    Actually i think we should have a competition :D We all put pictures of our kids rooms up here on a Friday and see whos is the worst, and the winner will get all of us to go round and tidy it up for them :D


    I'll buy extra coffee and teabags next shopping day then!!!!!!!

    DS1's room was so bad.. I filled 3 binbags and 4 wash baskets before he even realised I'd done anything in there!!!!

    the girls rooms I don't even go in.. and tomorrow I am attacking the boys room...

    Then DD1's room is being 'remodelled'

    I am in fling mode again.. I can't do with christmas it means the house is back to square one after my year of flinging.. I am going to ask at nursery tomorrow if they want any of these toys.. they have to go.. I can't quite cope in the mess.

    I want my room decorating.. I've just decided.. you know what that means don't you?????? EVERYTHING out!!

    I'm on one this week.

    glad to have kept everyone amused lol

    I have just watched that thing on how much Britain gets paid, makes me feel sick....rich getting richer and poor getting poorer is the basics of it.

    Mmmm I've just watched that as well, not particularly nice viewing when Dan went to work in the mortuary :( Didn't even think of seeing what was on 5 tonight, Martin would have been much nicer to watch.

    Kaz.. those 'classes' sound fun.. maybe they should have 'offspring classes' for the children to learn how to behave like people!

    Kimberley if only we all lived close enough. If one of us wins the lottery we should buy a street for everyone to live in, then we wouldn't have to fly alone ever again.

    :o wonder how much tidying I can do before Friday so the little bratbags rooms don't embarrass me too much, saying that the cable for the camera is also missing somewhere, maybe in my room......

    Conservatory getting there slowly, heater moved to a different bit of carpet, once it's tidy it better stay tidy, it was 10 times worse than Pigpen's bedroom before Christmas. No wonder it's ended up bad, we couldn't see the floor in there. 6 boxes now brought into the living room for me to sort through, I have until 11am to get them done aswell as go to collect the stuff to service mother dearests car....not looking good! I think they might end up being nudged somewhere else.

    I've been to parenting classes/groups etc, interesting, good support if done with several parents as you get to all have a gripe and help each other. Did end up being asked to help as an advisor in a few of the classes, was a bit weird..
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I think we can all stop worrying about how 'bad' we're doing, this thread has shown us that sometimes we have to take a step back and say does it really matter that we dont live in a show house, if our kids are fed, watered, clothed and happy then we're doing a good job.

    You are so right, our bedroom would rival both of yours although I am pleading that as area wise it is smaller then obviously the stuff has to be piled higher :p mmmm and the floor erm can't actually remember seeing that in a good long while :o can't believe I admitted that! Still too scared to post pics though :p

    That is a fab idea, and maybe we can knock the walls down so we all live together :D or better still, buy a huge mansion for us all. Just gimme the right 6 numbers :o Ooh just had an idea, why don't we all have a little go at guessing the bonus ball in saturdays lottery? :D I go with the number 8.
  • I'll go with 3 :)
    will update in morning - night all! x

    Hi everyone:o

    Dustykitten thanks for thinking of me, i was gonna post but had nothing much to say as i've done nothing at all from my last post:eek: but you made me think that i really should get back on as everyone is so supportive here.:A

    I really have done nothing, no washing, no dishes nothing. We've eaten out most nights:eek: , it's been awful and i should know better but i've let everything go to pot and the house is a massive tip except for the livingroom which i've spent the last half hour on as i felt so bad.

    Still tonight have to make packed lunch (haven't done that for ages) as DD is starting swimming tomorrow.
    Find all my course stuff:confused: now where did i [STRIKE]throw[/STRIKE] put it.:rotfl:

    Having such problems sleeping and me and hubby are at each others throats.
    Kids are like wild animals, the whole thing is crazy. Someone get the people with the white coats, i need them badly.:rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
