  • Well the sickness bug mentioned in the last entry hit the rest of the house in a staggered manner..DH getting it twice!
    I think we're all clear now.

    DS is now back at school and normal routine has resumed.

    Tornado toddler is now potty trained :T:T even of she has her pull on for bedtime she'll ask to use the toilet instead of weeing in it. Such a relief to have finally cracked that.

    The twins are now in full swing with the food weaning. They've not taken twins it as quickly as the older twins own did. However, 3 weels in and I'm seeing some evidence in their nappies. We're doing baby led weaning and although they're having small portions of our food I'm still trying to adjust to making enough for 6!!

    The thing I love most about baby weaning is it always makes me explore new recipes. I made a veggie nugget recipe the other day..that went really bad! However the chicken pasta bake I made the following day was a hit and so easy.

  • Hey diary world.

    Not a great deal to report. Just plodding along really.

    Life is just hectic the older the twins are getting. Not really finding much time for anything really! When I do get a spare 20 mins I've got myself into full KonMarie swing. I'm trying to achieve one small thing a day.

  • You are doing brilliantly especially with two growing babies, never mind the other kids. You are almost in the 26's, great progress, well done.
  • Pooh, any chance of that £75 coming off by the end of the month to make a nice round number? You are doing brilliantly.
    Outstanding mortgage: £23,181 (December 19)

  • Afraid not Wishing. Every penny is has a purpose at the moment and there simply isn't £75 spare to tidy up the outstanding :(

    I love that. There isn't £75 - every one of my pennies already has a job. You're nailing this! Totally nailed. You're doing great.

    I would use your brood as an excuse to avoid it all and make it hubbys job. You're doing great! X

  • A bit behind with setting my Feb goals. Ooops. But despite that I am still plodding along with it all. Life is still hectic.

    Been thinking about my return to work which is hopefully the beginning of July. I'm both looking forward to it and dreading it. Its a full time job running the house as it is so goodness knows how it'll be done when I go back full time. I can't compromise really. I earn the most and we will definitely need a bigger house in a couple of years so we need to pay off this debt and save to realise that dream, :o
