Permission to vegetate

[nobby]

Since getting pregnant I've been using my toddler's nursery sessions (2 mornings a week, term-time only) to go back to bed, or sit in the sun with my feet up, or buy Heat magazine and cake, or lie on the settee under a blanket.

Now, however, I'm 14 weeks and feeling much better and this necessary self-medication is starting to feel (gasp) like an indulgence and that I ought to start cleaning the house or something.

Can anyone help?

Good question nobby - I've been stupid- doing the running around thing (oh, and lots of mumsnet) - will now plan nice sitting-in-garden session.

Sod it, just phone in sick!

Draw eyeballs onto your closed eyelids very carefully, Meanmum. Make sure you are well propped-up in your chair and slumber away. It's fooled people before...

Good question Nobby. Hope someone knows the answer. While we're at it can anyone tell me how I manage to stay awake during work whilst staying up late to watch Big Brother when it is on. All tricks apart from toothpicks to hold open the eyelids appreciated.

Susanmt Errrr, yep. Better go and check on him.

And even when they are around, there's always Cbeebies for them and Mumsnet for you ......

Can't answer your BB4 question but permission is definatley granted......after all thats what nursery is for isn't it!

[nobby]

This is definitely helping...

But can anyone tell me whether BB4 will have finished before the summer holidays start - and nursery ends? So I can alternate sunbathing with ITV2 all the way through.

None of you are bad. Everyone needs time to themselves and as the job of a mum is never ending (and relentless) you all especially deserve it.

Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Make the most of it.

There's nothing better than self-indulgence when kids at nursery/school, and then when they come home you're ready to be super mummy again. I tend to record ER and Sex and the City and have a special lazy Thursday morning watching them. Am I bad????

Don't be ridiculous. My DSs are 2 and 4 and in nursery 2 days a week - I'm just on my way to the sofa with an icecream and a book!!
