Hello Dylsmum, thankyou for the thread.
Mine are watching Thomas and Magical Railroad.
I am just making a cup of tea feeling a bit groggy..(as per usual)
and have written things in control diary.

Today Dh is at work all afternoon, so I think that means
music school am
followed by lunch here
and an afternoon of swimming

Also need to change the rest of the sheets slowly but surely this weekend. Did ds1's bed yesterday.

Hi All.

dylsmum - I have recently bought the fitness coach. Havent set it up yet though. Is it any good?

DH back today after a week away although he'll be jetlagged.

House not too bad although could do with running a hoover over the place.

[dylsmum1998]

maggie yes i love it, much harder than wii fit, although i've only had it a week so novelty hasnt yet worn off! the children love doing it too, very cute watching my 3 yr old do it with me.

we are off swimming again this morning so be back later
have a good day all

[swanriver]

cleared up whole kitchen, dw etc
feel ridiculously exhausted by this simple feat
made a medallion belt with dd
now going to brave violini practice with her
oh dh says he's off now and will be back at three I'm confused

[TheMadHouse]

Morning all

I have a very sore throat and woke the whole house with cramp last night, so it was four and the cat in the bed and the little one said roll over

Dyls Child free time - lovley

Maggie I too have bought it and not set it up £10 in Game at the moment

Prof Glad the meal was good

Swan Whats a medalion belt, sounds like something a 1970's hairy greek would wear

I am up but not with it, DH has done the morning stuff with the children

not sure of plans, as it is awful weather. We may go look at cabin type beds, I am bidding on one on e-bay.

galen How old did were yours when they first used them*wendy did you get a new oven?

[TheMadHouse]

Oh and re the diary it is really bad news, FIL got notification this morning that he will not be receiving any payments at all as he is not a secured creditor . DOnt know how they are going to manage really. it means that lots of things wont get done this year and worse

Things were just starting to look up for diary farmers, after BSE, Foot and mouth and really poor milk prices. I am so glad that they are older and that we are not farming TBH.

[Starbear]

epimum A friend's son has fits. This lead to her being very stressed too. Please, please get people to help and look after yourself too.
tmh I hope it all works out at the dairy.
dylsmum & Maggie Can you see a difference using wii fit?

[littleboyblue]

Hello all.
No FLYing here this weekend. I am child free until tomorrow afternoon. Woo-hoo! The boys are with my parents. Just got home from dropping them off, straight in pj's, feet up on sofa, think I may climb back into bed with dp but might get in the bath with my book, oh the choices!!!!!!
I cheated on my morning routine and didn't mop floors, oh well. I do however need to empty and soak the nappy wrapper and change oil in chip pan.

[Starbear]

littleboyblue Enjoy. I loved last weekend.
Washing in machine Done
Change my bed Done
Shower & dress me & ds Done

[swanriver]

What lovely parents LBB. Don't think I have ever ever got the weekend you describe in the last ten years, and don't think it is likely now...

Ho hum,
despite these envious feelings, weekend here is going very well. Dh is still at work.
We have rummaged our way through afternoon,
paperchains
played shop
pictures of Deathstar and furry hotwaterbottle
swiss roll making (ten minutes prep ten minutes cook) and 2 mins to eat smallslice left for dh
earthed up potatoes
planted out a 3 courgette plants in a morrison's recyclable bag
broke up 2 minor fights
scrapbooking for ds1
now ds1 wants to play on the electric keyboard so I will assemble it...

Kitchen is a cosy muddle/tip again.
Swimming at 4.30 I think.

[TheMadHouse]

Afternoon - where has the day gone

We went out and bought a few bits of shopping - not much, but the boys have been terrible I hate it when they misbehave

DS2 came home and proceeded to have a masive tantrum

DS1 just wont do as he is told

I NEED to escape and do the ironing

[Starbear]

swanriverWhat a lovely vision. Sadly, Ds is in his room alone because he just won't play with his toys at all on his own not for 5 mins! I've made him a fish tank out of mega bricks, read him stories etc.. I feel a little mean He has to learn to play a little on his own. We are going out to see friends with children as soon as DH get home from my Mum's after finishing touches to decorating.
Dishwasher empty Done
clothes drying Done
Another load on Done
shopping away Done
ds Still creeping in and out of his room for a chat!
Now just dress & relax!

