So, it's raining again. How are you going to fill your day if not at work?

[beatie]

Any ieas? I'm sick of my four walls.

house work this morning - then taking dd to nursery this afternoon then off to lunch with frineds.

I'm going into birmingham to see some friends I used to work with!!
They haven't seen dd since she was tiny. Should be good.
Its brightened up here now

have just been looking up kids rain gear - trousers- so i can let them outside anyway to play!

When it's raining and I have the kids I head off to an indoor soft play area, are there any near you? It depends on the age of your kids, my 4 year old never says no to going to the cinema or going out to lunch (usually Pizza Hut, both my littlies love it). All these things do cost money though. Have you any friends nearby at home with their kids so you could pop round for tea and a chat while the kids all play together?

School and nursery today.

I feel a bit cr*p today, been awake since 5 when ds2 came into my bed and peed it.....

Will try to catch up on sleep later, need to go to Asda but sick of the sight of the place.....

soft play, garden centre, museums, galleries, cafes, library? We are going to the pram service at church this afternoon.

what's a pram service?

A pram service is very much like a play group only all the mums are nice to you as it is run by the church youth worker (so everyone is on best behaviour and attempting to be "christian") and we say prayers in the middle. And the story usually has a bible theme. We really enjoy it.

We could go to the museum to fill up some time. DD is 2y 6m, so, she doesn't care so much for it, but there are sometimes child orientated exhibitions on. Good idea.

I'm pregnant so soft play area is out of bounds - as is anything which requires much effort or energy. I'd usually happily walk in the rain but can't walk too far at the moment. Oh Sigh! Where is Spring?

I'm curling up in a small ball, and wanting to be a boy.

I'm cuddling a toddler with a broken arm.

Oh, and I've got a DP who's going to be coming home early which means I can catch up on a teeny bit of sleep.

Not much help to you though

Dropping DS to Playschool.

Going to the gym.

Then collecting DS and having lunch.

Taking DS to the creche at the gym for an hour, so he can have a play and I can have a coffee and read a paper from cover to cover.

Then.............................aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh somebody help me

I'm thinking that Creche's won't take kids in plaster will they?

its a really nice day here so im going shopping for an outfit for our first family photo and think i might get my hair done too

Got to go out in this huge downpour to take DS1 to nursery school which I will be very happy to do as he's been up since 5.30.
Tescos
Drive around this afternoon so DS1 will go to sleep and definitely find someone to visit!

No rain here yet.

My day off today, and we are off to stay with friends in Surrey for the weekend tonight. They are expecting their first baby in four weeks!

So today - doing some washing and will pack weekend bags, have a tidy round too. Must remember to go to PO to collect a parcel too. Then maybe a mooch round town - for a walk with DD. Not much TBH. It is my day off (well, one of them) after all!

lovely here compared to past 3 days. We are off to tots this morning followed by going shopping for clothews for my ever expanding waist and meeting a friend for lunch.

It seems like I need to move to another part of the country. Normally I do chores on a Friday and get the house sorted and clean for the weekend - but the wether forecast is for rain all weekend so there will be plenty of time to tidy up, mess up and tidy up the house over the weekend

suns come out here so (after max and ruby of course!!) i will take dd for a little walk(she's still poorly) to chemist for some dry shampoo and some milky way magic stars

This morning she's playing on her own for a while, while I do some chores, then we'll pop to Sainsburys and have our usual lunch out together somewhere, we like to be ladies who lunch on Fridays, and then we'll go Horseriding, unless it really chucks it down, we'll cope with a drizzle. Then over to nana's and we'll have a play there and tea and then I'll leave her for a night at nana's while D and I go out for dinner and have a lie in tomorrow, then we'll pick her up and go to a fete attached to the cschool I want her to go to when she's 5.

sunny here (manchester - that's got to be a first!)

thought this was another 'how unworthy is the life of a SAHM thread'

Oh g*d, no! Just looking for some ideas on how to fill my day since I was supposed to be going on a pic nic and it is cancelled. Lunch out is sounding appealing. Or is that too decadent?!

be off with you mud (shakespearian accent)
