Laundry day
Update menu list
Finish the darned course!
Get Travel Kettle from Lidl (I think they had Heinz beans on offer too...? or was that last week?)

Got my new bed coming today :j and the sun is shining so I might just use that as an excuse to not achieve much off the list today.
As long as I get the laundry and studying done I don't mind. The boys can clean their own rooms and the gamesroom, they make them messy, not me!!!

Ok, I am studying now, honest.....:o

Morning ladies, nice to see you joined us Elektra King:D
Any word from Pink Fairy? How was the interview?
Johanne, hope you are ok. I know what you mean about the mother and toddler type groups, even the mother and baby groups from when i had LO were very cliquey. Even though we'd all joined at the same time, i felt really left out as everytime they met up LO seemed to have a hospital appt. Wish i'd kept in contact with them though. If you ever want to talk just give me a shout.
Hope everyone else is good, hows the ankle Tia?

Johanne, I think most feel a bit unsure about mother & toddler type groups, since we always assume everyone else knows what they are doing and thathey are really confident , early motherhood is fab for making you feel insecure. (others might disagree)
Heck, I feel like the odd one out even talking to people on line, how sad is that.

(((hugs))) Johanne. Remember that we are here if you need us.

Hllo Electra King welcome to flying. remember to try and do one step at a time.

Well DD has playschool this morning so I am taking DS to McD for breakfast just me and him. Think he will enjoy it. Then we can come home and play with his toys. After that it is time to swap children and pick up DD from playschool and take DS to playschool.

Anyway will try and do some of the list today but can't be bothered right now. Handy thing with DS and DD not playing in their rooms there isn't much to tidy up . Dread to think what it will be like when they are older :rolleyes:

Helo Germish_se Agree with you about Motherhood.

Electra_King

Quick post as lo is awake and wants his breakfast!

Thank you all for the lovely welcome! :beer:

Have not done anything off the list yet but have managed to get up, make bed etc.

johanne,
:wave: I don't know you at all but I have the same problems as you with getting out and about with lo and making new friends. If you ever need to talk please feel free to pm me! There is another website not sure if I can mention it on here or not which is very good but I will send you a pm just in case.

Bye for now.

mumofjusttwo

Hello Electra. Good morning.

:wave:

germish_se

Mumofjust2, mine still don't make a nmess in their rooms and they're 14, they spread their mess evenly though the house so noone feels left out!

Electra King, you've already done more than me!

I am here under the pretence that I'm doing my course...

:hello:Hi confused newbie - how's it going this week??;) (You can't sneak in here unnoticed)

:hello:Hi and welcome to Electra King

lil_me - have a good trip. Don't do so much today that you're too tired to enjoy it!

pigpen - I'm eagerly awaiting details of the courses that you're considering!

taurus - just ordered three books from Playtrade...:D for about the same as one new one from Waterstones.

johanne - some mother and baby groups are more cliquey than others. Just go along, smile and say 'hi'. If you don't like it, try another one. I didn't like a few of the groups, but was very happy with the NCT group, and ended up working as a volunteer for them for about 12 years! I still do the Nearly New Sale, helped by my youngest NCT baby (who's going to be 14 on Monday). Your health visitor should have a list of local groups.

I have to go do the weekly shopping this morning. I'm still sniffing and sneezing, and have a headache, so fairly inactive day planned here. The children can shovel out their own rooms.
