hiya
how is everyone. welcome to all the new posters especially nothern grotbags....i love that name - it describes me to a tee at the moment:rotfl:.

little question....what time do you all get your school age children up for school? we have to leave the house at 845am and i get them up at 720am. morning are becoming more and more of a nightmare. am i giving them long enough? i normally wake them up at 720 and they can lie in bed until 730 to wake up.

help before they drive me even more insane than i am at the moment .

johanne - had to say again that little sarah is beautiful xx

thanks chasing butterflies....so in theory i'm giving them enough time i just need to boot them up the bum more. i wouldn't mind but they're in bed by 730 to 8 every night so they get loads of sleep. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - feel better now

Morning all

Mudbath DS2 is always up by 7 he leaves at 8:10, DS1 I wake if he is not up by 7:20 he leaves at 8:20. DS3 I wake if he is not up by 7:45 we leave at 8:45. What is making the morning a nightmare? I do the pack lunches, DW, WM whilst they have breakfast. DS3 reads to me whilst I get dry after the shower. Mornings are for multitaking here.

Welcome all newbies and good luck.

Lovely and sunny here - a bit chilly, I've just cycled to town and done a few chores. Wanted a cuppa but the milko still hasn't been. I'm not impressed I'd have brought milk whilst out if I'd known.

Going to finish my dalies and then decide do I do the kitchen or garden - bit knackered after the cycle at the moment.

Johanne she's gorgeous! I love newborns. Now I want another one . DH doesn't though :-(

Did most of the kitchen last night when everyone else was watching Bear Gorilla on Ch4. Got a friend popping round soon so it's just as well I got it mostly done. Just need to mop the floor.

Been really good and started organising my recipes - they've all been on bits of paper or card so I'm going to type out the good ones on A4 and file them in my household file. Then I'm going to go through my cookery books and get rid of any which don't have anything interesting in. I'm also doing my mealplan, so feeling a bit more organised. Without trying I've got meals for the next two weeks, and loads left in that I can use, so hopefully won't spend much this month.

We have to be out by 8:45. 9 minutes walk to school (I timed it!!)

I get them to bed between 7-7:30pm.. I get the clothes out before I go to bed. When they get up they get dressed.. some get their own breakfast! I kick hubby out of bed at 8.. he feeds the others and I brush their hair and off we go!
