Hi all
thanks for the link dyls
My bathroom needs work so better do the mission! need to to reintroduce swish and swipe, since our hols my routines are all to pot! I need babysteps I think.

Had my hair cut and coloured, looks great! (until swimmining tomorrow ) Taken the whole morning though.

Gym joey this afternoon then making lions from paper plates when DS home from school. We went to the zoo yesterday. Bad tempered day all round, DH and I both shattered, children very grumpy and demanding. Got better after a big blow up from me

Oh well, try to be a better Mum today.

BBL

So no lists of achievements then? Mine are few:
Made giant tree with DC glueing on fallen autumn leaves
painted paper plates yellow for lions tomorrow!
made tomato sauce for pasta from greenhouse tomtoes (at last ripening)
Calmed and sorted DS after someone else took his school bag home - drove to her childminder's house to get it! Honestly
house is still a tip!

So not much of a list really but haven't shouted or done anything remotely bad mother-ish today. hurrah!

See you all tomorrow

Hi all.

ruby I like mondays for the same reason .
wendy I always have a bad day at zoos/safari parks etc. They are designed to bring out the worst in young children (and their parents!) .

dyl, swan and reality thanks again for your kind (rational) thoughts on dyspraxia. Having looked into it I think I too have dyspraxic tendancies. I have concluded that dyspraxia is in fact quite common even normal and nothing to worry about .

Done;
laundry

oh dear must try harder.

...................Quick Grouchy Wave.....Hello, I've missed you, can I please pop back?

..........................scarpers quick

Changed DS who'd wet the bed.

Have found you all!

Ok so I start today, babysteps I know. Going to go and shine my sink now

I have tried this a few times now and FAILED I am going to give it a really good go this time though, fed up of CHAOS - driving me nuts!

Reality - been there, done that, got the teeshirt! (not the housework, just the morose bit and the sheets
well done on such a productive day

yest was very unproductive..creative cooking seems to create far too much mess and distracts me from serious boring jobs
however have made supper for tonight already yest

done
rubbish out
chores done with kids, practice etc, teeth, stars galore
hung out laundry
some upstairs

todo
recycling first
then piano
then paperwork
then ironing
then some more cooking? soup, scones, carrot cake

Grouchy hopeyou alright, it is lovely to see you, hope new term is going well, and you are not working too hard on different jobs

Laura I shined my sink last night, it made a big difference. I had to force myself to though, I really couldn't be bothered, not motivated at all..

done
recycling all out - enormous quantities due to purge last week
kept on top of hall mess
swept kitchen floor/tidied breakfast away
washed doormat
swept front step
shook out front door mat
tackled garden again - dh has this penchant for chopping things up and then just leaving heaps of branches everywhere - I've realised there are two types of men: those who love their beautifully ordered woodpiles, those who just like the chopping bit

Hiya all
Rubes enjoy your early night with reading LOL, your list made me laugh yesterday
Laura hi, hope you're still with us - I hardly ever shine my sink but it is always empty and cleared which is good enough for me!
grouchy hi hope you're ok
swan I agree with DH about New Moon, did you get to see Eclipse? Heard they were rereleasing it or something for Bella swann's birthday or something
Jas hi and welcome to this week!
scatty hope you got the house bleugh done, I have managed two rooms of mine!
reality your list was awesome!
dyls and changes hope lectures etc going ok

I have managed to vacuum and tidy. Still have a box of decluttered items to move upstairs though. Tomorrow I am going to tackle upstairs!

DD enjoyed dance class again tonight. She has the uniform now and loves it. DS enjoyed the one to one time with me whilst she is in there.

DH at ikea buying new drawers for DD so the baby can have hers ... they were bought for DS when he was born as they are just the right size/height for changing at during the early days. 30 weeks this week!

Cold and rainy here today. Washing still out from this morning

See you girls tomorrow
