    Morning everyone.

    we have sun too! how exciting. It made everyone else go out though, and it was really busy when i took the boys out.

    shell thinking of you and sending good luck vibes

    jjef nice to see you back - i am coping just about most of the time. The boys are being fairly good for me. Sam's now 4 weeks and growing quickly. :rolleyes:

    julie congrats on your wedding anniversary

    anw's mum hugs to you and yours for friday. Hope the trip goes well today.

    I've not done too bad this morning to say i was awake till about 2, and then woken up at 6am. I did the night feeds asleep - no idea how long Sam fed for or anything - just let him get on with it as my eyes would not open.

    Achieved today:
    • packed baby bag
    • took Sam to baby clinic to get weighed like HV asked me to, only she wasn't there - he now weighs 10Ib8oz
    • brought the boys home, sorted Charlie a snack
    • picked up all of Sam's clothes that were lying around downstairs and put in WM - need to find some extra bits to make this a full load soon
    • hoovered pantry/kitchen/dining room/living room
    • wiped the front of the fridge and freezer as they were acky.
    I'm debating going over to my parents house later - i've tried ringing a couple of times as sister said my nephew was ill with a fever and rash so i don't want to just turn up in case he is still ill and we get it.

    Charlie has been so good today. I had a woman comment to me at baby clinic how good he was being as he just sat and let me do what i needed. He also walked across the busy car park holding my hand. So proud of him. :D

    Right, lets see if i can quickly squeeze in making lunch for me and C before S wants feeding again. Leftover soup from yesterday - yum! Me and DH enjoyed it last night so looking forward to it now. :T

    Michelle, x

    Ok have been productive (well sort of lol!). Have written a review and posted it on my 3 review sites so that will get rated and hopefully earn me some money lol. So am off to do as much as I can in the kitchen in the next hour!

    Michelle - a big hug for charlie for being such a big boy ((())), I can remember when DD2 was little and DD1 was good like that, it really makes your day!

    Right am off, will be back later with an update lol!

    Afternoon,
    Hope you're all flying!
    Well, I didn't quite make it on-line yesterday but still managed to achieve a bit.
    I'm trying to be good and not use the internet too much so I'm not switching on until midday. DS is doing more days at playschool and a couple of times I've dropped him off, come home, sat down at the computer and before I know it I have to go back and fetch him and I've done nothing but surf........!!:rolleyes:

    So this is what's left of this weeks list.....

    Wipe over the cupboards and large appliances
    Clean out drawers and filters

    3. Fill a binbag for charity shop!!
    4. Deweb the downstairs of the house!!
    Now, todays doesn't look too good but in my defense it is my bedchanging day so I've done that, 2 loads of washing, hoovered upstairs and cleaned all the upstairs windows.
    I'm just finishing my lunch and sneaking a bit of chocolate while DS is in the other room (well, it's bad for him;)) and I'll make a start on dinner. Chicken nuggets tonight and DS loves helping with the dipping bit, flour, egg and breadcrumbs.

    Bye for now
    xx

    The Meem is having her bladder scan on Friday after school.. very short notice but apparently it is a really long waiting list and when she got a cancellation she rang me first.. bizarre.. you'd think she would have contacted the person next without an appointment..

    Tiddles resumed vacuuming.. wonder what she is like at sorting the laundry.. ;)

    The next round of HHC's...

    1:30-2pm
    2:15-2:45pm

    Then I have to go collect the grubs..

    SSL - have you sold yet?

    Hi jjef, wondered where you were but figured you'd be very busy with the new house. How are you enjoying village living?

    Nope, havent sold, and at the moment doesnt look like I will. Unfortunately I am legally bound to buying the bung (did you know that solicitors can sign missives on your behalf :confused: ) So I'm looking at renting out this house as its lovely and newish and has heating :D Might rent out the bung as well and sleep in a tent :rolleyes: The good news is that the rental market is very strong here so I should be able to get a nice family in fairly quickly. If I dont sell by the end of June, I'm definately renting out. As I've only had 2 viewers in total, I dont really expect to but you never know. I've gone to a FP and I'm paying the stamp duty for the buyers. Hey ho, life is never boring :D

    All the washing is dry, folded and put away. I've put the pillow cases and duvet cover on and when the cat finally gets up I'll put the sheet on and make it all up!

    Back grass cut and paths swept.

    Dinner cooked and cleared away.
