    Pigpen, I'm pleased to hear that your DD3's journey is well under way. Does this mean that all the younger sprogs have added +1 to their numbering? - that will confuse everyone! Good luck to DD3 with her diabetes control.

    only DD3 really.. though I may just resort to calling her Meem.. I have Moomin, Tiddles, Squeak, Dot, Pixie and Twinkle so I dn't think it matters.

    But Boog, formerly DS3 now DD3, is no longer Darius and is Mathilda. I'm sticking with Boog haha!!

    I am finding it REALLY hard to not call her 'him' and use female pronouns etc

    2 - clean bathroom (thus using steam mop efficiently)[/STRIKE]
    3 - clean dining room
    4 - [STRIKE]clean hall [/STRIKE]and stairs

    I also stripped and remade DS's bed and vacuumed around.
    I vacuumed the landing.
    I sorted socks and put away them and some ironed laundry.
    Filled WM with towels.
    Did a binbag dance.

    Thank you

    I feel extremely irritated at the moment also I have a niggling feeling I have forgotten to visit him today. I’m exhausted as I have been having nightmares for a couple of weeks and haven’t been sleep well. People are coming up with stupid requests and opinions.

    Just made and ate dinner.
    DH is clearing up.

    (((Hugs))) dancemum. I'm not surprised you're exhausted. Rest as much as you possibly can and give yourself time to grieve. Flying can take a back seat atm. I hope dancegran is OK xx

    dancemum.. give yourself a break.. go with your emotional tsunami. I can imagine you are lost and that is a normal feeling and reaction..

    My house insurance renewal came through so I spent 3 hours doing that.. I have saved £25 a month and got my phone covered as well and my wedding ring has been added.



    I'm still up to my ears in washing to be folded and have a house full to bursting with stuff.. this week is going to be spent getting the bathroom sorted first off and then ebaying like a crazy person! I need £500 this month to pay for the holiday

    I need some order to this chaos.. I need some help and time and energy!
