to upstairs and strap both DS2 and 3 to their beds to make them go to sleep?????

[FAQinglovely]

DS3 (nearly 21 months) is taking a while to settle tonight (nothing too unusual about that). However DS2 (5yrs) who shares a room with him is also taking ages to settled - usually not too much of a problem but I can hear him (bunk bed that squeaks a lot when he moves around) moving around CONSTANTLY. This in tun is keeping DS3 awake even longer

I have housework to do I have studying to do and I can't flipping get my head down and do it because all I can hear in the faint background of the monitor is the 2 of them

Can also offer a fag FAQ but sssh cos dh doesn't know 'bout the smoking......

awww bless ya - think I've got enough left in RL for 2 (maybe 3?) tonight and one for the morning - eeek!

Are they unstrapped yet?

yea think DS1 unstrapped them this morning. They were little angels this morning, I was knackered and they successfully entertained DS3 until nearly 10am so I got a lie-in (all be it a rahter noisy one LOL).

PLus DS1 came downstairs to watch TV early in the morning and tidied up for me - picked all the rubbish up, piled up the dirty washing, put all the toys away - was a lovely suprise when I got up

is your ds1 avaliable for hire?

glad the tape worked

FAQ - a lady on my PN thread has a special nail gun to keep her DD2 in bed. Will not name her though, but could ask her to lend it to you? (for any future bad nights)
