Hey plum I'm not busy, just trying to stay awake! House looks like a bomb has hit it, and i'm busy tomorrow, so i will be back with a vengence on monday! Are you up to much this weekend?

PlumBumMum · 18/07/2009 20:33

dh's birthday tomorrow but not doing much, not much left in wallet, might make a start on cleaning out caravan incase we find a pot of money we could go away for one or two nights

alicecrail · 18/07/2009 20:41

With or without the dc?
We haven't been away from DD for more than a couple of hrs, but are hoping that a friend may have her for one night for our first wedding anniversary in october.
Are there any good places to take the caravan near you?

PlumBumMum · 18/07/2009 20:49

with the dcs, we haven't done much this summer so I have to get my bum in gear, there are loads of places near us for a test run, unfortunately we don't get the weather to enjoy all of the lovely places in Northen Ireland
and then hopefully next year we will explore down South

alicecrail · 18/07/2009 21:03

Hope your DH has a good birthday tomorrow We didn't do presents last year because all our money was going on the wedding, we still had good birthdays though.

I hope you manage to get away

Thanks PBM I will take a look DD is really into maths atm . Happy birthday to your DH .

HMHB ideas to keep you sane always make sure you have lots of stuff out for DS1 while you are BF ..DD seems to want the potty/drink/pens just as I sit down to BF .
Box sets are good too for you when there is nothing on tv in the middle of the night you can catch up on your favourite programmes .
I have also found that Galaxy chocolate seems to be helping to keep me sane .
