LOL popsycal now that something to be proud of

tortoise · 30/08/2006 15:59

Ive just had a little tidy up of the dd's room.Bought a pop up tidy thing which is quite small but just right to stuff all their teddies in.Have removed a few.evil!
Would love to get rid of the big teletubbies but they like them on and off!
Should be room for a few of the toys from the front room to fit up there now.That will help to de-clutter the floor.

Just done the fridge whilst DS had a sleep and dd watched tv quietly!!!

Flamesparrow · 30/08/2006 16:27

whats with all the fridges??? am I in the wrong room?

mummyhill · 30/08/2006 16:33

It's ok flame I am still on baby steps and my fridge needed decluttering. Plus it was a good way to escape from the constant mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum can I have, get me, where's my, I need, I want.

JessaJam · 30/08/2006 16:37

Flame I was wondering exactly the same!!

I'm on babysteps day 6 need to hotspot for 2 minutes, but just can't bring myself to do it, even though i have the opportunity now ds is napping. I should be working, but an MNing instead!

Flamesparrow · 30/08/2006 16:38

I have tried escaping from that in 3 f*ckin rooms today, and she still follows me

I'm sorry... I think Psychomum must be due on this week - I tend to get her pmt....

mummyhill · 30/08/2006 16:44

Bless. Irritating isn't it. Luckily we still have stair gates as ds 11 months and on the move. DD hasn't worked out how to open them (yipee) so I wait till she is distracted and run closing the gate behind me!!!!

tortoise · 30/08/2006 17:13

i used to sneak out the room shutting the gate behind me.Until DD1 worked out how to open the gate!!
Im always saying wait at the bottom of the stairs while i run up and get xxx.Just as I get to the top i hear both DD's coming up the stairs.It then takes twice as long to get back down cos DD2 2 always wants to walk down!

Flamesparrow · 30/08/2006 17:14

DD just stands at the gate screaming "LETMEINMUMMY!!!!!!!!!"

So much for DH finishing early

I once had the strangest feeling of domesticity
Do you remember?
It freaked me so much that I really had to leave the mess be.

A Ha!

But if we all zone our home
To help us scru-ub
We get the feeling that we've all been dreaming of.
It helps us so much as you can see-ee:
With a quick swish and swipe,
you too can be a true Fly Lay-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You're sadder than everyone thi-inks!
