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

Finally got my work room finished.

I have been having troubles getting onto mumsnet for 2 days, on AOL it kept saying unknown web address , DS1 said to me this morning 'why don't you try going through internet explorer??', tried it and here I am

Next I will;

Ali maybe still have time then nudge nudge

Well I am no longer child free tonight, instead I am going to have five children Devil child and devil siblings are coming to stay the night here [terrified] Their mum was really stuck though and she'd do it for me so I couldn't say no. I don't mind really but I just have no control over her dc and they are really naughty and hard work. (really must stop calling her devil child, my sister started calling her that after she spat in her face when she told her off for kicking someone else)

Ali your dh sounds lovely

I survived!

They were pretty good actually, only took me an hour to get them to go to sleep after I put them to bed and with 4 dc's in together I don't think that's too bad.

Have done v little today other than get them all up dressed etc, lots of washing up, 3 loads of washing and uncovering my house from all the debris they left behind!

Think friend is coming for a glass of wine and then I may go to a bbq.

DS just clipped a peg onto his willy then said "ow it hurts". Well yes ds....

Glad your dh got straight to looking after you ali

Thanks Plum, he is lovely and I think I am often guilty of taking him for granted. For example today he took DS to the swings while I had my toes and fingers done, and now he is cooking a BBQ for us. I have strict instructions not to move from the sofa.
Mind you, I will have to do the clearing up later, that is not his forte!

What are hummingbird cakes?
