Well I've had a productive day haven't I :rolleyes: Mind you two coats of paint in DD's room AND I've put alot of stuff in her cupboard and re-scheduled delivery of the bed for tomorrow between 10am-2pm (oh and a DVD or 2 from another friend who suprised me last night by telling me he'd "done" them and was sending them with the friend who is bringing the bed Rock music a plenty to drown my dance music loving neighbours out with :D ) and argued with ex via MSN & text Now the battery on his laptop has died and he's out for a meal with his parents & sister so we can't even sort out what the arguement was about :rolleyes:

My brain is frazzled, I need sleep but it's completely pointless me trying to go to bed to sleep before DD is asleep so I'm stuck doing nothing in particular until then :mad: I don't think my brain can take finances or ebay so some mindless messing on the web I think :wave:

lil_me

nicki, babies smell great don't they. My first visit after little Matthew was born I could smell it as soon as I walked through the door. The smell of a new life If you're on about the test that begins with please Shh mines overdue.....I don't wanna go!

soappie, sounds FAB! I'm also a little bit of a Red Arrows geek, my sons now the same, he's mad about them, he hates the noise of the airshow so much because of his Autism but will stay all day coping (well ok pretending to) just to see them, then asks to go home :rotfl: ! We were travelling down the south last year after the airshow, stopped at a services and the guy who ran the info tent for the Red Arrows spotted my son before he spotted them, must have remembered him from being the one who asked the most questions :rotfl:

ChasingButterflies

Hi everyone,

Mudbath - hope everything goes ok at the hospital *fingers crossed*

Playroom sparkles

Bathroom sparkles

I am working on the rest :rolleyes:

off for a HHEC see how many of the half finished listings I can sort (and no it will be nowhere near 26 )

Food first!

lil_me

ChasingButterflies don't forget 5p listing day on Thursday, I nearly listed a few things tonight then remembered. Got some tankinis left in the drawer and it's getting a better time to sell them I think.

kazmeister

I just lost a massive post with all the replies and hellos from today so may have to do ita again later :mad: but in the mean time guess I better go do something

How old are the twins pp and how do you manage? I met up with my cousins last week who had babies one week apart. None of us could imagine looking after twins. I was struggling to hold the two of them together!

Mine are 9 now so much easier than when they were babies..or toddlers for that matter.

I have to say though, I've noticed just how blissfully quiet the house has been this week whilst they have been at school!!

The first year of their lives passed by in a sleepless blur. And then the toddler years were filled with endless emptying of cupboards, fridges or anything else they could destroy, ripping off of or drawing on of wallpaper.

One of their favourite pastimes was seeing what they could flush down the loo.

Then there was the time they tried to repaint the bathroom, and when they tried to make a cake on the kitchen floor

Aah the memories:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've just got back from a jog around the tarn with them (not my intention to jog, but was trying to keep up with them on their scooters!)

50 mins til their bed time.. so warm milk, storytime and hopefully a bit of peace (and a glass of wine) will follow:D

• Binbag dance.. fling a binbag of rubbish.. I don't care where it goes so long as it is out of your house!.. and that doesn't mean you can stash it in the shed or garage or the car boot!
• [STRIKE]Make certain ALL the house clocks are saying the right time.. replace any batteries that need replacing![/STRIKE] Even did the car...
• I think the children who have been most helpful today should decide what you are having for dinner.. and that doesn't mean a takeaway.. we will consider that for the weekend if you are doing a fabulous job!!! Maybe if they are big enough they can help or better still cook for you!!

Still got to make tea, do dishes and get stuff ready for work tomorrow, and also have a shower. Can't really be bothered to cook, so may resort to frozen chips...

Pigpen - once you've factored in the cost of accommodation against the fee charged - what's the job worth?

If it's worth doing then send him packing

OMG!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Is that a boy thing do you think? My neighbour's grandson did that. There is a fab email doing the rounds heading up 'When it's ok to say the F word' and there's a pic of 2 small boys painting a living room, incl the plasma tv :eek: I printed it off and sent it as a get well card when he was in hospital. He nearly did himself a mischief with laughing
