Morning all.

2 playdates today so will be housekeeping in between.

Morning EV.

Off out today to wildfowl centre.I am that holidays nearly over as have to go back to work and DS not keen on going back to school (DD can't wait to go back to nursery lol).

Today:
laundry
Mission
IRONING
continue sewing name tapes.

Managed to get DD to sleep by sitting on a chair in doorway (rather than holding her hand) I am determined to do it this time and eventually stop her coming into my bed at night. Today she gets a small prize for her efforts then start a star chart tomorrow.

Morning everyone, feeling c**p today! Fell out my friends door yesterday whist holding ds2, have a big cut on my knee and a painful swollen ankle
I have loads to do today aswell as I did nothing yesterday

MOrning ALL EV thanks for the thread once again.enjoy your play dates.
scattywell done DD for going to sleep on her own.

Off to circus with my friend & her dd today. Took Ellie http://www.langleyburyfarm.org/ here yesterday & she had a pony ride & loved it

Haven't read yesterdays thread so hello to everybody, and hope I haven't missed anything important

Have a good day..x

Morning all

Scatty I am actually looking forward to playgroups and stuff being back on. With the weather being bad my two have been a bit of hard work. Role on the 8th or an indian summer

EHM Hope you and Ellie enjoy the circus

Tigger32 Sounds Painfull

EV Two playdates - lucky you

We have quite a boring day really.

Need to do some shopping at Aldi
Ironing
Mission
Hoover whole house

SO as the sun is shinning, I think we will shop early and then go to the park before lunch.

My two were up during the night. DS1 with his chest (needed his inhauler twice) and DS2 well i think it is his age

Morning all

Really quick post, me and dc's areoff to my M & D's leaving dp behind until he can join us saturday, which he absolutely hates, even more than going to my M&D's
I've got loads to do before mum arrives to pic kus up at 12, including running to Tesco's t oget dp's lunch for Monday. I actualy wanted to leave at 9:00, of course dd decides to lie in until 7:30 and DS until 8:30 and neither of them want their breakfast yet and they're both playing perfectly.
I think I packed everything though, in about 20mins , will probably have forgotten something but I've gor the essentials.
scatty enjoy your day at teh wildfowl cwntre sounds like a great day out. Glad your getting somewhere with keeping DD out of your bed.
tigger for teh fall. Make sure you rest your ankle in order for it to get better.
TMH I'm looking forward to school starting again as well. DD doesn't start school until the 8th though
EMH enjoy the circus, I've never been.
I'd better go Be Back on Monday
Have a good day.

Shanna DS1 starts preschool on the 8th too

Boys are fed and breakfast pots are washed and away.

We are off shopping after I have finnished my cappa

Online shop ordered being delivered tonight.
Provisional dates booked for my intensive driving course in October.
Theory Test booked.

Must get dressed spent far too long on line, phone etc this morning

TMH I am also looking forward to preschool restarting & ellie's mini moovers class. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up whilst I was at my mums.
Shann I have taken ellie before to circus. This time its in a theatre rather than big top. Something to do with my writer friend.

Right I am off.x.x.

Hello All and Welcome To the newbies and returnees

EV Thanks for the thread and have fun with the playdates

Tigger Ouch, hope you recover soon

EHM have fun at the circus

Scatty I'm that the holidays are ending. I don't feel I'v e done enough with Ed. I had a big list and, well, lots not ticked off.

TMH Did my boring shop on Tuesday. Ended up having to get a huge deep fryer and 10l of oil home.

Tiger I always pack way too much. For the past 2 years I'v e packed a suitcase of clothes that haven't been worn/touched. Thing is if I'd left them at home I'd have needed them.

to anyone I've missed

Done
Washed and dressed
Bathroom and loo S&S
Make and eat breakfast
Tidy away
Feed cats
Empty DW
Put away
Make beds

Ed has to go for a check up at the health centre, standard thing but...Oh I hate them, he is fine.

Better get him dressed and ready for the bus...TTFN

Hi everyone
it's the LO's day off today, which means less running about.
So have to actually spend some time finishing off the tiles today. We have had so many visitors and outings that they have just been sitting there.
Eustacia thank you for the thread!
TMH it is nice having the LO back at nursery - he does love it and funnily enough I quite like seeing the other mums, which I can't say I did before Summer.
Tigger I'm not surprised you didn't get much done yesterday, that sounds very sore. If you ankle is swollen you should really keep it elevated and put a bag of frozen peas on it to reduce the inflammation. Try not to overdo it though, because you could end up worse off.
Scatty, I generally lie next to my LO until he is asleep. I expect he won't want me to do that when he is 16.
Grouchy hope the health centre is empty and you see the doctor immediately.
Shannara poor old dp, he isn't going to enjoy his weekend is he.
EHM is mini movers good? I am trying to think of ideas for the LO's fourth birthday and we could get somebody from mini movers to come for an hour.

