Apologies to anyone I missed!

Nice to see you again Aria. 🙂
Sounds like a lovely evening Petal. 💛
Oh, Winter, I am sending tonnes of sympathy. 💐

Raining here and it's in the forecast for the next week. It's 8c.

Havoc says arm still hurts after yesterday's covid/flu shots, but is running around with Baby now.

I've sorted clothes' laundry into 4 piles. One is on now. Have finally folded and put away clean and dry clothes sitting for 3 days. 🙈

My mum's IV is almost done and I'm going to finish my toast then attend to it.

Was having a very strange dream involving going to my old office, wearing an old, long black suede coat and looking for Costco in Coquitlam, a suburb I rarely visit. It looked like Las Vegas and I was astounded at all the gold, marble and cream. 🤔

Baby just peed in the potty. We're all 🥳🎉🎊

Have just hung up a large load of laundry. Have got another load in and carefully counted each item to fit the remaining spots on the drying rack. The bathroom shower curtain rod is maxed. 😂

It lovely and peaceful on this rainy day. I've kept the tv off and the kids are now playing fairly well together after me referring here and there.

To do: vacuum, wash floors, clean bathroom and make dinner. Unsure what I'll tackle today, though

Had a lovely very tired day today

I echo your friend @Mumtobabyhavoc , I felt like shit this morning after 3 glasses of wine last night, which really hit me quickly!

Thank you - haven't heard anything positive or negative about them so 😬 hopefully all good

Re dd's teacher - i seem to attract women who hate me, its so weird 😄, but what has dd done?! I am being super nice and reserved, as i know my bubbliness isnt for everyone but that, and a couple of other comments have been unprovoked and weird.

I put down in writing the day dd refused to go in with her, hopefully she'll leave her alone.

Glad potty training is going well 🩷

Love to you all, get well soon @WintersFrog ! X

The evening didn’t quite work out as planned as we had a big power cut @Mumtobabyhavoc ! Fortunately only a couple of hours. Very stormy here.

Sorry @petalpower power cuts are never nice x

After a late lunch just after 3pm I sent everyone off to nap around 4:30pm. Havoc went without protest and was asleep within minutes. 🥳
My mum retreated as well and has just dozed off.
I put all the towels etc on to wash together, which I generally avoid, but set it for a heavy wash, so it'll go almost two hours. I'll then put it through a regular wash on hot with vinegar.
I've started dinner and have red and yellow bell peppers sliced and tossed in evoo, garlic powder and some salt and cauliflower tossed in evoo, salt and Chinese 5 spice on a tray roasting in the oven and corn on the cob boiling on the stove.
I'm going to heat a pan with the oil from sun-dried tomatoes and some of the tomatoes, baby kale, left-over pasta and chicken and feta for the main.
I might go crazy and clean the bathroom if Baby falls asleep.

Morning all! Thank you all for the sympathy 💕 I am feeling a great deal better this morning. Coffee tastes foul though but I've stuck enough of those covid things up my nose to last me a life time so no plans to do it again (previous job had staff doing them daily for a year, then twice weekly) I've made it out to the garden to sit in the breezy morning under a sleeping bag and have only just noticed that the clocks have gone back. Didn't even cross my mind last night. Thank goodness for electronic devices 🤦‍♀️

Annoying about the power cut @petalpower I have no doubt that you were well prepared though. Hope things at school start to be more straightforward @mumofoneisonozempic 🫂

I am wilting already so I'll leave it at best wishes to all 💕

Hi all- sending love and hugs to all who need it.

I won't post, just very tired. Insomnia is an arse.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all, apologies I seem to have fallen off the thread. I wasn't getting notifications so lost you all.
Half term for us, we are hunkered down in a severe weather warning with warnings for gale force winds plus localised flooding. Wuhoo for the holidays!
Clocks changed last night so the dc are fast asleep, I'm debating if we're going out for breakfast as planned in all our waterproofs.

I'll join you on the insomnia train Lobelia. 🙄
I just finished choosing pics from my phone library and ordering prints for Havoc's school project. Teacher didn't specify size(s) afaik, so I just got them all 3.5x5, the smallest, about 2/3 the size of a phone for ref.
Before that I was on the school pic site choosing and ordering Havoc's school pics.
I managed to vacuum, so just need to wash floors and clean the bathroom then most of the basic chores are done.
Raining here, heavily at times with wind gusts. It's 8c.

Hello to @RunningKatie 🙂
Glad you're on the up Winter. 💛

Ok. Must. Get. To. Sleep.
(listening to podcasts...)

Good morning all. Very windy and fresh here today but bright and sunny.

Sending healthy, healing and energy vibes to all that need them.

Didn’t get too much done yesterday here but did do some planning and lists. As my friend is coming from Australia for Christmas I want to give the spare room a bit of a “glow up”. Not major decorating but might paint the wall behind the bed. And will buy new bedding. Furniture, carpet, blinds and curtains are all various shades of cream/white so I feel it needs warming up a bit and a bit of contrast.

Before I do that though I need to continue my linen cupboard/wardrobe and spare room decluttering. So did a bit of a brain dump list and have started this morning.

Dishwasher and kitchen done. DS’s laundry is on second load. Cleared off coat rack in utility room for winter jackets. Repaired my winter duvet where the seam was coming apart. Hand washed two jumpers. Not convinced any better for them than using the hand wash cycle on the machine though. This afternoon I will do a basket of ironing and a menu plan for the week.

Have a great Sunday all.
