Slatterns getting Sorted for Summer!

[PlumBumMum]

Here it is a new thread for June, and to motivate us for the Summer

I was going to vote but didn't realise I needed a card thing (have never voted before) - then I realised the electoral roll form thing is still sitting on the bedroom windowsill waiting to be posted - we moved in over a year ago! I blame being heavily pregnant at the time...

Hi, evening shift here.

JKS - yup work know that antenatal appointments are free time off. It did take most of the day though as had one at 9.30 and one at 1.30pm and only got to work at about 3pm so felt a bit guilty.

Ali - checked out your thread. Stoopid families.

Wasting - and checked out yours, although couldn't think of anything to help. DS has a dummy and a taggie which he absolutely loves and has had since a baby. He watches Peppa Pig and has his milk every night, then stories then bed. He loves a routine. He is lots older than your LO though. Eeek I'll have to go through this all again soon - What did I do last time???? I think I may have bf him a bit before he went to bed so he didn't associate the two??? Can't remember!

I was in the middle of doing dishes so was trying to find something to dry my hands when ds appeared and said dd2 has done a poo in her pants and shes taking them off!
When I got to her room she was sitting on her pillow with a pooey bum and poo pants sittng in front of her[yuck]
All my fault for feeding her lots of strawberries then not believing her that she needed to go,(she does chance her arm after being put to bed, esp if bigger ones are taking their time)

I hate dreams like that Alice, it'll fade.

I'm having an odd morning. DS slept through, that's twice in a row. Which is good and hopefully not a result of the head bump! But I went to bed late so didn't get that much sleep.
And then when I went into the kitchen, I appear to have left the chicken carcass out on the side. I was nearly in tears, what a waste!

And now I'm covered in Moon biscuit. There's more on me than DS.

My list for this morning was a little ambition, but I've not done too bad so far.
