Kids rooms are a bit of a problem today. two of them are still in bed!! I want to get the sheets etc in the WM. Do you think they will notice if I strip the beds while they are still in them?

(((AnWsMum))) - hope its gone ok on the school run. You might find that people are sympathetic/understanding rather than staring/gossiping. I hope so. I also hope the in laws have been supportive. Big hugs to A and W xx

G&B - was it golden castor sugar? You can use that instead of normal castor sugar. The least said about my team last night, the better!!

Is our leader away today or tomorrow? I taped Crufts last night. I'm soooooo jealous. Lil-me are you keeping an eye on us while pigpen is skiving? :rotfl: :rotfl:

Mudbath - hope your doing ok and are managed to read, if not post xx

Dusty - that was lovely about the daffs. Still no daffs here.

I've also noticed the other clutter is DH's, so I'm going to have to either get him to deal with it or get him to put it in the loft so I don't have to see it!!

morning folks.

Having another day off here. DS seemed better yesterday (only 4 dirty nappies) but then i was worse yesterday evening. Now i seem ok again at the minute, and we have already had 3 dirty nappies today. Will try ringing up the drs today i think and see if his test results came back yet.

We have achieved some little bits:
we got dressed and washed in less than an hour. (DS swished and swiped the side of the bath with a baby wipe while i did my hair - must have seen me do it yesterday)
we've hung a load of washing on the line
i just got the WM on again with some of DH's jeans.
we coloured in for about 30 minutes which DS seemed to really enjoy
we made a fuss of the cat, till DS poked him too hard and i ended up being bitten, so that ended that game
we are just having morning snack - banana and a couple of rich tea biscuits for DS, and cuppa and a couple of biccies for me.

I'm thinking scrambled egg on toast for lunch - isn't egg supposed to bind your stomach a bit as well - i think anyway.

I may run the hoover around now while i have slightly more energy so i can snooze in peace while DS naps - i managed a whole hour yesterday - and still felt poopered, but i could watch ashes to ashes without falling asleep.

Hugs all round again, especially Nicki and DD, and AnW's mum, A and W.
