Morning everyone.

Trinity - you're always welcome here! I'm FGS with a new outfit by the way.

Put DD1s new bookcase and storage unit in her bedroom this morning. Well, we were all up at 5.30am! Looks fab. Bookcase doesnt fit a few of her books upright which is a bit of a shame so I've put them on their side. But the storage thing has NINE baskets so now everything has a home. And one of the baskets is officially a TAT BASKET.

Morning all.
bianca have a lovely holiday and good luck with the journeyEV How I love storage. Sounds great

Oh no gotta go!!

Morning Flyers!
Welcome back Trinity. Good to see you.
EHM I think the general rule is that if you're getting pain it is very very likely to be something quite innocent. Sending you positive vibes.
TMH Hope you're asleep as I write this...

Morning ladies, today didn't start out well, but I'm off to do baby step 1 and clean my sink ( ignoring the complete and utter mess around it )

I have some really sad news, I didnt want to post anything yesterday, as not writing it down made it feel as though it wasnt happening.

Baby L had a fit yeterday morning (first one since released from hospital) and was admitted to hospital. He died at 4am this morning in my neices arms. RIP Lincoln

Morning Hownotto! That's the Fly lady way - get the sink shiny and then reward yourself with a cup of tea and biscuit of your choice (hobnobs are always very popular on here)

Right, have done stuff!

To Do

Oh, TMH. So sorry to hear that. What awful news. Love and strength you you and your whole family.

TMH - So sorry to hear about Baby L. He put up quite a fight though from what you said. I cant imagine how awful everyone must feel. lots of xxx from me and mine.

(That just made me cry - and that takes quite a lot!!)

oh tmh thats so sorry to hear that

I have taken my sadness out on a the toilet which is now sparkling! I have also managed to hoover upstairs, tidy and dust main bedroom, DD1s bedroom and done bathroom. Yay for DD2 having a nap !

TMH I am so so so sorry to read this. I can't imagine how any of you must be feeling. Much love & hugs to you all from me & ellie.x.x.x My thoughts are with you all & God Bless Baby L..x

Hello All

Welcome to the Newbies and to Returnees

I escaped the Police by doing the TO DO list. I had secured a release by 6:30 which isn't too bad.

OK I've done the morning routines, Been to coffee morning, Phoned DGM (DGD is in hospital and going downhill and she is very upset) Home, vac downstairs, Empty DW. put away and do some washing up

To do is Pizza dough, sauce, garlic butter, School assembly, collect Ed, Rugby training, home, run WM (white load) and say cheerio to the week

Hope all are well or getting better

TTFN

mad

Oh Bloody hell Mad I hadn't read the thread, just piled straight in with my standard FLY post

I am so and sorry for your neice's loss and my deepest condolencses. Wishing you love aqnd every strength at this awful awful time.

RIP Little L Blessings be upon you

Sorry to hear that TMH. Its a stark reminder of how precious our LOs are.

TMH - it will be very raw for everyone. There is a bereavement section on mumsnet which may help a bit later.

Scatty is right - something like this should make us all think how precious our children are. Mine will be getting extra special cuddles today. I still feel teary about your news TMH and I dont see how I have a right to when I didnt know anyone involved

On a change of subject, DD2 slept all morning. Cant believe it. I even got a neighbour to sit with her while I collected DD1 from pre-school. We're all having our haircut this afternoon so hopefully that will make us all look like normal people and not on the urchin end of the spectrum.

Take care all. And forgive me for nattering about normal things in light of TMH's news...

Rest in peace little one TMH I am so sorry for your neice's loss. You have truly brought tears to my eyes.
