    Late this morning, had to go into school. I think between hospitals and school I don't need a house :cool:

    Just having a cuppa before getting on with the cleaning :cool:

    Been to get milk and bread. Really need some other stuff we're running out of quite a bit of stuff now which is worrying :o Youngest will need nappies and syringes again this week. Going to look back how long I've made them last this time. I've been sterilising and reusing as much as possible.

    Been a busy day cleaning outside and I'm exhausted and cold! Smalls are fed and just in the bath then they can settle down.

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Quite one here as usual no spending will be done.

    Evening. Today's been a busy one. I was up at 4am with youngest and then couldn't get back to sleep so started my day early.

    The sun's been out so managed to sort the garden and clean all the windows. Once I'd done the garden I ended up going out doing the whole square at the back. 6 full hours later and it looks a lot better! Wish everyone would do some it would be much easier.

    Still quite worried about finding the money for the things need paying out this week. As usual I guess :o Trying to keep myself busy enough to keep a lid on it.

    Smalls are all bathed and in bed after getting lots of fresh air today.

    Hope you all had a good day. .
