Morning everyone just back from a break in London with my eldest for her birthday present. It was fantastic and as her special treat I took her to covent garden and we went to the ballet.

Am now looking at washing and mess and thinking how does it get like this so fast when I left a tidy house?

Hi ruby.

DD's got me moving! kept saying come on mummy upstairs!
So small pile put away in DS's room. My least favourite one to do. Brings back memories of after ss took them to xp1.

Will do some more in a bit.

Hello again

I said I'd be back. Getting moving really helped to stop my legs being wobbly. Can't let the house go to pot as I noticed this weekend that DH can't multitask. He can look after DS but can't fathom flying as the same time.

My Done list is now
Get dressed
Get DS dressed
Empty Dw
Put away
Make Breakfast
Tidy up
S&S Kitchen
Put dry washing away
Dust bedroom
Vac Bedroom
Vac Staircase
Vac landing
Vac Downstairs
S&S bathroom (DS proudly told me he'd had a wee in the bath! blokes)
Find my mobile

I think I've earned a big sit down.
DS now has a snotty cold. So long as he's not puking I can handle him snooking.

Hope everyone is having a good day

grouchyoscar · 19/02/2007 11:47

Oh Tort all the best with the SW.

ludaloo · 19/02/2007 11:58

Thanks for the hug EHM

Ds is now snotty, his lights are on but no one's at home. I think a nap approaches.

My symptoms are still there but a lot less intrusive now. They will pass with rest.

How's Ellie coping with her Lurgi and how are you?

EllieHsMum · 19/02/2007 12:48

Grouchy I walk about in a sleep deprived haze most of the time anyway She's fine one minute then she just cries/moans. Not sure what she wants really. Just given her some milk & she has fallen asleep. So I having a sandwich & a cuppa(some mn time too)
Hope you get the rest you need so it passes & ds has a nap soon.
