Tuesday FLY - 1 week into babysteps, are we all still going?

[DontDreamItBeIt]

Kelly's mission

Babystep day 8

Oooh EHM I would have loved loads of vouchers like that when DS's were born, it is also helpful as sometimes help is the hardest thing to ask for.

so have finished putting away the ironing, and have done 15 minutes in the kitchen
been and given lunch to my Tuesday lady
trying to find things to do so I don't have to do my tax return!!

to true JJ help is hard to ask for especially when you have a new baby. You dont want people to think you can't do it all. Please may I ask who is your 'Tuesday lady'?

Right shopping list & on line shopping order completed. Wasted too much time on line going to try & start livingroom whilst ellie watches Tweenies & eats her snack.

You need to make a diaper cake Ruby

Both dd and ds had a great day at school - both are exhausted now so ds is sitting in front of Bob the Builder and dd is writing thank you letters with me at the table

Need to get supper started soon.

Oh Sorry she is just on my to do list! She is an elderly lady in the village who is disabled, so there are a few of us who take it in turns to go and get her coffee/do some washing/get her meals and run errands.
She is 88 years old and mentally bright as a button, just her body is letting her down.
At the moment I am doing Tuesdays.

JJ how kind of you she must be very grateful.

Hello, DS was quite happy when I picked him up, so I'm relieved!
I think the initial saying goodbye is all a bit too much for him...poor lamb!

Supper is on,
Place is fairly tidy despite kids dumping all their bits in a trail from the door to the bedroom!
I'm just having a bop to Mika (I'm gonna wear the cd out I'm sure!)

JJ what a lovely thing to do I bet she really appreciates that.

EHM Hello you sound very spritely at the moment, sounds like the break did the trick

Bianca The diaper cake is bizzare!!! I was expecting a cake in the shape of a diaper LOL!

Thats good Luda. I love Mika too! Orson are the faves again at the moment because i have their new album!

lol Love the diaper cake!

I came across the diaper cake after watching some scary clip about those re-born dolls from that prog on ch4 last week - thought I'd love to have a go at one if only I had a friend expecting a baby, lol

Tort which songs do Orson do?...I usually seem to like similar music to you

Luda how was ds when you collected him?

JJ what a lovely idea to help out like that

Grouchy happy anniversary

I've made a real effort and cooked a proper home made supper - another resolution; now both los are at school I hope to do zero housework once they're home and cook a proper supper (rather than the pasta rut we're stuck in )
We had some lovely colouring time at the table time while supper was cooking then all ate supper together (dh turned up just in time too)
Kids bath is run so I'd better tidy up a bit while dh watches them. I'm hoping for a bath myself later and then an early night.

sorry Luda your post tells me how ds was....I did read it, my brain really lets me down sometimes
Glad he was OK

;atsest single I love them! lol!

Latest* that was meant to say! DD2 is leaning on my arm lol!

lol, dd and I love that song

I could copy you the album and send it if you like?

yes please

ok will do

Evening all

Taking 5 mins and a cauppa before I run the bath and leave DH bathing them, whilst I get clothes etc sorted for tomorrow.

For Tea tonight we had a small ham cooked in the slow cooker in Coke with Onion and then chips and poached egg. Me and DH will have it after the boys are in bed.

I am planning a bath and book tonight.

Grouchy Happy Aniversary (we will be 13 years this year too)
Bianca and Luda well done on the first full days at school
Tort How is the DW
JJ It is really nice to help - what goes around comes around
EHM Hope you are getting on OK and managing to catch Up
fgs Is dd any better?

Anyway must crack on with evening routine:

Do you want the 1st album on there too?

TMH Not re-tested DW yet. Will put a load in soon.

sounds good, thanks

Bianca - that's a good resolution, my cooking is so lazy. The kids are picky and do not inspire me to be creative, so we're definitely in a rut. Will work on that one day!

I really feel like having a glass of wine but there's still so much to do...

Clear dinner things, supervise reading and homework, prep. bags etc for tomorrow, get them to tidy toys, dd bedtime routine.

Bianca Copies done. Will pop them in the post tomorrow/Thursday.
