Morning TR Gold Star....is all yours

Thanks for the thread.
snow! where abouts are you?...oh you were Scotland weren't you?
I'd like a bit of snow, but not until after Cawl a Chan on Wednesday, as it will be a nightmare to try and rearrange it all!

Tort you did really well on the tidying up! Now I see the room all tidy...they are really quite small rooms aren't they. I can see you would have trouble with storage.
Could the girls maybe have the bunk beds? Might free them a bit of floor space.

Bianca Glad you are getting on well with DH
Sorry to here your DS has been a monkey (mine were awful this weekend too...and as punishment they are not allowed computer games until next weekend!)

Well, I have a doctors appointment this morning, All 3 kids are at school/nursery today.
Welsh lessons after lunch then.

Right better get the kids dressed for school

TrinityRhino · 03/03/2008 08:01

Morning all and welcome NAB

Well where to start DS1 was a nightmare yesterday and MIL smacked his hand - WE DO NOT SMACK and DH did not pull her up on it, que hughe row when the kids had gone to bed and me going to bed too at 8.30. Issue is still not resolved.

Dh was involved in a car accident this morning - he is OK, car needs repairing - more money.

Morning routine done and off to toddlers this morning - hoping I will be in a better frame of mind on my return

babyjjbaby · 03/03/2008 08:54

ohno themadhouse sure u'll feel better later

Minkus · 03/03/2008 08:55

Hello babyjjbaby

I've just been catching up on the weekend thread and found tort's piccies-

I'm not too far from Gloucester, think you said that's where you are? S hope the weather is as nice there as I have in Ross on Wye.

Blimey Tort I wish I could do that much tidying in an hour, you really sorted it out!

As the it's such a lovely day here the remainder of the European Washing Mountain is getting done as we speak and will be hung on line when done.

DW done, all of us fed, ds's nursery bag packed. I'm just off for a shower, then we'll both get dressed and will take him to nursery. Report back when all that's done!

Minkus · 03/03/2008 08:56
