carrots any of that cake left that you took to your friends?

Argh, TS is hard work today. Bless him, I love him and he's cute & all but he's just so whiney today. I think flying will be reduced today.

During those 45 minutes I managed to:
declutter a bag of Wotsits
fix train tracks (lost track of number of times)
pulled papers out of plastic sleeves (to be fair, each binder has over 100 sleeves so it does take a bit of doing)
put said papers in recycling
read same story (5 times)
gave Toddler a snack/early lunch
washed up breakfast & snack dishes as well as dinner making dishes

I'm going to make my lunch then get into swim gear & get dressed. I'll then take recycling out to the bins and make sure all the stuff for the tip/donation are in the car, ready to go.

Just whizzing by to say Morning/Afternoon ladies. Will catch up properly later.

I quite like the smaller threads too. I'm only on 2 regular threads, this and the trying to stop spending one, and I still struggle to keep up with everyone as it is.

I saw the benefits of the flying habit at the weekend. I was going to give myself the weekend off, but before i knew it i'd gone on autoipilot and done my morning routines AND a declutter etc before I even knew it. I was really pleased with myself when I clicked what i'd done.

Just popping in to say I will have to get started a bit later than 1.00.
We started our lunch a bit late.

What time do you want to meet back here?

I am really, seriously having an "I can't be arsed bothered" day. ARGH!

We're off swimming in half-an-hour. YAY!

Have a good time swimming Scout

Right I'm going to make a start so will pop back around 2.00.

Anyone here??

I have done:
Wash up
"What's for dinner?"
cleaned table and mats.

here are carrots recipes

DD2 is having nap problems. Am half way through shopping list & dinner, need to prep kids tea next.

Bessie I wonder if you DD2 is growing out of nap times. My DD Age 3.2 very rarely has a nap in the day now. She goes to bed around 7.30pm and wakes up around 6.30am (also whinges in the night sometimes too. Today she woke me up at 3.00am (whinging) then she went back to sleep but I couldn't.

I am having a coffee now to keep myself awake.

I will have to get the hoover out as she has made a load of crumbs on the floor.

blackcat im soo sorry didnt get back to you earlier...damn carpet cleaner was early and didnt leave til 2.15 so thought id best crack on when he left...
ive managed to conweb clear front room
front room windows inside and out
and pvc round windows inside and out
front door inside and out

bessie YOURE A STAR THANKS FOR THAT!!!

i have to go and fetch monsters children now.will DEFINATELY be here 4pm for buddying if anyones about..

apologies again to blackcat

must dash or im guna be late!

I might be around at 4.00 ish but it depends on how the DC behave. Yesterday they were up to mischief! Then I will have to cook dinner etc.

black DD2 is only 9m, but I think you are right about her growing out of her nap times! Up until 2 or 3 weeks ago she was sleeping for 1.5hrs morning & afternoon, but she's started waking early from the morning one. The last few days that she's had a cold she's been back to 2x1.5, but perhaps she's feeling a bit better today? I'll have to start waking her after 45mins in the morning so she has a long nap in the afternoon like DD1 (3.3) She doesn't nap the two days she is at pre-school, but is exhausted when she gets home on the second day & close to breaking point!

Anyway, glad you guys are all making g

...ood progress. DD1 has just fallen asleep on me so am hoping I can pop her back in bed for a little longer & get on!

Hope the coffee & cake went well carrots?

AH bessie I got them mixed up and thought you were talking about the older DD.

anyone want "come fly with me?"

How long to you want to Fly for Zoo?

I'm not sure if I can manage much as I have to start on dinner in a bit.

was thinking til 4.30?

Yep, That's o.k. --as long as the DC behave--

Be back around 4.30
