Yes preschool stuff, other job stuff, housing benefit reapplication, ds' school forms, divorce stuff... Drowning i am!

Well done on weight, nearly at target now i see.

Dd always got nappy rash with colds and teeth too, sympathies. Spoon of bicarb in bath can help and we found canesten worked better than nappy cream when it wad really sore

Oh and daisy has her kittens on Mon night so am wasting a lot if time watching them squirming and squeaking around!

So so tired, was falling asleep on be sofa at 920 last night so gave up and went to bed but still felt like i could sleep all day today. This eve I need to:
clean litter tray
put bins out
cook dinner
wash up
quick tidy
Hoover downstairs

even that seems like too much effort

I'm hungover and tired from a lovely but late night, have been back to bed when dd slept but running on fumes now.

Dd is emptying the kitchen cupboards.
And ds2 is cross with the tablecloth

alcohol fumes is that??

That'd be about right

Kids in bed finally.

Had DS2's Sports Day today, and totally bad mummy, i didn't plan for sun; had coats, raincoats, raincover for buggy, food, drink, nappies, toys, camera, etc. etc. but no sun cream....DD has some sunburn :(
Have put some Magic Cream on, wasn't really sure what's best for her really.
Hoping it isn't too bad by tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile I've been starving all day + the alcohol means i've probably added back on a few pounds, grr.
Getting closer to target though :)

Tomorrow:
(AKA Torch Day :) )

• DS2 to sch as normal
• me, DS1 & DD to friends on the train for lunch (pack some stuff for the DC)
• walk up her road to see the torch
• train home
• DS2 home
• poss birthday party (last minute thing)
• DC tea
• DC bath & bed
• dinner & bed

Hello. Having a very lazy day today need to wash the kitten bedding as it stinks. Also do another load of washing and some dusting. And remake the dc beds. So should get cracking really!

Stayed at bfs last night as had first night without dc in ages. His shower was minging but he cleaned it for me before i got in i may have told him how disgusting it was once or twice

Freak - LOL, get that bf sorted out!

Mini - at the car!! Hope it's not too much of a nightmare to replace.
