Hi all

I went to Game and got the thing I can't mention because the dds are in the room

babyjj start with the kitchen, do 15 mins, then bathroom, then anywhere else you see regularly for as may bursts as you have time for (take a break every hour), thenhoover the whole house

well done Jas

I have seen the crayons Ruby and want to have a go next week. Were they easy? I think we'd have fun making them

I have full moon moods too - I cried today when dd and I called into Waitrose and were choosing their monthly charity donation thingy..one of the three choices is a local hospice for terminally ill children..just reading it out to dd made me cry Dd looked at me like this

Dd and I went all the way into town to visit Boots to buy Pudsey badges only to find they'd sold out Still, extra Pudsey stickers arrived from the fundraising website today and we are chuffed with them

The house is much better than it was earlier, I seem to have been fairly well motivated today ...maybe that's another effect the full moon has on me

babyjjbaby · 11/11/2008 18:14

what would u do tho what do u think i should do cleanign wise not bothered bout tidying as once i start putting things away it is soon done

Ed got a fantasic report from his teacher. It was just compliment after compliment about his work and attitude and to me and DH for the work we put in with him I am very proud and very chuffed with him.

I am also shockingly tired and all my leg joints are aching DH is making tea so I'll put Ed to bed and read him his favourite story.

Night ladies. BTW the moon must affect us, it makes the tides so if it influences the oceans, we're small fry really.

babyjjbaby · 11/11/2008 19:42

wow u have been busy beast i know what u mean bout legs aching i have bad muscles and find that in the winter they hurt more

intravenouscoffee · 11/11/2008 19:56

Hello all. Wrote a lovely long message at 3pm and then MN crashed and DD woke up so I haven't been back since!!

Kitchen looking better so feel I have achieved things today. Just going to have a quiet night in front of the telly and maybe a relaxing bath. DH is out so can watch all sorts of rubbish

Full moon DEFINITELY affects people. As a nurse I used to dread night shifts on a full moon - got all sorts of stuff coming in. Also have a friend who is a policewoman and she says on a full moon they go out to hundreds of fights.

Welcome back Baby
Hello to everyone else. Wrote lots of personal messages at 3 but they all vanished into internet nothingness!

wendylanguage · 11/11/2008 21:27

Hello you flywolves
When I was TTC DS my reflexologist used to go on about full moons and i'm sure she was right. I have been like a mad woman this week - sad, reflecive, crazy, nagging and just plain disturbed. Mind you it is pmt too.

Had a horrid day today as well, just no patience and even cried when DD wouldn't put her shoes on (after DS had not done about 10 things eitehr!)

Had photos done by Tempest at school with all grandparents and SIL and BIL. Went ok. DD cried and cried and finally decided she was hungry and fed her cheese sandwich in her bedroom lol.

Feel like my life is a mess atm.

Oh well I'll stop feeling sorry for myself, thanks for all your support you lovely ladies, you are wonderful.

I'll try for an early night tonight, last night slept badly again

See you all tomorrow.
