Oh dear - I've just cleaned my teeth with the kiddie tooothpaste (mmm strawberry), yesterday I nearly put the potty doings in the laundry basket, the day before that I nearly poured the kettle into the tea caddie...


Is anyone else doing daft things as we (ahem) multitask in our sleep-deprived 'where's the intravenous caffeine?' state?


And to think they let us drive cars.....

hmmmm...while I was writing this post this morning our eldest daughter (nearly three) got hold of my bright pink nail varnish and did her toe nails....


...the rest of her feet


her bottom

most of her right thigh

her pyjamas

Dad's vibrating massage chair.


Then I heard 'Mummmmmmyyyyyyy...I need some help!'


:-$

I still can't think about a couple of week's ago "but we just wanted to see what your make up looked like mummy......" incident on the beige carpets of our bedroom (and subsequent enormous bill) without weeping silently.


Driving scares me sometimes, I often forget why I am in the car at all......

I've walked home from morning school run with childrens coats and book bags still in my hands soooo many times.....and then in the afternoon remembered the children but left the poor dog tied to the school railings a few times.


Quite often get dogs & childrens names mixed up when calling them too.


Oh dear.

Believe ...


...it or not "we" do the same things too



LadyW**F says....


"How MANY times has this washing been through the machine..? "



I say.....


" Err.. has it "



*she frowns, I grin *




The other day whilst spraying myself with Avon "soft & gentle" dry oil


I opened my eye ( to check it was working ) whilst spraying my face


Ooooh that stung



"Oh, you have got one red eye "



"Yes, I DO know.....thank you..."



W**F

Not mummying as such but quite a few shopping incidents which i solely blame on hormones and tiredness due to children - scarily all in the last 2 months:


finishing sainsburys shop, paying for it, put kids in car, go to put shopping in boot and realise that i hadn't put any of the items (big weekly shop) in bags but all back in trolley separately.


finishing sainsburys shop, paying for it, put kids in car, put trolley back in trolley park, drive home, go to unpack and realise that i have left shopping in trolley - go back to sainsburys and go to security guard and luckily some kind man had handed in my trolley!!!


and the age old fav, go shopping, check out and realise wallet is at home - aghaghaghaghaghagh


oh the joys

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
