Kids room is still a tip, ours is starting to go that way too!

Lounge, kitchen and bathroom are pretty good.

Kitchen cupboards need sorting out, badly.

so,

Kids room, thourgh clean.
Our room, tidy the 'junk pile'
Kitchen cupboards, sort out and clean.

And all the rest of the daily stuff! LOL!!!

This should be an easy FLYing week for me, we go on hols Tuesday to my Mum's who is a neat freak and constantly tidies up after us so there will be no housework to do as she will have done it all!

Elizzy - sending you huge hugs hun! Come and off load here anytime. I know in real life your being strong for your friend but we are all here to listen whenever you need a shoulder hun!

Broomstick well done of the 10k!

Nicki sorry to hear about the car, there is always something.

Lil_me, I do wish you would slow down a bit, you must remember if you dont take time to recover now you will only end up getting iller (is that a word??) and non of us want that. Sorry rant over.

DD1 wanted to come home from nannies early as was feeling unwell. Will see what she is like in the morning and if still has temp/not improved will get over the doctors before 8.30 to get in the open surgery. Bet the queue will be half way round the building. She didnt want any tea again and that is just not like her.

I will be joining the challenge again this week but one request - can we have some nice weather please!! pretty please!!

Evening folks

hopeelizy sorry your week was so hard. Please come here to talk if you need to, cos that is a lot to get through on your own.

nicki hope the car isn't too pricey to fix

LJD let us know what the problem is if you find out. Kids pick up really funny things don't they

Anyway, hugs to all of you.


I'm feeling this week may be a slightly better one for flying than last week was due to the stuff we have achieved this weekend. I even managed a visit to my parents for a bit today, as DH hasn't been for a bit, and we picked up their learning to walk push along toy for charlie to use, and also got my umbrella back from my sister which i will probably need this week. :rolleyes:

I also had a good start on the kitchen while cooking dinner. I cleaned the microwave, all the small appliances, and then took everything off the 2 big shelves, throwing rubbish, and then cleaned them and put everything else back, and refilled all the staple jars (flour/pasta). Hob was cleaned.

Morning all!

Not the best of nights here. DD2 came in at 1am saying she had been sick, and she had so duvet bedding etc in wash now. She then came back at 2am to say she had done a pooh in her nappy (she is dry during the day but nappies at night) first time she had done this for months and months. She did have high temp so gave her medicine and a wipe down and they both came it at 6.20. Both seem brighter today although DD1 is now saying she feels sick!

I have had a cup of tea, made DH sandwiches and thats about it. Off to get showered and dressed and start the day!
