    YES YES and double YES!!!!!!!

    I have found DS1's birth certificate!!!!!!!!!!

    Damn it I'm good..... See in my chaos and mess and total lack of organisation I know EXACTLY where his birth certificate is.. when I haven't had use of it for 14 years since I put his name down for nursery and school!!!!!!!

    Tiddles has a mountain of paper to shred.. she is hilarious.. she puts it in really carefully and as soon as it turns on she runs away lol

    Afternoon all

    Feeling shattered, not sure if it was the reflexology or not sleeping well. My get and go has gone - not the result I was aiming for.

    Washing on the lilne but it is very windy somight not stay there. I'm bored of sitting around like I'm supposed to after the RX so going to do the washing up. Not long until school pick up time.

    Stair gate, on bedroom doorway - works a treat until they have watched bigger one's open it enough times to figure out how it works. btw I am not evil - all kids bedrooms are downstairs - ours is upstairs. I was worried about lo wandering in middle of night :rolleyes:

    Justamum.. I left Friday as childrens room day so if necessary they can help over the weekend.. mean aren't I?!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That's a good joke! I honestly think that sometimes I must be speaking Chinese because my children don't seem to understand the concept.

    Bottled out of today. I'll change bedding but really can't face doing anything else in their rooms.
