<EEK> @ rats

We had mice in our house when I was a teenager and my stepbrother killed one by dropping a bookcase on it when he looking it see where it was hiding. He picked it up, the mouse ran out, he screamed and <squelch> . Effective but a bit messy.

Indith, I have 6 hours a week with no dcs in the house and it's still a tip. I had grand plans for that time - declutter and clean but it just disappears with no discernible change to the state of the house. It's bloody depressing but I am resigned to mess until 2011 when ds2 goes to school .

Good luck with the sleeping, will send over my spare sleep vibes.

AQ, glad things are finally getting easier for you - 4 under 5 including twins would be tough for everyone, you should be proud of yourself for surviving it and still being relatively sane.

DS . It's horrible when work stress interferes with home life. If you can afford it, maybe it's worth it for a bit?

Jabber, are you sorted with the new office now?

I've just finished my first wedding cake and I'm quite proud of it . It's on my profile.

We're rapidly running out of space here, next person to post has to start a new thread and link to it here..............

He's been on lactulaose for a while now but he keeps going through no poo phases.

Indith - have you got any lactulose? It softens their poo.

Daily

Mice AQ? Pah, they don't count, we had rats when ds was small <shivers> My friend has just evicted a mouse form her sofa, it was living in there for ages, you could hear it scratching around while you were sitting on it!

Dh sleeping in with dd for the next few nights <evil cackle> the girl shall sleep, I'm getting a tiny bit fed up of shoving my breasts at her 6 times a night.

Ds not pooing again, grr, he also had stupidly high temp today so whether he is ratty form lack of poo or from that I don't know. He kept going on the potty though then crying and doing nothing, always asking for a wee though and never a poo. <sigh>

Oh but I do love him, gentle, caring, funny, crazy boy that he is.

oh, dear dailystale Can you afford to leave? Anything else on the horizon?
Thanks re: clannettes I am finally enjoying having 4 children after a 1 year of it!
Please all stop talking about chocolate now, though
indith, pls come and see my house at about 5.30pm any day and you will feel so superior the unwashed sheets won't matter anymore We have a mouse eeek, I think it's the morsels of food the dt's throw all over the dining room that I sometimes can't find. Sigh.
