Morning star
My to do list looks simislar to yours. I'm rushing around trying to do most of it now so we can go park later.
Flat looks like a complete s*^t-pit. Why? Because I have done sweet FA all weekend. Not even routines

My ironing board broke, so getting a new one tomorrow. The pile is huge!

Morning all

Not a great start here TBH. DH did not put the lid on DS1's cup of milk correctly, cue a full beaker of milk all over me nad my bed at 6.30 this morning.

I have a load of bedding in the washer, but have the duvet to wash and the towels.

SO we have been up since then, both boys are fractious. I have a headache, due to lack of sleep. DS1 had earache most of the night.

I feel like crying, but I am not going to. I am going to pull myself together and deal.

Also I bust the sewing machine last night - arggggggggggggggggg

The washer is fixed! YAY! I can do the washing! Repair cost much less than a new machine.

Grouchy goes to collect the washing together with a big grin on face

ds is in a vile, violent and destructive mood. Does anyone know how to get ingrained ink out of a pine coffee table

done
played with ds and attempted to read to him
just packing book up to post

need to try and get ds to sleep but the last attempt resulted in me being smacked in the face and kicked in the stomach.

Off to buy ds his first pillow and let him choose a new cover for his duvet this afternoon
