Dusting off our lists, scrubbing up our slattern ways, you won't find any April Fools here!

[PlumBumMum]

Everyone is welcome,
we are a friendly bunch,
we post our lists big or small,
tick jobs off as we go along.

We give each other a kick up the bum when needed or shoulder to cry moan on,
and a pat on the back.

Cake & Coffee Alcohol always welcomed

Morning everyone Last night went well! DS didn't wake at all until nearly 5.30am, when he did DH went to him - cue 45 min tantrum that I'm sure the neighbours must have heard even though we are detached . It was so hard not to go to him, but DH had got him back to sleep by 6.15 and then none of us woke up until just gone 9am!
So same again tonight, feeling much more positive about it all now
