I need to clean !
House is tidy (had drunken BBQ on Saturday)but everywhere seems to have a charming layer of grot/spilled beer

Plus I feel rubbish as I totally deserted my diet (cue me with gay abandon at 2am snarfing a whole bag of walkers sensations and a bottle of vino)

I am drinking hot water with lemon
And thinking pure and clean thoughts

bythepower good for you doing mission already.very impressed.
Coffee Ellie is much improved thanks.chest sounds clear & no longer bubbly sounding last day for antibiotics. My only concern is she is very cranking & pulling at her ear/cheek red on same side I hoping that its not another ear infection if so I'll be asking for a referal.

Morning, hope you are all well.

Still feel like I'm gatecrashing slightly by posting on here, but I will keep going because you seem a lovely bunch, and I really think it will help get my shambles of a house sorted out.

I had a very busy weekend, selling things on a stall at a festival. I made a few quid and the children had a fun couple of days so I'm quite pleased with myself.

I have already done babystep 2, am dressed, hair done, make-up and shoes on. I manage that one most days to be fair. Sink is still very clean, although dp didn't even notice, or if he did he didn't say anything. maybe he was too distracted by the utter choas in every room of the house. Oh dear.

Still can't imagine I'm ever going to get on top of it. Do you think it would be worth hiring a skip so I can have a big clear out? Any other tips that you think will really help me?

hownot agree with hunny and ehm no gatecrashers here and it sounds as tho you are making progress. think positive look at the changes you have made already in the few days you've been flying, just think the changes you will see by the end of this week. each little bit is progress towards your end goal.

Hi all.

Had mum here all weekend which was good as she is great with the kids and even looked after them on Sat so dh and I could go out for a walk together . Does anyone else find that they revert to sulky teenage behaviour in the presence of their mother? (or is it just me?)

House needs a good sort out.
To do:
shopping
hoover
laundry

saga I am of your social life.

TheMadHouse · 16/06/2008 13:10

Well Ladies

I goes from Bad to worse, it looks like DS1 has the bloody pox

I thought it was cold spots from me kissing him on his head, rather than his mouth, but he has one in his eye.

Hmm - I am waiting for a call from mums GP, as she is on steriods and therefore, exposure to CP is bad

I have had my hole repacked as it is still infacted and majorly swollen - at least the dentist isnt charging me

arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
