Ali, I wouldn't bother even thinking about it with a boy til they're at least two.
DS tells me when he's pooing now, but is always surprised when a wee comes out during nappy free time.

Hope the potty training goes more smoothly tomorrow JKS.

Hope the SW is of help Trinity.

Hope you've had a nice birthday CC!

And hope everyone else has a productive day tomorrow. (Even if today wasn't!)

I got my pantry cleared, nothing spilled, wasn't even that messy. So we'll be ringing landord and Transco first thing.

DH has IBS due to stress. Doctor's given him some new tablets, and a sick note for a week. Hope he feels better soon poor love, it's his birthday on Saturday.

Oh, and my Betterware parcel arrived today. My adjustable extra oven shelf is fab.

Epic post there!

PlumBumMum · 17/02/2010 21:38

Ali you will know when he is ready, potty training is the one thing I didn't rush my dcs into, and I really had it easy esp with the first 2,
dd1 trained when she had just turned 2 & ds when he was 3, dd2 was 2 and think she probably could have waited a few more months but she just wanted to be like the other

Well I was bad mummy tonight we had potatoe waffles, beans & bacon but time flew and everybdy was hungry and little time to make a feast

well everything is ironed
I have a wash on the clothes horse
so tomorrow I will need to put it all away

the dcs are going to get stuck into their rooms

Morning

We are only suggesting the potty training to DD at the moment (she is 2.3) but going to start it properly once the horses are moved and settled as our routine will change again. I wouldn't bother til the summer, but because of baby being due in August, that won't be possible, and as she starts preschool next january i would like it to be quite well established by then.

Wasting you made me laugh with your excitement over your oven shelf

Busy day today (and tomorrow, and saturday)
We are going to FIL's wedding saturday morning(have to leave 7.30am) and staying there for the weekend. But tomorrow i am out most of the day at stay and play, then do the horses, then out that evening with some mums for dinner, so today is going to be the day for packing etc.

Morning!

I had no idea how restricted I'd been by only one oven shelf until I felt so excited by my new adjustable one.

Lakeland may be sexier, but Betterware are cheap and had exactly what I needed not just what I wanted.

Hope you're feeling better soon HMHB.

kansasmum · 18/02/2010 10:53

I have a confession....its 10.45 and I am STILL in my PJs!!! Shocking eh? Haven't even got the excuse that I had another bad night with ds as he slept all night in his bed!!
Anyway despite being still in my jammies I have done this:

Cleaned the kitchen and sorted out the cleaning supplies cupboard! Its all sparkling and orderly now!
Empty d/washer
Wash up breakfast things.
Fed and let dogs out.
Sorted one wet load of laundry- about to start next load.

To Do

Venture out in rain to garage to empty t/drier.
Make Lemon drizzle cake.
Hoover entire house
Dust downstairs and clean living room windows- (window cleaner came yesterday so there is no blaming the dirt on the OUTSIDE!)
Wash floors and wipe round bathrooms.
Dds to dental hygienist this pm and then play taxi driver for them to get to their friends.
Go to PO.
Sort out ds's closet- he has quite a few clothes that are too small now.

Think that will do for today!!

Hope those of you that are poorly feel better soon.

Afternoon!

The Transco man found a leak and fixed it. It's such a relief, we've been living with it for weeks. Bit worrying that the Gas Safe man couldn't find it, when he's done the Lanlord Gas Safety check.
Anyway, I finally feel like I might be nearly almost getting on top of things in this house.
