The children slept till 5.50 and then I kicked DH out of the bed

They are all dressed and fed - thanks DH

star you have inspired me to do something. i am very tired this morning. dd went to bed nicely last night, thought great. when i checked on her just after 8pm i found she had one of her hand bags over her shoulder and under neath her, so i move her to get it off and woke her . she then didn't go back to sleep til about 1am. i left her in the bedroom thinking she'll go off in a mo. but she didn't. at 11.30 thought i'll just go to bed and she'll go off. but she had put herself in my bed. if i had got in she would have started to play. ds is at his dads so i got in his bed instead. i read til after midnight waiting for her to give in but must have fallen asleep. i woke at half 1 to find her asleep on ds's rug. thought well i am not gonna wake her again so just put a blanket on her and left her there . about 4 am she got in ds's bed with me (its only a 2'6 bed) i slept lightly between then and 8 am when i gave up and got up.
am feeling tired now. sorry its so long but i feel better for having typed it out. i need to keep busy today or i am going to become tired grumpy mummy

Hello.

I hope it is the kitchen next week....I have spent all morning cleaning tiles!

Lots of days out planned for next week.
The only way I can stay vaguely sane and keep the mess under control in the hols is to be out most of the time

Hope all are well.....

hi all
Not been around much lately, RL getting in the way again ! Things are OK, I'm a bit fed up, had my period now for over two weeks! Before I had DS I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and as infertile because of it, I cured myself (so I believe, anyway!) with diet, yoga, vitamins and supplements and rest - within 2 months my periods returned after over a year without them. So I think that my body is returning to the PCOS thing now after 2.5 years after DD ifyswim and I need to re-correct it myself. So (deep breath) cut right back on the sugar (that includes alcohol!), only wholemeal everything, loads of water, buy some supplements and back to 30 mins yoga per day ... I'll keep you posted!
Off to Durham tomorrow for a few days to stay with a friend (Sorry TM, a manic time whilst we're there catching up with loads of friends etc) so won't be around til prob Thursday.
Take care everyone

Sorry Dyls, it is funny like an episode of 'Allo Allo'
I know its late but I had to share. I've just sorted our family photos to go straight into albums! It's only taken me almost 5 years.
I'm working and away on Wednesday so the following Monday the albums will be on my list. (Might buy the albums in Barnstaple)

Dyls, I love your broken w it's really quite fun to hear Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle narrating you in my mind.
