In terms of housekeeping the worst thing in the world has just happened...I felt like whimpering quietly for several hours.....<sob> <sob> <sob>

[LadyTophamHatt]

stripped the bed this morning...left them to air...and FORGOT ALL ABOUT THEM^!!

Just went upstairs to get the kids bathed and in bed and was faced with one single, 1 set of bunk beds and one double bed to make.
It must be 30 degrees up there.

Was all pleased becuaue they'd had a early dinner so it meant I'd get an early sit down.
Ha...it's now just pass their bedtime and they just having milk.

I've still got to wash up, tidy up and hang the washing out.....

Oh I want to cry when I do that - you poor thing. They'll only need sheets though, it's so hot - at least you don't have to wrestle with duvet covers.

Oh no! Have you got readybeds? Get the kids to sleep on those for tonight, or similar. Tell them its indoor camping

Get DH to do your bed when he gets home

Oh, I hate doing that. Agree, just sheets tonight.

Oh no, what a swine. I loathe changing beds. I agree, just sheets Mine have gone to bed in their pants (well, pull-ups) it's sweltering!

ROFL VVV, that's just bloody atrocious

I was going to shower the boys but instaed ran a cool bath for them and fought with all the sheets and duvets while they were in it.

Poor things were as wrinkley as crepe paper when they got got.

None of the duvets are actually on the beds though....just thrown in the general direction of each bed

got out..... not got got.

Greensleeves....i dont know what you mean?

LTH - i thought you meant the sheets were wrinkly, was about to say "fuck ironing the sheets in this weather "

Then i realised you meant your DS's

VVVqv...I don't do ironing full stop!!

someone please remind me never to bother changing the beds in this weather again!!

When I went up to bed last night all 3 boys were so hot that their pillows and sheets were soaked. No sheets on them, all just sleeping in underwear.
What a pointless exercise that was!

blame pg brain, lth. I do, frequently (well, nappy brain now, but works for me )

Oh grim, LTH!

I had a house-k disaster the other week.

I had one of those moments when you look round the living room and realise that it is surfacely clean but actually realy grubby (under sofas etc).

So I had a mad whirl for 2 hours. Cleaned and polished as normal, + cleaned womdows inside and out, moved sofas, wiped all the skirtings down etc. When its was done, sat back and thought how very lovely and sparkly it looked. Then went upstairs to ask my ill dh if he could watch the kids while I showered.

Cue dd1 shouting "Mummy, she's drawing on the telly!"

Race downstairs to find dd2 (18mo) busy with orange crayola. (Sigh)Get out a baby wipe and start to clean it down, dd2 starts to help so get dd1 to keep her out of the way. "Mummy, heer nappy's wet!"

Take off wet nappy (its a washable and don't want her leaking all over the clean laminate), trudge upstairs and get fresh one.

Cue dd1 "Mummy, she's WEEING!"

ARGH!

Decided there and then that Mess Managemnet is the only way to go while they are still small.

Oh yeah, and the next day dd1 left the plug in the bathroom sink, it overflowed so dramatically that we ended up popping several holes in the living room ceiling to allow the water to drain!

LTH It's awful isn't it? You think you're ahead of the game for once then...

I hate changing beds and all the washing and irorning it makes. My dd's high cabin bed is terrible. I managed to get one of my boobs stuck between the mattress and the bed frame last time I did it!. It b^&&$y hurt and put me in an even worse mood about the whole bed changing fiasco.

sorry TG...but LOL at you boob getting stuck!

Do you have huge norks?? that'd never happen to me with my teeny one...even my PG norks aren't much to write home about!

The top bunk of the bunk bed is absolutley the hardest to change so I almost feel your pain with the cabin bed...just not the stuck boob pain

Oh nooooooo.

I did that the other night but made dp do it.

I decided that it was too hot for a duvet so changed our bed and just put the empty cover on. It was fine until about 3am when it got a bit nippy. But DS has been sleeping like that since the weekend. DH was whinging this morning. So have duvet to put in cover tonight. Might make DH do it on account of huge jam blister on index finger.

Does no one care about my litany of disasters?

(Sob)

lol
glad oyu lot are all as asad as me
i obsesssed over my hob estractor

I was up at 5am after I tried to open dd2's door a crack to let some air in cos it was stifling... and this let a dangerous chink of daylight in and she woke up

was beside myself

but thought oh well, if I get up it will wake dd1 and we can all get ready superearly and I can do some ironing before work

all was going very well until 7am when I opened the freezer door to get out dd's frozen fruit juice box for her lunch and discovered that the door hadn't been shut and everything was defrosted [sad}

so had to contend with endless bags of soggy veg and lovingly prepared baby food while dd1 bawled her eyes out over the frozen icecream

by the time I'd calmed her down and sorted the freezer out it was time for school; it had taken us four hours to get ready and I had done no ironing

now I have to make endless blueberry and blackcurrant items to avoid wasting all this defrosted fruit

tell me you've had a bad morning

or the 'not ' frozen icecream

lth - poor you !!!!!! you did it though i would make dp

not an otter sorry yes - non frozen ice cream, dripping, sad, squishy icecream slithering out of it's crumpled containers

even sadder since yesterday I had stocked up

twas like an icecream scene from the Godfather with dd1 slithering around in it, bemoaning it's demise

dp's make beds when your pg thats the rules hun esp top bunks!

I do that every time I change the beds. Every sodding time.

I'm always doing that, don't feel you're the only one. You feel like kicking yourself.
