Dancemum.. I've brought noodles and pasta and cup-a-soups so I should be ok.. plus I located a Chinese in walking distance.. probably further than I think but I COULD walk there!


Girls all in bed apart from Pixie who is being quite pesky!! She is tormenting OH touching everything he is using or he puts down.. she is standing really well though and has taken a few steps by herself today on several occasions.. we MAY have her walking this year!!

Nappy and bed time for Pixie.. she is a cheeky little thing!

Hello everyone, thanks for the new thread Natty. I hope you enjoyed your time with your niece. Aunties are very important people to my kids.

I've been missing for a couple of weeks. Ginge came home from hospital on 2nd August. We went on holiday abroad on the next day. Ginge is expected to return to work sometime in October. He's lost lots of weight (muscle) and has recently learned he had pneumonia in his recovery (why he was admitted to ICU). It's lovely to have him home but hard keeping the house quiet so he can sleep.

I've got a second job. I've been very short of funds when my usual lady had a 3 week holiday so it was a case of needs must.

I've got to work for my new job for an hour tomorrow. A huge ironing pile needs tackling at home and I will tackle the list before I head up to London with my littlies to see a theatre show.

See you all in the morning.

Morning everyone. I'm in again this week, thanks for the list Natty. Yesterday I managed some of the kitchen list, this morning I've gone off list and cleaned the downstairs loo. Just about to go in the gym and bath, will then walk the dogs, hoover downstairs and see if I can fit in any of today's list before the paid stuff.

Have a great day everyone.

Well yesterday I managed to give the oven hob a darn good clean which took a good hour or so! Then all my plans changed when eldest son went to the beach with his mates and younger one didn't want to go so we went to the cinema together while hubby was in work Came back and took the dogs for a lovely long walk after which I flaked out shattered! So - happy with hob, spent quality time with youngest and enjoyed a really good natter together when walking pooches but now to catch up a bit
Will be taking some off of yesterday's list and some of today's - have 11 year old niece over for girlie evening tonight so need to give place a good onceover
Happy FLYing all
xx

Ooh we are just back from a week in East Runton, I wonder if we saw each other!

Struggling. Whats new there. Lots of medical appointments for DS1, finally saw the clinical psychologist yesterday and she was brilliant. Lots of paid stuff and ferrying kids around so there just doesnt seem to be a minute.

Nearly got through the washing and ironing, will try and do more flying this afternoon. Got to get ready for work now!
