Hi all

Thanks for the start PF. I would defo put the cleaning of the porch on your list and tick it off
CCL hope you have a good first day back

Daughter's poorly today - just in time for first day back at school! So I'm working from home today, which will save me fuel
I have yesterday's potty training clothes on the line today. Bob my son is 3! I trained my daughter at 22 months and she got it straight away. I started training the boy at 2 and have been trying every few months since. He's in the preschool class at nursery now so really needs to up his game :rotfl: Hopefully nursery will have better luck with him today than we had yesterday!
Which do you think is cheaper? one load of laundry or 4 nappies? :rotfl:

Hope you all have a great day:)

Hope your little girl gets better soon HelleBelle. All you can do is keep going with your son. He will get it. All the clich!s are true aren't they 'all kids are different' blah blah...

Hi everyone :wave:
I've survived the first day back, and although things didn't go exactly according to plan, I am at least sitting down for the evening with my feet up and a cuppa on the go.
Work was fine - just like I'd never been away.
JHiggins, I'm pleased that you're feeling a bit better now - I know that's a load of money but at least you're not burying your head about it, and you're in a better position to deal with it than you would have been 6 months ago.
Hope everyone else is doing ok,

get home asap after work so my mam doesn't have to babysit for too long this is where stuff went 'wrong' - my mam took them to her house which is 10 miles from home in the opposite direction from school so I had a super long commute.
[STRIKE]:) aim for 7000 steps (hopefully more)[/STRIKE] at 9000 so need to sneak a few more in
[STRIKE]:) try not to stress[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]:) get the kids to get ready for school tomorrow[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]:) get an early night.[/STRIKE] Still on for this

I'm all done - lunches for tomorrow are prepped and packed, uniforms are ready, kids are settling in bed and I'm just about to head off with some crochet. I'm looking for a pattern for a baby toy at the moment....
