I've had a lovely-if exhausting-couple of weeks looking after assorted dgc in assorted places! We've been to playgroup, soft play, nursery, playground, toy shop, swimming pool and some rather nice cafes. To top it all I still managed to lose 3lbs thanks to dil's support on the cooking front. Poor DH, however, was smitten with a dreadful sore throat of the can't swallow variety, and spent a lot of time attached to mugs of tea and paracetamol. He then developed a rash which made us a little concerned re measles given the very sore throat. Can adults catch measles?? He's on the mend now but still looks a bit pale and interesting! We're having a quiet weekend at home to recover, but now I've got itchy feet so have booked all my tickets/hotel for Edinburgh meet up!

I have had 2 DGCs here this week plus their mother and their uncle and another uncle and aunt attending for evening meals.
I'm gradually returning the house to normal by not leaving a room without picking something up and returning it to its proper place in another part of the house grin
Happy days grin

Ah yes - tidying up - moving objects from one place you do not want them to be to another place you do not want them to be and ripe for further tidying. Personally I have stopped bothering!

Luckygirl It's the pain of stepping onto the unseen piece of Lego that is my primary motivation shock

Tidying up? Not from GCs, but from my own messy lifestyle. The recycling bin is handily positioned by the side of the back door. Why do I have an umbrella on the coffee table?

Jilly Cooper called Lego, Sore Footo. Very appropriate, especially when it hides in a Flokati rug

Lego is great fun but not if you kneel on it... Ooya ouch
