Hi Lou
Welcome to the mad house! It's hard work but I promise you can make it! :coffee:

It's been a weird day, we all woke up early and had breakfast, then I got loads of laundry sorted while the kids played. I now have nothing in my clean clothes basket and after this evening I also have nothing in the ironing basket too. All washed, dried, sorted/ironed and put away.
The kids have been lovely today, all playing together nicely and helping each other out. I be sat back with a cuppa and breathed in the wonder of all my tiny humans and how bleddy amazeballs they all are!
The kids did the dishes and wiped the table down after dinner and ds8 hoovered the downstairs.
They all watch a film together while the baby slept and I snuck off to put a final lick of paint on the boys magnolia walls.
Tomorrow I need to put their beds back up and their room is complete.
After dinner all the kids had baths and showers, into jammies for bedtime and ALL went straight to sleep. I then had some crumpets with butter on- yummy, ironed everything that needed it while watching American horror story on Netflix and then had a cuppa, all in peace. I've got everything ready for school run tomorrow and listed a wad of stuff for sale on the book of faces.
I'm now in bed happy as Larry ( whoever he is, the jolly fellow) and ready to enter the land of nod.
Hope everyone's weekend has been grand.
Love k+8

Today is paperwork and admin day:(
I have to sort out, file, discard and shread and tidy till its all done, damn you konmari and your organisation bible. I now neeeeeeeeed to have tidy surfaces everywhere and I cant stand the clutter, major nesting has officially kicked in now. :rotfl:
So far we have kondo'd our clothing, toys, kitchen stuff, chrimbo decs, baby clothes and now I'm onto the paperwork, I am determined to have it all cleared through and beautifully filed before the baby gets here.
I have a huge pile of things for the post office now too as I made a promise that whatever I buy for baby I need to pay for with stuff ive sold on so I have listed loads and TBH most has sold.:T:T
I also have a crib to sell as I already have a moses basket that a friend has leant me and ill probably co sleep so wont actually end up needing it.
I have loads of cloth nappies and baby accessories to sell too as I just bought bundles to save money and some things I have doubled up on so can sell on to buy what I need for wee man.;)
NSD today, though tomorrow I will be paying postage for the items ive sold, all bills are paid and we have food in the fridge and cupboards, just got to get to payday on Friday.:A
need to mealplan for Fridays shopping and plan our weekend then all my expenses are accounted for and any surplus funds can go in the bankruptcy account.
happy Monday everyone, hope you are all well K+8:D:D

Hi Kim, all,

I am so glad you had a great day, yesterday.

I have a theory, if I might make so bold, and you know this is tongue-in-cheek, right?

Either the magnificent 7 have realised Wondermama is human too, and needs them to behave or Netflix is a portal to Stepford. :rotfl:

Crikey that was a jam packed day, I sorted half the paperwork, put up beds in boys bedroom, prepped a curry for dinner and did a load of washing. :-)
NSD plus I made £50 selling kids clothes we no longer need.
Wee man is so active tonight my belly looks like he's going to break through the skin!
My angels are all sleeping beautifully and everything is ready for tomorrow-
K+8 over and out ❤️❤️❤️

Glad you had a good day yesterday, I have 2 children and they can be a complete nightmare, I think I am overdue some good behaviour from them Lol

At the risk of sounding stupid, what is konrami?
