Not making a list today Ellie still not well. Dr gave her antibiotics yesterday as he was concerned about wheezing/breathing which we have to monitor. Didn't get much sleep. She's napping at moment having woken at 5.am. So I've put a load of washing on, all washing done yesterday is dried & folded into ironing basket. Dishwasher loaded & on.

Hi All.

DH registered Erin's birth today and I'm finally on top of the washing. She has been sick loads in the last few days and I ran out of sleepsuits last night.

Tomorrow is our first trip out to take DD1 swimming. Me and DD2 are going to watch on the sidelines! Wish me luck....

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 13/12/2006 18:30

Hope you enjoy tomorrow. 1st new family trip out,how exciting.
Glad you got on top of the washing too!

shouldbedeckingthehalls · 13/12/2006 18:42

Have a great outing tomorrow satinshoes

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 13/12/2006 19:42

FLYers I think I need help!
I'm just not getting anything done. I need a routine but can't get into one. I get the place looking reasonably good and then leave it to go down hill again.
I did so much Sunday ready for Guardians visit now its all messy again!

Can anyone help me or am i destined to a life of mess?

EllieHsMum · 13/12/2006 21:16

Tortoise where do you live? If you are near me I wil come over & give you a hand. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself it's not easy when little ones are ill.
I don't have a routine, I've managed to get lots done today because dd is unwell & has slept lots this morning. Although she has been stuck to my hip for the remainder of the day.
satinshoes Enjoy your family outing tomorrow.
shouldbe thanks for your email, will email back.Thanks for lokking for Angel.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 13/12/2006 21:23

Awww nice of you to offer EllieHsMum. Im in Somerset.
DD's are no problem they will just sit and watch TV or play together. I even dried off the little slide and they have been playing with it in the front room!! LOL!
It seems like sunday and Monday are the only days i can stay in all day. And get on with housework.I just lack motivation to actually do anything unless i know someone is coming round.
Think im just tired tonight and feeling a bit crappy again. Throat is still sore.

And i still need to buy xmas presents and food with bugger all money!! And thats getting me down!

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 13/12/2006 21:55

Think i will switch off comp and sort DW then go get in my cold bed!
See you all tomorrow sometime. pre-school xmas party at 12!
