Lunch done (just need to clear over after it now )
DD3 has pulled own the last pile of washing that I didnt put upstairs . Think I have rescued it in time before it got throd on.

3 "after" photos up there now as well.

4th "corner" will take longer so DS3 will probably be awake and have trashed most of the bits I've just tidied if I'd waited until all 4 corners were ok.

So before DS3 trashes them that's what they look like now

Wow FAQ, you have been busy, I need to get some of what you are on

oh and I put the dishwasher on too

Wow FAQ - good going!

Am achieving nothing atm.
waiting for man to come and collect high chair - sold on eBay.
ds2 is meant to be napping but keeps whimpering.
he'll probably fall asleep properly once the man has been and then we'll be stuck in until tea/bedtime.

need a ds2-sitter!

I'm back
JKS Its just on a Tuesday, although normally my MIL does the 3o'clock run so I come home get dinner started then take dd to dancing while she sits with the other 2, but she couldn't today

but I do sit at the school btn 2 &3 no point coming home or sometime have a quick cuppa at one of the other mums who live closer to the school

But I have been good today as dh said bring home chips, and I'm making pasta

Well i guess that's not so bad but still. what do you do btw 2 & 3 if not having tea at someone's house? with what age DD?
all to come i guess.....

well ds2 slept until 4.15 when i decided piling 2 LOs into car for trips to various places for boring jobs wasn't such a great plan...
so not a lot achieved but:

• dw on DONE
• laundry; 1st load in & hung up, 2nd load in
• tidy up in boys room DONE

Sit in the car do ds homework although only in P1 so not much, dd2 is 2.4 so can be challenging,
although MIL bought them DVD player for car a couple of christmases ago, which I cursed at the time, and they didn't get put into the car until the following Easter to prove a point but I must admit they are a Godsend on days like today

Sounds tough Plum, don't envy you!
