Snap again. I have to get the house looking sparkly clean and tidy for Thusday, but I think that if I do it now, I will only have to di it all again on Tues/Wednesday.

Ah yes i saw your thread on possible house swap. Good luck with that.
I need to tidy for my Dad visiting. Not seen him since he and my Mum and Brother moved to Turkey nearly 3 yrs ago. I was always the messy one so i would like it to look tidy! But like you say it will be a mess in 5 mins of kids being about.

Silly question...
Why are you bored?

yes and no! It will be hard saying goodbye again. And we won't see him for long. He is only coming over to sort out their stored items. Shame Mum can't come too.

Bloody rain. Hope you don't get too wet.

Dd's still aren't back.

It's a shame his visit isn't longer T. Any chance of you visiting them any time soon ??

No not really any chance at all. I would need passports for me and 4 kids. Plus having never flown before, i don't fancy 4 hour flight with 4 kids on my own.

ElenorRigby Are you a single parent? It is really lonely and boring being alone night after night. I have things i could do but i have been on the go all day so i don;'t really feel like doing them.
