    I am popping in while both boys are asleep. We've had a busy one today. We were out the house for 9am to go to playgroup, where i met my 2 sisters, and we had a lovely time. My sisters then asked me to go to my parents house for lunch with them, so i did, and caught up with my grandad and my aunty.

    Mum's westie was quite poorly. She has an ingrown claw that they haven't sorted out, and it looks like it is infected. She was shaking and had a fever, but as she is an old lady now of 13, it needs sorting today. I got the delightful job of trying to give her some medicine to lower her temp, and as they didn't have any aspirin i gave her a syringe of calpol. Luckily she is good tempered and didn't bite me. Hopefully she will not have anything worse than that, as my dad rang my mum at work to tell her, and she was really upset. She managed to get a vets appointment though.

    So we got fed there, and then both boys fell asleep in the car on the way home, so they are napping now till about 4ish when i will get them up and change DS1 for the birthday party, and as it is at a pub with a play area, we get tea out too, so an absolute bonus for me. :beer: :j

    I have done a couple of bits while the boys sleep:
    • put some of DHs clothes away (needed to move the travel cot to do it.
    • sorted out 2 loads of DHs clothes to wash
    • got WM on with bathroom mats from yesterday - wish i had remembered to do that this morning
    • repacked baby bag for going out (including birthday candles as sis didn't have any and was going to buy some so i saved her the pennies)
    • got changed myself for the party as DS1 covered me in chocolate after grandad gave him it
    • laid out clothes for DS1 for the party
    • washed up dishes from this morning
    • wiped one kitchen side
    • watered all of my plants
    • opened the post
    I could be doing some ironing or something but i'm not cos i am tired, and i will get all hot and sweaty and that won't be a good look for the party.

    I could do some internety things - listed 6 things on amazon last night, but have more to do, and we opened DS2 a Child trust fund last night, so gradually i am getting organised, :D

    Gosh that was a ramble.

    Michelle, x

    Alrighty then - where do I sign up!!!

    Any excuse to make a list and cross things off it is worth the effort in my book - when does Thursday's list get posted? Did bedroom stuff at weekend so may squeeze in some of Tuesday's bathroom tasks in tonight.

    Are the same rooms done on the same day every week? I might have to stick to level one Mon-Fri and do some catching up at the weekend otherwise I'll always be using it as an excuse not to sit and study...
