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

Aaaargh! My sister brought the dc loads of origami paper from japan and the house is COVERED in sheets of paper and dd's 'creations'. Thanks sis

Was really nice to see her even if she was only here for a couple of hours this time. Will see her again in 2 weeks for dd's birthday Am really hoping the weather warms up by then, was counting on chucking dd and friends out into the garden plus I used the rest of my birthday money to buy a braai stand and was really hoping to have a braai the eve of her birthday...

Wasting glad dh is home

JKS I love it when the dc have a busy and active morning, feel allowed to take it easy in the afternoon then!

Glad you enjoyed your birthday ali

I am shaking and feel sick. ds and I were in the garden and I was hanging out the washing, had about 3 things left to hang when ds went into the house. Finished hanging it out and went in, no sign of ds and front door wide open. Went into road couldn't see him anywhere ran to the footpath and saw him ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUSY MAIN ROAD-he'd gone to preschool to get dd. In the time it took me to hang those last few bits out he'd climbed up and got the keys, put them in the lock, opened the door and managed to get across both our road and the main road. Somehow without killing himself. Feel so so sick

FO Hugs to you how scary.
