er, that would be 10. Swept my hall, not fall

I bow to you oh great one - its not even 10am yet!

I've managed to get me and ds dressed and fed. Thats it

I am so not worthy

oh my god , what time did you get up i've been up since 7-30 and done bugger all cause im reading threaads on how to clean up and not actually doing it(hangs head in shame)

but what will you do for the rest of the day?!

ha ha leander, I got up at 7.15.

I must admit, this is VERY unusual for me but I'm expecting somebody at 10am - I'm one of those people who is horrified if someone drops in, as the house will usually be a tip!

JARM - Mumsnet of course!!

right you've shamed me into it I'm off to tidy my hovel.

Look, it's all very well but you're setting standards that are hard to maintain on a daily basis and once the standards slip you will feel like a failure and your DH will think you are letting things go.

I have been agonising and ranting all morning and that is exhausting in itself.

And no, I'm not at work, my mum and dadd have gone away (bloody cheek) and left me without childcare so I'm off work.

I will getting the sewing machine out in a minute and whizzing up a new pink fluffy cover for DD's car seat though so I win. NER

We're talking to ourselves, she's gone to clean something else.

PMSL KBear, you always make me rofl. I wasn't cleaning actually, I was talking to two policemen for 2 hours (ooer!)

How rude of your parents

I know - we are going to have to go back over the Grandparent Strategy which we put in place when DD was born, ie you nagged for grandkids, I duly provided them, therefore you should forego any events, holidays, trips that don't include them.

Intrigued about the policemen... do tell...
