Hi everyone...
how are you all???

I haven't been in here for ages. I was trying to cut down my time online cause I wasn't getting anything done, but I've been having a small catch up and thought I'd say 'hi'.

I've sorted out my own weekly list which has come in handy and I'm trying to declutter a bit as I go. I did 3 boxes from the loft today. I would have done more, but no more room in the wheelie bin and a friend is borrowing the trailer.

Also been listing a bit on ebay, but may give it a rest except for really decent stuff cause I listed 31 items last week and only 5 sold. seems alot of work for not very much. Think I may just charity shop stuff instead....

Will try and catch up more regularly.....:D

Ok - here's the list so far. Did quite a bit yesterday. Not really done much today except my Tesco shop. Think I'll do the bathroom tonight after kids are in bed and get hubby to tidy the kitchen whilst I do it. Should only take 15-20mins to complete the list. MIL getting DD1 from school so suppose I'd better get a wash on, empty DW and have a think what to have for tea.

Congrats to Auntie Pigpen!!! (and mum-to-be too of course)!

Hello to everyone, especially newbies - still slowly catching up on the thread.

Off to do a little bit before DD1 gets home and DD2 gets up.

Right.. I've done nothing practical but I have parcelled up my 14 parcels to post and got them loaded onto the buggy ready to fling later between collecting the girls and collecting the 2 bigger ones from after school club.

the other WM has finished so I'll go hang that out.. and fold some more and reload the machine.. I don't seem to do anything excpet washing in this weather!!! It is lovely being able to get it out on the line though... mind you it hasn't made much difference the TD is still on with all the socks and undies!!

Quick cuppa first and I'm going to make DS1 fill the 3 empty laundry baskets from the stench on his bedroom floor.. and if it isn't done tonight.. I'll go do it tomorrow.. then he will have a reason to hate me.. he hasn't got any exams until Monday so it won't hurt!

Apparently according to DD1 (aged 5) I hate her and love her sister more. Currently throwing herself on my bed sobbing I hate her.

The reason for this is because I let her have a fab ice lolly and a biscuit but wouldnt let her have another one! What a meanie I am.:rolleyes:

shell2001

Right HHC for me 5 till 5.30 to include doing spuds for tea.

Littles both bouncing on trampoline with girl from across the road so should have half hours peace.

Seems I do love DD1 after all

embb we didn't end up going, DP decided he wanted to go, said I couldn't go to the other shops so I said he could go on his own, so now he's gone with his Mother and gone shopping with her..............grump!

Little ones gone home, his Mam brought his baby walker and he hurtled around here in it :rotfl: he can hardly move it at home on the carpet but with all the hard floors we have downstairs he had great fun, the dogs were horrified, the baby could 'get them'! :rotfl: Kept Megan out of his way, Luke can get out of the way quick enough himself.

Home, after DS1 threw a strop about coming to the park, DS2 goes every night after school DS1 usually refuses and stays home with Dad but him being out he couldn't so out of routine he was in a proper little bad mood. House isn't too bad because I did most things this morning so relaxing for an hour (well just under) before taking DS2 to football.

boddy - what an awful thing to happen to your friend, they didn't find his car near chester le street by any chance did they?

Hi all, had a full day invigilating so tired now.

Ash hope things are better with your boss
G&B hope your LO is better - could it be food related?
Polly hope your cooker produces a lovely meal tonight
Nicki good luck tonight, remind me which sups you are taking
Frankie hi hun, nice of you to stop by.

Tomorrow I intend to spend the whole day in the family room
Might try to do the bath room whilst DS3 is in the bath later

I think it might be She has had it on and off since January now:eek: The doctors have tested her for an infection or bug, everything has come back clear. They told me it was probably just 'Toddler Diarrhoea' which i googled and the symptoms dont really fit? They then said she would be referred to a specialist, we are still waiting for that to materialise:mad:
