Evening all!
Maybe - I understand that you are used to your OH been a BLEEP but you deserve so much better. You do so much for him, and he does nothing for you . . . . please don't let him drag you down. It makes me so mad that he treats you like he does, you are amazing but you shouldn't have to put up with that. He should be supporting you, but its like he just makes everything harder for you. I hate to think that he makes you feel bad when you do so, so much.
Amy those potato wedges sound pretty good to me too
Hannah do you have black out blinds? Oliver used to get up quite early, until we got black out blinds - he's been known to sleep until 10am now - usually on days when we should be at baby club for half nine
FruFru you're making me feel tired with your talk of yoga . . . . thats not good is it
Steve is pretty good at DIY but it takes some nagging to get stuff done - for example he sanded down the inside of our front door in June ready to paint it, but hasn't painted it yet 
His trade mark is that he never completely finishes a job - every room has a little job still waiting to be done!! I find that if I really want something doing and I've nagged and not got anywhere, I either say I'm going to go do it myself (if its something I could just about do) or I tell him I'm going to ask my Dad to come and do it. Threatening to do it myself has a 100% success rate - I've never got further than switching on the drill or whatever before he's taken it off me . Threatening to ask my Dad is about 95% - he's let him do a few bits to my car, but in the house its 100%. I think it triggers the male ego thing
H&F Steve never washes up either - if he does he does half of it and gets distracted He doesn't really do housework though - we've lived together for almost six years and he has never, ever cleaned the bathroom Tonight he cleared one of the kitchen cupboards that had a whole load of wine making things in it (he used to make wine but doesn't now) so that I could put Oliver's things in there. I was really impressed that he did that, until I went in the kitchen and found the wine making stuff ALL over I think I'm used to him now, he's pretty good other than been a messy bugger
Well we went to baby club this morning - for once we were up in time and I even got a shower and dried my hair and got the GHD's to it before we went! Had a lovely time. As we left me and one of my mummy friends were walking to the cars, its about a 4 minute walk. As we left the building we commented on how it looked like rain - then it started to drizzle, and before we knew it it was absolutely throwing it down - I've honestly never been out in rain like that! The babies were crying, we were completely drenched. Luckily its only a five min drive home but the roads were shocking - there was a good foot of water at one point. When we got home I just had to srtip off and put my dressing gown on - I had had on a big coat, a jumper and a t-shirt and I was literally soaked to the skin! My hair was like I'd just stepped out of the shower, I took all Oliver's clothes off and wrapped him in towels and dried him off, which he thought was really funny. Bloomin typical that that happens on the first day in about a month that I've done my hair Its really horrible and windy outside now, I'm worried about the chickens but Steve says I can't bring them inside
Right, well I'm off to bed, sweet dreams to you all . . . sleep well to all your babies!!!
Oh, and I have my ad space, woo hoo

V's son is 6 and his daughter is 10 so they're only little and so very easy to get on with!
We tried her on some porridge around lunch-time and think she liked it although she did get half of it around her mouth 
yes you read right! he is cooking!!!!!!!!!! 
I am doing a baby yoga class for Joni too - we have only been to one class but she seems to like it. It is much the same as the silly playing we do at home 
that has happened to Joni and I before and I literally came in, shut the door and stripped down to my undies in the kitchen 
Did you manage to get it fixed today?
I am glad you had a lovely afternoon, the painting activity sounds like an absolute bargain for 2 quid!
that your sister's labour is finally getting going. I hope that things go speedily and smoothly for her and baby from here on in. Bless you for taking back up to meet Vinny's ex, I would have probably done the same. It is great that you got on with the kids so well and that his daughter took to Daisy so well 
After a play with Joni and her feed this morning I did 2 loads of washing, 2 loads of washing up, made bottles, sterilised the next set of bottles and cooked a spag bol. Then I went out to help my BIL relocate my nieces guinea pigs to their new house. When I got home we ate the spag bol and then popped into the city for hubby to pop into a couple of shops and the library with Joni while I went the docs for my implant. THen it was home and bedtime and now it is now PHEW! tired now 
I did not cross anything off the list today but it has been a productive day nevertheless
