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

Evening all! First chance I've had to get on the net today.

Sounds like good days all round.

Thought you'd been awol JKS. How are you all?

DS is not well, been hot all day, but I think it's a combo of too much sun this week and it looks like the dratted oral thrush is back.
We still managed a nice day, up at PILs for lunch and then out for tea (after the football finished )

Going to sort online shop now.

Evening

Had a bit of a headache first thing but not too bad

Made sure I went out all day so H had to have the dc. Sure enough at 2pm I got a call asking where I was and saying they'd been to the house a few times because the dc wanted to come home.

DD told me they wanted to come home because daddy wouldn't play with them and they just watched too much tv and they didn't eat enough . Plus ds wore the same nappy all day and when they came back it was so full of wee it was by his knees Don't know what I can do.

My house is FILTHY. DD has an inset day tomorrow and I might be watching one of her friends in the morning. Also meant to be going to my friend's for coffee and cake (it's her birthday). At the very least I need to hoover, dust and mop though, it's really bad!

Oh Freaky, he's such a prat.

Don't panic! Break it down into chunks, and you'll get there a bit at a time.

Oh Freaky It's a controlling move, he is trying to make sure you have no life by neglecting the DCs when they are with him. He is of course banking on the fact that you won't stand for it, and that you therefore won't try and have anymore 'nights off'.
Is there maybe a local babysitting circle or something that you could join so that you aren't reliant on him for childcare? What a complete arse he is

Wasting that sounds a lovely day, hope DS is feeling better in the morning!

DS still not asleep here. We thought he was down and then he started howling. While DH was away I never had a murmur from him during the evenings, but since he's been back DS is more disturbed. Hoping it will settle down again in a few days. DH is up there now trying to settle him.
