bessie and scout you ladies are on fire today!
carrots i bow down to your stamina through tiredness to achieve so much well done.heres a
i will now scuttle off to fetch the kids then relocate my worksurfaces on my return

I have been missing posts. It is only because bessie mentioned the link that I looked back and found posts by BlackCat and zoo. Sorry folks, I wasn't meaning to be rude.

That looks a useful link but I will have to go and put on some presentable trousers and pick up dcs from school.

I will pop back in this evening.

wow, we're all doing really well today! Am so glad you will be able to find your way to bed tonight zoo!!

Don't worry carrots we don't think you're rude! I'm sure we all miss posts - I only display 20 posts on a page & at the moment can only see the last 3, there is little chance of me remembering who said what on the previous page!

once i'd dragged myself off the sofa I

• put everything back as the floor had dried
• hotspotted 2 bits of worktop in the kitchen
• got tea/dinner out of the freezer
• tried to declutter bath toys

I'm hoping to pop out to visit my grandparents this afternoon just as soon as DD2 has finished her feed

Afternoon ladies.

Been quite busy today, loads of washing and ironing done, kitchen is clean and sparkly but i don't seem to have time for anything else. Haven't got as far as decluttering for days. Ho hum. Not working tomorrow so might be able to get more done then, although I have the plumber/gas man round tomorrow and I always get stressed when someone's in the house working on something. Don't know why, i just can't settle and pace around doing nothing. What a wally.

carrots. I miss posts too. I really struggle to keep up sometimes too.

Evening all, I have name changed (just fancied a change)!

I have also joined the other thread in a bid to try and be more motivated .
If it's o.k. with you guys I would like to pop in on both threads.

How is everyone this evening? It seems quiet everywhere.

call me thick,but whos name changed?

doh!
just as long as you referring to cleaning not illegal substances!!
my sink is shiny and im done for today.as no ones about im guna log off now and will see you all tomorrow
bessie thanks for the link to mama cook.2 words.yum yum

What do I call you then? Trying sounds cheeky - does that mean I call you Fly?

Night zoo - I hope you sleep well.

I am done with flying for a few hours. I am tired and grumpy and about to trawl through the cupboards for the big tube of Smarties I know is in there somewhere.

Exhausting day with little flying done. Am just having some dessert and then will go and do the washing up.

Would anyone like some sticky toffee pudding?

Yes please Scout. I forgot to pack a snack for myself this afternoon and I was so hungry I practically inhaled my tea. The only desserts we have are cold though and I am freezing. STP would be just perfect thanks.

Today has been a strange day. I am also tired even though I haven't done a huge amount. I think I will go to bed early (as long as the DC settle).

You can call me what you like but a few ideas :TTF, TOF or FLY
I'll leave it up to you!!

Can I sprinkle the smarties on top of the STP?

I need to

• cook & freeze fruit for DD2s breakfasts
• have a bath
• go to bed on time

flyingCat I am easily confused by name changes, forgive me if I forget who you are!

I don't normally have dessert but fancied something else tonight. Toddler had a fantastic day running around like a nut. Am torn between going to YOUT tomorrow or staying home to recharge our batteries.

I, too, would like an early bedtime tonight. I'm tired.

Oops xpost with TTFcat

I have noticed that zoo & I are the only ones who have committed to a certain time for bed...

Is this better ??

Ummmm..... mine might depend if I can tear myself away with chatting with friends and family from home.

Mmm bedtimes.... Mine would be no later than 10.30pm (apart from weekends)

I thought I did commit earlier .

I am aiming for 10pm with lights out by 11pm.

I am guilt ridden as I had to tell ds I couldn't sleep beside him tonight as it was making me too tired and grumpy. His wee face.

I did pull him up into my lap for big cuddles and point out that I was sure none of his friends slept with their Mummy - but still.

I also told him how much I loved him.

But I still feel guilty.

I really shouldn't, given that he is 7, should I? mental health problems or not.

Gah!

I have self medicated for the guilt with the half eaten bag of chocolate buttons I found whilst looking for the giant tube of smarties.

BlackCat I can cope with your new name now

It looks luverly!

Carrots Hope you and DS are o.k.

Is he alright about it now?

Dh has let him sleep in with him BlackCat so he is fine. I didn't have a lot of choice. I knew if I let him sleep with me I would be a horrid Mummy all day, whereas this way I am only a horrid Mummy at bedtime.

Ah that's good. You need a bit of time for you. This way you both get what you need.
