I'm really not doing very well today! Getting very stressed, need to chill out, but can't relax when there's so much to do! Aaarrgh!
I think I need to work on my 'Ongoing' list, as it's all a vague, amorphous, threatening grey cloud looming overhead.

OH poor PBM, how are you feeling now?

Being such a slattern now, have cooked lunch for DH, gone downtown to do some banking and made dinner for DC but dont want to do dishes after it .

DS took news about his phone rather well, Had to go into the school at lunch as he had a nosebleed and needed clean shirt and jumper

Thanks for the welcome, guys

Glad ds wasn't hurt

CWWM Sorry to see your thread about dd, don't know anything about her condition but feel for you as kids can be cruel, in my dds class her teacher changes their seats everyweek to stop little clicks forming

unloaded dishwasher
loaded brushed kitchen
cleaned kitchen

still some pots steeping

told dd she could shout at me tomorrow if clean washing wasn't sorted and put away, looks like I'm in for a right telling off as once they go to bed going to put gas fire on and relax

Chocolate vvv welcome here

Ali - DS2 only 14 months so not really old enough to learn. it was totally my fault, left it in reach when i went to wash my hands post-nappy change, came back and saw him sitting there with his hand in the cup and clothes soaked with tea.
Wrapped a wet tea-towel around the bits that had been touched by tea (to his bemusement!) and there was no redness.
Luckily it wasn't that hot and pretty sure he's fine, will be checking him over closely tomorrow though.

Plum - i'll hold you to it!
