Slatterns getting Sorted for Summer!

[PlumBumMum]

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

HMHB are you putting dh to bed or ds to bed?

Crap didn't realise the time, better put the dcs to bed, then dh

PBM - ah, yes it was definitely DS oops .

CWWM - as I was saying earlier, had PND badly last time and I don't think you realise how bad it is until you are out of it. A few of the girls who had babies at the same time had anti-depressants for it, I had counseling (through GP surgery) which worked for me. Probably lasted a few months, until I went back to work really (I always felt a bit rubbish as a full time mum).

Vitamin B is good too as you would have lost a lot of vits after the birth though don't take in the evening as it might keep you awake as it stimulates the nervous system. Talking is good and mnetting is good. I found I had to select certain people in RL to talk to as either they didn't understand or I didn't want them to know.

Plum - ooh exciting!! You'll have a new baby to sniff!

CWWM - well done on weight gain! You are absolutely right to take things at your own pace. Just be upfront with people, as you say they only mean well

SB - I'm glad you feel better. It's amazing how far down you can get before you realise what's happening.

TA - hope you're feeling better, I'm now so old that I get 2 day hangovers!! (32)

Morning

My house is a real state today, don't know why but I'm just not on top of it at the momeent and it gets worse by the day! Am going to forget most of my list and just say that today I must properly clean floors (downstairs), and clear some of the clutter.

If anyone wants to join me in some 15 minute dashes of cleaning then that would be great because I am really lacking in motivation.

Doesn't help that ds was up super early this morning then got back in bed with me and fell asleep so dh and I did too then it was 8.30 when dd came in and woke us all up-next time I looked at the clock it was 10am so I feel like half the day has gone with me having done nothing.

GOOD MORNING EVERY ONE

Can you tell I'm very cheery this morning as I am an AUNTY, I have a little niece, Beth Mary, born at 4.26am, 7lb 3oz, and we are all very excited, apparently she looks exactly like my babies when they were born

So I ahve been up and got dishes done before school runs!

going now to
put on a wash
finish tiding kitchen
hoover
get sterilizer out of attic
& baby born carrier
Tidy livingroom
find my list from yesterday

will add more
