Vanilla - your poor DD. I bet your heart is breaking for her, surely the school can educate her class mates without turning it into a big deal . The buddy system that Dusty described sounds fab - does your school have a suggestion box? maybe you could put that idea forward.

Michelle - Phew! It wears me out just reading your posts hun let alone trying to do it with a baby belly. Please try not to run round like a loon tidying your house before MIL visits. She is coming to help you out! I know its easier said than done as I am a control freak too, especially when it comes to housework but please try to rest.

Well still on pox watch here no sign on either of the girls yet but still got a while to go until they are out of the incubation period. Put make-up on this morning so all but 2 spots not visable anymore (well on my face):j .

DD1 has to do decorated eggs to take into school on friday so there is me this morning in front of the kitchen window blowing eggs - was on about the 3rd egg when I suddenly thought what it must look like to anyone walking past (out kitchen is in the front of the house):rotfl: .

bathroom should not take too long as did a good scrub in there yesterday so todays list looks like this:-

Did quite well yesterday. Not only did I do the master bedroom (I use that term loosely - it's tiny), but I also vacuumed the whole house and wiped some of the skirtings, but last night I did the kitchen. Just need to mop the floor now. I'm feeling a bit grotty this morning though so might just clean the basin and squirt some stuff down the loo. One of our loos is blocked and isn't being used (still waiting for the landlord to arrange for the plumber to come) and the one we are using has something strange coating the inside of the bowl which means I can't do my usual proper scrub of it. The shower is swished down after each use so isn't bad, so I don't think I'll worry too much about the bathrooms.

Actually thanks to flying the house is looking much better so I don't mind not doing it properly occasionally. I try to put stuff away straight away so we don't have massive piles of junk around. The real horror spot in our house is our DD1's bedroom. I know I'll have to tackle it soon, but really don't have the energy/can't be bothered at the moment.

WMx1
Bread x 2 on first rise

Need to go out to collect CB and get soya milk
Go to dump to get rid of some rubbish
Take clothes to charity shop
Phone library to see if they have a book DH wants

That's going to be it for me today. I really want to finish the book I'm reading - the Kite Flyer, it's fantastic. Can't wait to read his second book.

NSN.. my list looks the same.. I've finished the red list.. just working on the green one and the messy kitchen.. The house looks like a grenade has been thrown in every room and I was only away 2 days!!!

Hubby hasn't done anything other than cook their dinner, iron his work shirts and load the DW while I was away.. the front room is beyond belief!!! It had 3 days worth of pj's in there this morning!!! pllus 4 nappies and the toy boxes are empty and carpet not visible.. that will be saved for the children when they get home!

The wet washing is being rewashed as it was left inthe machine from Satuirday and the dry laundry was still in the TD from Saturday.. the table had a plate welded to the cloth... so that had obviously not been wiped!

ok.. Now I am moving I have 1 hour to get the kitchen and my room done before I have to go collect Tiddles from nursery.
