Feeling realy fed up due to poor health, dh moaning all the time and dd1 being very hard work.
Dh expects the house to be spotless when he gets home from work, dd1 is jumping on the furniture like a mad child and i feel like i have given up (realy can't be bothered to moove from the sofa)

Please give me a kick and tell me to sort my life out

I feel like this alot, but DP doesn't moan at all - he just wants me to be happy and his little girl to be happy...

I would like a kick up the arse to get the housework done though

Yes, go out for the day. It is far too nice to be cleaning. Save that for a rainy day.

I'd recommend that you join this mad bunch. There is a daily weekday thread and a w/e one. the Friday FLY thread - we are very friendly and love to have new people join us

ok here's what to do- pack snacks and drinks,
grab coat and kids, and get out. Don't wait for lunch time.

If possible go somewhere dd can play without you having to join in much. Does the green have play equipment (for her) and a bench (for you)? soft play is ideal, don't bother about what you look like. The other mums probably feel the same. Incorporate a walk on the way if possible rather than driving door to door.

This will mean a) the house doesn't get any messier b) dd1 releases some energy c) you might feel a bit better for the air and exercise, and that you are doing your mummy job very very well agianst the odds today.

When you come back maybe dd1 will be ready to chill and you can do a bit if you feel like it, just the obvious very basic stuff that dh would notice. (just to shut him up for today). mine only notices food anyway.

Not at all Marne. I hope you have a lovely time out. I'm meeting up with a friend at her (immaculate) house after lunch. I'm working towards getting my house in order so that I can invite people over.

Have you had that eye infection checked out btw? I hope it gets better soon.
