Hey pigpen can we maybe have a spring cleaning/ decluttering list for some of the time during the Easter holidays?? I could do with geeting my kinders to really sort their rooms out...not to mention DH...oh and an ebaying challenge thingy would be good too.

I'll see what I can do!!

How about over the easter holidays we have a 'mummy/daddy' list and a 'young person' list.. ??

I have a whole room to empty reskim and decorate over easter.. I'm a busy bunny!

Jill.. stop being so hard on yourself.. You have beautiful babies to share your time with.. the weight will shift in time.. relax, chill and stop tryingto do everything!!!

I was then up and had the children out the door to school at the usual 5 minutes late after DS3 'lost' his shoes... ggrrrr.

I now have a splitting headache which I am going to treat with parrots, caffeine and maybe a dash of ibuprofen as well.

I'm back!

School rang at 9.30 to say that DS was throwing up. So now back at home until lunchtime when my dad will take over. Not sure whether it's mild concussion, a bug or just reaction from yesterday. They've sent him home with a bucket in case he was sick in the car. He's supposed to be going to his friend's house for a party tea tonight. He says, "Can I still go to the party?" I said, "Not really mate, you're poorly." He says, "I'll take my bucket with me." How can you answer that? I'm sure my mate will be well impressed if he turned up with a bucket in the middle of a tea party!

Right, I suppose i ought to do something seeing as I'm at home. I'll start by emptying the TD & WM and reloading the TD.

Catch you later

G&D- it will bubble, just give it chance. what ever you don't lift the lid of for the 1st 2 hours. what are you making?

I am struggling to stay on task and motivated today. I think it is because it's kitchen day and it is totally overwhelming just how much needs doing in there. I have been trying really hard and so far managed to get quite a bit done though but I am slacking now.
