once I've crossed some more off.


Mummyyof5-Hpe your ds has a fantastic birthday.


Fizzwizz- DS1 is 10 (and a half and showing all the signs of puberty (no idea if hair is growing, I haven't asked) But he eats anything going, Is growing like mad, tired, ratty and very eemotional and I think by 12 we will be well into puberty. DD1 is 12 and just going through it too (no af as yet) so it is a very ratty and emotional household here. I'm dreading eventually having 5 teens!:eek:


Hope everyone else is ok x


Better finish my tea and make a start on the next round.

Charlie.. I have 5 teens.. they aren't so bad really.. they have their moments but they are grand usually.. Always someone about to make a cuppa!! Bigger ones capable of school runs and cooking food when necessary and babysitting on occasion. The pesky toddlers are worse!! Bizarrely someone complimented me on their fabulous manners and behaviour twice last week and once so far this week..


Opto.. yes feeling much better today thank you.. I might even eat something.. :eek:
