Sashybo - Back Again

sashybo

Thanks SA. 

I also love buying the kids clothes, I spend more on them than on me to be honest but I think that's just the way it goes! I ordered some romper suits and dresses for DD and some t-shirts, pjs and a summery short sleeved shirt for DS today as H&M had 20% off kids stuff plus free delivery. I bought a size up so the fit (hopefully) in the summer, not that we usually get much of one in Scotland. 😂 

Their kids clothes are lovely, reasonably priced and nice quality so I like buying from there. I remember Adams - my mum used to shop in there for us, mostly my brother though as I think my sister & I were a bit too old for the age range.

The ibuprofen is just for DH's back atm as he is still in pain with it, he thinks he's pulled something moving heavy pots in the garden. I think he was lifting them (and probably not lifting properly as well) instead of dragging them or shuffling them aside whilst cleaning the patio and paving.  I don't know why it's been so difficult to get hold of ibuprofen here for the last few months. 🤷‍♀️ 

DH should know better with the heavy lifting as he already has back problems due to being tall and his dad (who is also tall) really damaged his back years ago and nearly ended up paralysed due to years of building work and lifting heavy things he probably shouldn't have been moving or carrying.

Hope she pulls through.

Thanks Beanie, unfortunately we've now heard that DH's aunt is on a ventilator in ICU. Just have to wait and see if she can recover. 😟 But as I said to DH at least she's in the right place and they'll do everything they can for her. 😔 

It's dry outside today so we're going to get the kids organised and we'll get out into the garden. I have quite a few things to get on with and DH can sit and rest his back whilst keeping an eye on DS. At least DD can't run off yet so she can sit in her bouncy chair in her snowsuit. It's still pretty chilly out there atm!

I'm sorry to hear about DH's aunt and hope she recovers. Sorry about DH's back too.

Thanks Beanie & Hairy, last we heard DH's aunt had improved slightly, so fingers crossed.

Finally managed to get out into the garden with the kids and DH. Hung a washing out and sowed cucumber and courgette seeds. I then got my nematodes applied to the soil in the garden, my pots and the front garden.

Whilst I was at the front I weeded, removed some rubbish and stones I found and then put down some slug pellets after applying the nematodes. After that I repotted the reduced narcissi I got from Mr M's on Friday. I think I'll plant them in the front garden in the autumn.

Had another video chat with my mum and DS was delighted to see her, he kept trying to kiss the phone. 😂 

Feeling very tired today, will try and get to bed a bit earlier.

Well I tried to get to bed earlier but DD still woke up, she wakes up whatever time I go to bed and wants a bottle and a cuddle before she will go back to sleep. She will be moving into her own room and into the big cot in the next week or so. She might sleep better then as she won't hear me moving about as much. 🤷‍♀️ I can but hope. 😂 

DH & DS are still sleeping now. 😱 DD is awake but happy lying in the Moses basket after a nappy change and a bottle so I left her up there and came downstairs for a bit of peace before I have to get both kids up and organised.

Have done a 15 minute yoga practice and had my breakfast now. Hoping to get a cup of tea before going upstairs to sort out the monkeys.

Doubt that DH will get out of bed and sort them on his own. 🙄 He's been staying up too late playing on the computer and then is like a bear with a sore head (and back!) in the mornings. He did get up around half 1 with DS, he was crying as he'd had a bad dream. ☹️ He's still too wee to really explain to us what's wrong but DH thinks that what it was.

It's nice and sunny outside today but quite windy. Will try to remember to set up the bubble machine in the garden for the kids, they will love it.

I need to get some bigger sized sleepsuits and other clothes for DD as she is getting very long as well as chunky. Some things will last a bit longer but some are too wee already. I can get some sleepsuits from Mr M next time I'm there, have some of DS's old ones in the next size up and some of her current ones will last a while longer.

Also need to hoover and try to clean the bathrooms. I have loads of carrots so want to try and make carrot and lentil soup in the next few days as well.

I managed to get into bed around half 11 last night without waking DD. 🥳 She slept until half 3 and then wanted a bottle, so that was pretty good. She then slept from 4am - 8am. 👏 

I think we're going to put her in the big cot in her own room tonight but will probably start off with her in the Moses basket inside the cot, so it's still a familiar area to her. We get her ready for the day/ready for bed every day in her room and put her down in the cot for naps so she knows it but obviously it will be different for her being in there alone overnight. I'm expecting a bit of resistance, DS hated being moved into his own room. 😑 

I didn't get the bathrooms cleaned or the hoovering done yesterday but did get out into the garden and remembered the bubble machine. Both kids loved it and it was quite windy so the bubbles were getting whipped away over all the other back doors. 😊 

Managed 25 mins of yoga this morning, need to grab a shower as well at some point. I was planning on getting up early to go to the supermarket to see if there would be any flour earlier in the day, not sure if there is ever any or if it's just grabbed first thing. 🤷‍♀️ So bizarre that there's literally no flour any time/place I go. Of course this was the first morning in ages that DD didn't wake up at 7am on the dot. 😂 Will try and do it tomorrow.

No S.R. Flour anywhere it seems. 

Plenty plain.

Hi beanie, we can't find any type of flour anywhere! Very annoying.
