Get well soon La E!
I have washed all my bedding and dried outside.
Tried to potty train the little boy but he's still a bit clueless. I now have half a load of laundry to do but on the flip side, have not used any nappies today :rotfl:
He also peed on our dining chairs, so we had to take them apart to dry properly and I'm glad we did - they were well overdue a deep clean! So scrubbed those today outside in the sunshine.
Also vacuumed and mucked out the cars.
Dinner cooked from plan plus extra made to freeze
A very productive day. Hope you all have had a great weekend! xNew total: £24,006

hellebelle I remember that stage well. I tried from 18 months with my son as he was showing signs of readiness. Remember an awful first week of 10 outfits a day going into the wash. But he clicked on soon after and was day dry very soon. Nights we kept the nappies till he was 3 then went cold turkey. Good luck it's just a stage as all the experts like to say

Morning all

Frosty here overnight as well Bobarella. Having said that, we had everything yesterday, heavy rain, a bit of sunshine, windy, and hail that fell so hard that it settled like snow :eek: It is quiet and sunny (and cold) at the moment, but not sure what today will bring!
Well, I finished my stocktaking yesterday :T but didn't do much else. Shopping at Mr S & Lidl, DD came round, OH cooked supper and nothing else (apart from dog walks) really got done. I want to finish sorting out biz paperwork today, so not being too ambitious with today's list either:
Dog walks x 2
HM meals from stores, OH made enough shepherds pie last night to do today as well :T Done
Heating off - at the moment anyway! Still off! But it is cold so the wood stove is alight
Finish off (as far as possible) biz paperwork stuff for 2015/16 FY - very early I know, but once it is done I won't have to think about it any more till I need to get it to the accountant / do the tax return (I usually do this in May or whenever P60 etc available) - accountant isn't usually busy then, and I then don't need to think about it again for ages :T Done :j:j
Housework, hopefully (paperwork taking preference though!) Done a little bit
Any surveys, check FPL (don't know if the latter is a good use of my time though tbh :cool:) Just found one survey today.
Hope everyone has a good Sunday, liking the idea of some of the plans for the day
Bleurrgh, been up to my neck in paperwork all day, with a break for a route march with the dog when my poor brain started to fry! Done now though :T and looking forward to doing something (anything!) different tomorrow!
Still, at least I have been too busy to spend anything :cool:0 -
HelleBelle I remember that well too. I personally think it will just click when they are ready. We potty trained my daughter during the day and then she wore drynight pants for a while.
I have a moneysaving dilemma. I am going to a wedding party in 2 weeks, there will be a few old school friends there that I haven't seen in years. We have booked into a cheap hotel and I am regifting a bottle of champagne. I had my hair cut at the hair and beauty college for £6. Now, I really want to get my nails done, I always get my waxing etc done by the same women as she is excellent. I tried the beauty college and it wasn't as good as not uber cheap either. Now I have booked to have a manicure and pedicure as my nails/skin are shocking and I want to look my best. I have booked to have Shelac gel nails but it is going to cost £50. By the way Shelac nail varnish last longer than your ordinary nail varnish and it involves lots of layers and a special drying machine (don't think yu could do it at home unless you had the kit)I am feeling like I shouldn't but do I deserve a treat?? What should I do....Competition wins £14,136.30[\COLOR]0
