Coffee machine on, Julia any off those flpajacks left, or shall I nip into the Tea shop for some doughnuts.

Oh dear, poor you! How about getting the big ones to help the little ones put on a show? They can get the little ones dressed up and the big ones can make invites for you.

You could put a basket on the floor and let them roll the ball into it as well or draw chalk circles in the wall outside and they have to hit the target with the ball

Thanks for tips.

The throw thing is a bug bear of mine as the two little ones have constantly snotty noses, and rub them on the sofa, so if the throws are on then they can be taken off and the snot washed out, but the kind of fabric my sofa is it stains easily and it looks a mess when it gets snot on it.

saltire - Can you not give them a sheet or duvet cover to play with? They might even turn it into a tent.

OK most of my jobs now done I'm having a large coffee. Just need to bring in dried washing and put out the next load to dry. Then back to collect DD from scholl and take her to Rainbows.

I think i'll join you for a cuppa, i havent done much today.

Dd2 fell asleep on the living room floor at 11.30am while i was on the phone to the Housing people - shehadn't even had her lunch of been changed but she was flat out so i took her up to bed - she's still there, what ime shall i wake her to feed and change befor i leave for school run at 3pm? And am i bad mummy for allowing her to drop to sleep on the floor?

I need to hoover but see little point until dd2 has been fed tbh.

Went to the beach but god the wind was cold!

LMG - that is the only way I can get my dd (16mos) to sleep is to have ready to drop, same for bedtime at night. So.. answer is no!

We took mindee 2 to playgroup, then had two hours with his sister, mindee1 and my 2 DSes at a soft play area, and then picked mindee 2 up from nursery and went to park for 45 minutes. Now home and mindee 2's sister is wanting to go in garden. I however don't, so she is now colouring in her 6 th disney princess sheet, she wants to do painting again after this. She won't sit still, she's like a bloody duracell bunny. I tried to get them to watch a DVD earl8ier, she wanted Hunchback of Notre dame, so i put it on and still she wouldn't sit still, she wouldn't listen to stories either,always on the go and talking incessantly the whole time.
I'm going to need a vodka or 6 tonight

LOL here, have a bottle as a gift, you sound like you really deserve it

I have a confession Really bad, well not really, really bad, but it could have been! Not sure I should tell....

Don't forget I am PCC, I am a friend, just with a different name! Its really me, I have the salsa hips to prove it!

Hello ladies phew what a day

Mindee 1 arrives, DSs to school, meet mindee 2 at venue for music group, whizz home after music, lunch, play, colouring, garden time, mindee 2 goes home, school run, mindee 1 picked up early (yay). Double quick change into swim gear for DS1 then the 3 of us trek to sports centre for his swim lesson. (bad mother alert) Loads of people I know there, so as no mindees I settle down for major chat. DS2 wanders off outside but that's fine innit cos he's 5 and quite sensible, nowhere near a road and lots of grass to run about on. Wellllll what do you know he managed to shut the big door on his foot, first outing in sandals so big toenail hanging off.....of course no mindees means no First Aid kit either. Aaargh would someone make me coffee pleeeease

Crikey that was long
MaureenMLove whats the confession ?

What a day Julia! Think you might need to see if Saltre brings her vodka in later! Love the 'no mindees means no first aid kit!' You sound like me! I suppose I ought to remember my own dds safety at times!

Anyway - I'll fess up. I've had the day off today, had to get the car MOTed and it was easier to do it without kids. Anyway, felt one of my heads coming on so thought I'd have a nap before school.... and woke up 10 minutes after I should have left to collect mindees! Luckly I leave well early, in case they come out early, so I made it on time, but I looked a complete wreck, I grabbed a jacket from the porch, which I threw on whilst running down the road, realising it was DH's and about 4 sizes too big for me, my hair was all over the place and I had a hand print on my face. Oh the shame!

Children are none the wiser and thats the way it will stay!

Lol MaureenMLove we've all been there. I'll have vodka later, got to go make supper now, chicken summat (yawn) again .

There was one more thing. Mindee 3 was at after school hockey club and needed picking up at 4.30. HOWEVER, it was cancelled. Unfortuately, the school phoned mother to tell her, but she forgot to phone me until .30 - exactly 10 seconds after I got home from school! So I still had to wait another 20 mins for the cup of tea I so desparately needed for my bird cage mouth!

phoned me at 3.30 that should have said - dunno what happened to the 3!

PCC can we call you SalsaMo now

should we take bets on what time mindee gets collected tonight, just got her and dd to bed, off to read enquirer and gazette as dp has gone for big food shop

Chick your not doing a late one again???????????????????????? 10.32 is my bet

Chick have you had a bath and put your red ann summers outfit on yet

I'll answer to most things tbh! I've just had to go cold turkey for almost THREE hours because DH was repairing the wireless network! And he's nicked my keyboard too, so I'm very unconfortable on the laptop keyboard!

Salsa, Ive got a keyboard that has no letters left on it and if you dont hit the keys hard, dont type, well that is my excuse for the terrible typing

It's really annoying when the DH's/DP's go on the computer - how dare they. I have mine all to myself for another 3 weeks
