Evening all!
scatty hope your visit at the weekend goes OK. It is such a difficult situation to be in isnt it. I feel so helpless on many levels.Hope all goes as well as can be for you, and that your Dad is doing OK
mad i totally agree with swan and scatty about DC. They can change so rapidly even without a stress, and sometimes they do react to stress in very dramatic ways that seem to make no sense. After having 6 of them I have come to realise that the only predictable thing about children is that they are totally unpredictable!Mine have all gine through different"difficult" patches at difficult ages. then just as one passes through one, another one enters another one! DS1 has been quite challenging recently - before all the upset I mean ( practising for teenage years I think!)but I'm sure once he pulls round it will be someone elses turn! And DD3 has wet herself twice today - totally not like her at all, and I am thinking maybe a reaction to all the travelling and the stres she is picking up on in me and Dh re FIL ( although she is too young to understand)...this parenting business sure is a challenge!
swan gosh you've done loads today. What kind of pots have you got your spuds in? I need to get some pots for potatoes I think. I feel the same way about my summer clothes too! Really dont like them. Didnt like them much the year before last either - spent most of last summer clinging to my maternity clothes to avoid them - but here they are again! all perfectly wearable, and no money for alternatives so will just make do LOL
prof yay for new glasses
tort at bonfire
wolf greyskull hi!

well I'm not entirely sure what I've done today... think I got most of stuff done...let me se...

Done:
Fllors mopped
Tidied girls rooms
lots of washing, washed, hung out, taken in and away
Lots of playing with DD4
Lots of cuddles with DS2
Spag bol - done, eaten cleared
Littlies bathed and bed
Stories for older girls
DS to fencing

Not done:
Morrisons for compost ( on way home from school tomorrow am)
Baking - tomorrow

Also tomorrow DD4 has her first session at nursery. It is just a vivit for an hour, and I stay with her so should be OK She has been excited for ages but now says she doesnt want to go....we'll see.
I cant believe I feel quite sad about it too!
Others have all gone to nursery/playgroup at similar age but just feels different fo DD4 somehow... maybe cause she was meant to be our last (LOL!) and she is still kind of the "baby" girl...anyway I think she'll love it when she gets there.(or maybe I always feel like this....cant remember - knowing me I probably do!!)

Not much else to do today... need to check todays babystaep that I have avoided -oops!
WILL shine sink..
Then reading and yes no doubt another early night

Have good evenings all!

Scatty i hope not! No one was at the camera as we walked past. Wasn't on the evening news.Tried to find a news video from this morning but can't find anything. Woul have been nice to watch it.

Playing on wii fit at the moment. Just did 30 min step while watching eastenders lol!

Got 2 loads of washing dry today and have reached the bottom of the pile.

evening ladies,
have had another good day - sadly cutting down on internet time has really helped the house work.

the kitchen is sparkling
the washing is all done and 90% of the ironing is done
bedrooms are all clean and tidy
diningroom is immaculate
meals planned for the week
the plan for tomorrow is to work on the toy storage in the sittingroom.

I am focussing on these things as the other bits aren't going well - so lets focus on the good stuff - THE SUN IS SHINING well not at the moment because it is dark
