    Well, the delivery has been for next door and I've watched Anthea. So, am I motivated? Well, what do you think? :D

    Haven't done a thing (except get the washing in and put it away).

    I did such a lot yesterday and hardly anything today. Still, there's always tomorrow.

    Back again!

    Trying to keep up with the house, but it's not as nice as it used to be.

    Still, it's not as bad as it was before that, so at least I'm better than I was 6 months ago. I'll count it as a win.

    She's awake again - I'm sure she can hear the hard drive or something.

    You are lucky, my DD is 6 months next week and still sleeps like she did when she was born (well almost). She is only awake for a few hours a day. I am very lucky though she does sleep 10 hours at night every night and has done since she was about 4 months. I may actually have to go and wake her soon as she is going past her feed time. I have started to introduce solids in the hope it might perk her up a bit but no luck as yet. It does mean that I am able to get more work done though.

    I have not done much flying yet as work has been busy, just my dailies in between jobs and dealing with DS. He plays up more when I work, which is understandable really. I am trying to get a good balance between giving DS enough attention(don't know what I will do when DD starts staying up more), earning money and keeping the house tidy, not really got it down yet though:rolleyes:

    Any way I hope everyone is well and if you are not ((hugs)).

    I just have to say that all the before pics of ironing are very neat. DH usually takes it out of the TD or off the line and screws it up some more in a basket (dealing with clean stuff is his job - I make it clean he makes it dry but not neat:rolleyes: ). I hate ironing it takes me ages so I avoid it if possible, I need a new iron, that could be the problem, maybe I will 'treat' myself this month.

    just updating and checking my list.. need to gut this pc desk really.. but it is such a mess I can't be bothered so... I shall resort to buying school uniform for September as I have to go soon to collect the grubs.. need a cuppa too..

    More washing to hang out.. it is glorious here today.. makes such a change from the rain. My nanna came round yesterday.. the whole downstairs of her house is ruined due to the flooding.. her suite, 2 cabinets (one which had been her mothers) her new WM and all her kitchen units etc.. all ruined.. she had piled stuff on her sofas out of the water and it had risen further and ruined that as well!! I have a friend from school who is not going to be going back to her house for at least 11-14 months!!!!! I am VERY lucky!!!!

    Anyway.. onward and upward!