Hi All

We are back from boring shop and an hour and half at the park.

DS2 has got something in his eye and it is really sore - so after nap if still the same I am going to take him to minor injuries at the hospital.

I am going to spend some time cleaning whilst he is asleep and then some one on one with DS1.

Then we have to collect some eggs and stuff from my mums

Afternoon ladies,

all ok? I'm feeling better than I have been doing so am wandering round the house putting stuff back to rights atm with no organised list as such. Just doing stuff as I see it.

Mini Movers - what's that? and is it expensive? Have been looking for something for lo to do but not a lot locally unless you drive, which I don't!

Right off to put kettle on, check oh's progress with the painting and tidy kitchen! bbl and read thread properly xx

Ed's sight and hearing is great, he's a heavy kid but tall with it. They want to follow it up in January

Just got back and I'm making lunch. Pastrami on french stick. Then I have to pack to go swimming this evening so we'll have a relaxing afternoon before hand.

Have fun

Lucys can you email me with your address it's woofycreature at gmail dot com
EHM I live in Scotland, so probably not in the area. I think I got mixed up - there is a party thing available called musical minis I just get confused.
We are probably going to hire a little soft play near us with a party room. It's local so all mums should be able to walk there easily.
Kind of thought about getting someone in to do activities, but might do my own. Plus doing own sarnies and cakes.

Any pre-schooler party game recommendations gratefully received!
Can they focus enough for musical statues/bumps do you think?

TMH does your mum keep chickens?

Hi everyone. I mistakenly posted on yesterday's thread - but popped on to say hi and thanks for the motivation - am racing around during the precious naptime, and will log on again soon to catch up and account for myself! Thanks all!

Okay I'm back! 20 mins tidying, and the house does look 20 mins cleaner so let that be a lesson to me!

SO I put away the drying up, duted the living room (mission) and cleaned the dining room window. I like the sound of rowingboat's "Pamper" mission, and may attempt that one next

GO No mums friend has chickens and my grandad used to keep some. I would love some and once we have space will have some. I keep asking DHs dad if they will get some back on the farm - but he is too busy with the cows

I am having a hot flush - one of the side effects of having my ovaries removed - lovley

TMH MIL calls them 'Tropical moments'! Are you on any form of HRT? You're still young for the change even though it's been done surgically

GO Extreamly mild oestrogen. Can not have full HRT as it would have been pointeless removing the ovaries. Also HRT can increase the risk of the breast cancer (even thought it is already 85%), so they want to leave it until after the surgery. One of the current thoughts it that hormonal changes can trigger the mutation to become active

It is awful though - night sweats are the worst. DH is being great putting up with me Libedo is fine thought dont think I could cope with that at 34

hello again! Just popped in to see what's going on on here really! not a lot done, online shopped, tidied kitchen and general pottered and played with lo. House not looking too bad really to say I've had no organisation going on whatsoever this week.

WM nearly finished so will put washing out in a mo then make oh a cuppa and stick bathroom curatins in the wm & keep pottering I think.

rowingboat I will mail address in a mo, just pop kettle on . . .

Hi all,
Just back from run and quick bath. So only one more to go this week - Saturday. Anyone else for a run?? Ludaloo ??
TMH are you a farmer's daughter? I was just wondering as you do like to be on the go, which I kind of associate with farmers. They can't stop or the animals starve, kind of thing. My auntie kept chickens and when they go too old to lay they ate them. I would find that a bit tough, after giving them names.

babystep 29 is pampering self think I can manage that. face pack - moving to evening

Wearing facepack as I type.
Legoleia the real mission is a salt scrub, but I couldn't be bothered with the slimy bath tub today.

To do
washing out 10 mins done
tiles tiles tiles at least 2 hours groan - have done another two and want to do another two before beddybo's.
email work about pension 30 mins

afternoon
lunch 45 mins doing that now yum! grin
15 minutes feel the fear
run at around 3pm - make that 4pm DONE very pleased with my tubby self.

Not time for swimming

I will just check emails now Lucys