[wendyredkitchenredspots]

hello, where has the day gone indeed!
DC up at 5.30 they seem to have started with the morning wakings again. As a a result all of us have been lethargic and in a daze - except DD who has had a sleep, of course!
epimum you're amazing coping with all that.
Mad my two are the same! No oven yet - can't afford it atm and anyway, we had two single ovens anyway a strange thing about this house we inherited. Pondering a double oven or just another single one not sure yet.
We are off to a wedding reception tonight - kids sleeping over at grandma's house hurray!! DH is very grumpy though and I am pre menstrual so it won't be much fun in that sense
BB tomorrow

[Starbear]

wendy go for a double oven that grills too! So useful honest! must go and get dressed!

[epimum]

afternoon all
wendyred thankyou
well i've tided downstairs done some dinner and just got back from taking dc's to a birthday party, ds was a little sod i dont know whats got into him, so i've come home quite stressed,
oh well just made me and dh a cup of tea always seems better after a cup of tea
have a lovely afternoon bbfn

[TheMadHouse]

Wendy Hope you have a nice night, tis a full moon on the rise that is the issue with the children. Tomorrow night at 18.00 is full moon - argggggggggggggggg

I have done some ironing and popped it into the correct rooms to put away later.

We have been in the loft and resurected the old VCR to watch star wars on - we have the first and the last three on tape - rest on DVD. DS1 is getting in to the clone wars on TV, so we thought it was time to show him it all Swan it was you that brought it back to mind.

So I cleaned behind the TV in the playroom
Dusted the DVD and Sky box
hoovered the floor

I am just sorting out dinner

Chicken, chips and garlic dough balls (leftovers from our chicken - rest will make a lovley curry for Monday)

I am contenplating getting out my sewing machine and attempting to make a door stop for the conservatory doors - will see what fabric mum has got

Will be back later maybe

[swanriver]

Had a GOOD swim. Played lots with kids, but only managed 10 lengths (sort of).
TBH, TMH and Wendy, mine have melted down quite a lot this afternoon too. And I've been exceedingly ratty, all this supermum is just a veneer. The minute I found there was not a SINGLE clear surface to put the piano keyboard on, began to seethe with rage and resentment about their incredible messmaking abilities (and mine of course) and lack of helpfulness, poor los. PMT too, no doubt.

Ah well, Dh IS in a good mood, so he defused things on his return at 4.30.
Tidied kitchen and playroom with him watchingkids, and then got to pool at 5.00 with dcs - better than nothing...

Epimum, hope your cup of tea was a strong one.
Grouchy was your jam rhubarb by chance?
Scatty, hope museum proved a lovely break from being indoors.

[swanriver]

Oh yes, Starbear, I think it is personality rather than siblings - dd cannot stand to play by herself either, and follows me round the house suggesting projects...I have to have lots of playdates for her.

[Tortoise]

Hello all.
Hope everyone is ok?

Had a really busy day yesterday pulling everything out of the cupboard. Have photographed everything to sell and put it all on here. Also weighed everything as i photographed it so i can work out postage cost and made a list. Then put it all back in the cupboard.
Have started a thread on MN for sale for anyone wanting anything before i start listing on Ebay.

[scattyspice]

Hi all.

Yes I've been a screaming harpie today as well !

Went to town with dd this morning to buy stuff to make presents for mum's birthday.

Dh took DS to the climbing wall, he did a bit of climbing but is wiped out now. Dh also took him to McDonalds to feed him up.

This afternoon I helped ds sew a glasses case and dd make a bracelet for Mum. Then dh took them to the park while I did some sewing in the garden .

Star - my ds is hopeless at entertaining himself (tsk), he gets bored very easily.

Epimum - hope the consultant can help on Mon. It must be very difficult for all of you.

Mad - sorry about your fil's job.

BB tomorrow.
