Michelle and Tori - another monster here with paddy's. Sunday we went to church with IL's and MIL was feeding him buttons all through service, take him back to theirs and have the mother of all wobblers when I tired to give him some lunch, he made himself sick from going off, you try and ignore it but he got into such a state. He then started gobbing veg chucks everywhere while we ate our lunch....sometimes hes a brat. Only finally today has he accepted what I'm giving him to eat without going off. Plus we are the stage of either hanging off my legs or pinching my legs or touching whatever I'm trying do (pulling off the clothes from the airer as I put them on). I have so much sympathy! I sound so evil and cold don't I and of course I love him more than anything and hes my life but sometimes he drives me crackers! Its lovely people admit these things too as normally everyone says how brill things are and won't admit to that 5% bit that can drive to despair sometimes.

Phew, rant over!

If I never have to paint uPVA on walls again to seal the plaster it'll be too soon. I'm fed up of doing that and there's still lots to do. I guess it makes a change from striping wallpaper.

Right updated list, and then I'm going for a 15 minute challenge, not sure I can face a 30 min one, too much other stuff to do. No point me clearing under the bed the only thing under there is the carpet from the spare bedroom, so that's one less thing for me

rach

am back from evening at work later than planned as had to give someone a lift home and then when i got back there were about 20 chavs outside my flat some with baseball bats and long metal implements....so i kept driving! came round the block and the police were there but kids still milling around, so drove round a bit more and when i came back again 2 police cars were pulling off and all seemed quiet(ish). so fingers crossed.

have got awful stomach ache - trapped wind i think, i look about 6 months pregnant (no joke!) must be something i ate for dinner - mushrooms is my guess. going to make a cuppa and take a windeeze and finish the job app i promised myself i'd do today...

rach

ha. joked to OH by text that it must be a full moon with all the trouble tonight, and seen a few police cars steam past and just looked out of the window and it is....

Right quick update from me.

DD1 collected from school
Rusty walked (kids in waterproofs but they dont care - loads of puddle splashing fun)
Tea made and scoffed
Kitchen re S & S - sink disinfected and very shiny
BM on - nearly finished

The hunt for waterproofs continues but still not decided.

Waiting for loaf to finish then will take my babes for his last trot. Feeling extremely tired tonight so hoping I will nod off as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Tinsel - Funnily enough DD1 got one of the Apple Tree Farm books in her book bag when she started school this year. She picked another one of the same set to bring home yesterday.

DH bought a PS3 at the weekend so he is currently having a go on that, think I may pop to bed and let him do the last walk - he he he!
