Morning all

Began flying at 5am due to DS being sick everywhere WM in overdrive. He seems to have brightened a bit but we will have an at-home day.

House is tidy-ish but not very clean so must get cracking soon. Promised DD a crafting day so will dig out all the bits in a minute. Had a big row with DH last night - why do men just NOT GET IT sometimes. Grrr.

Right, off to soak the bath in Cif. Have good days all x

Morning

Thanks for the lists ladies, I'm in. I've just spent 10 min removing tat from the kitchen that doesn't belong there - stray shoes, sunglasses, keys, little girl drawings and whatever. So at least the tops are clear and ready to go.

Just having:coffee:, then I'll get dressed and make a start.

Piggers is it worth contacting PALS for your hospital, and asking what the waiting list target is? After DS I had a botched tear-repair resulting in some painful scar tissue and since the waiting list was such they were referring people onto private, but funded by nhs. I went to a Spire hospital. If the waiting list is longer than it ought to be (!) they may have a similar scheme?

Morning all!
First job will be to measure the juice from my blackberries. I rather think I might not have enough sugar.
Hope all ok with DS, ATB.

How in blazes and WHY has half a ton of crumbs, used teabags, bits of food and hot drink spillages appeared on the kitchen surfaces overnight?

And WHAT is that cr*p doing there on the kitchen table?


Visiting a friend who has volunteered to chuck crunchies at the cats whilst we're away to drop off the keys and catch up this afternoon. And we still haven't packed.

4-and-a-half pints of juice...I may be gone for some time.

Bossy.. PALs is a total waste of time.. they are just an intermediary service to put you in touch with the 'right people'.. I can contact them myself.. but it is an 18 week start to finish.. from the hospital utting you on the main wait list.. so they put you on a waiting list for a waiting list to get around it.

YL.. you are kidding me?! .. 4 small girls.. in a biscuit tin.. with 110% rain no doubt... it is utter torture.. I have had everyone banned to speak of it since October when it was booked.. I'm dreading it!! The one good thing is we are not too far from home so we can get back quickly should we need to. At least I can remember why we don't go on holiday and be smug about it and never go again hahaha.

Bedding packed.. just electronics and the frozen/fridge stuff to do now.

I need to torture Twinkle with a bath too.. she hates baths and screams until she turns blue.. then takes 2 hours to calm down.. it's traumatic for everyone!

I need to change the bedding.. all the girls and mine.
get the DW sorted
fold dry towels and put them away.
bins emptied.. and nappy bin
clear potential mould colonies out of the fridge.

anything else???

Valli

ETA now potted...
