Blackbags in the living room.

Gosh, it’s hot isn’t it?

Right, now we’ve got that over with! :grin:

As many of you will have noticed, we’ve been having some issues with the server, and that has taken up a lot of our time over the last day or so. Then there’s this work lark that I keep having to do as well.

Today was a work day, and the kids were pretty much exhausted after a long hot week at school and commuting. They vegged to Discovery Kids for most of the morning, then eventually got down to serious playing and completely trashed the living room. Despite several exhortations to sort it out, they didn’t, and consequently I’ve just put a lot of stuff into a black bag, which I’m going to put away, and they only get back when they manage to keep what is out tidy. Actually, I haven’t told them there’s a chance of stuff coming back out, but it was kind of difficult to be heard over the screaming :(

Small has had an excellent day with the toilet training, having transitioned from being dragged unwillingly to coming to tell me that he needs to go. Only one accident and the rest of the day he took care of himself. Well impressed - the end of nappies is in sight :)

And that’s pretty much it. There’s nothing on tv tonight, is there?

    Thanks for sorting out the server, i know it was horrid. Thought i’d let you know from here that i’ve had orders again, so it evidently recovered properly.

    Black bag thing works a treat i find - you don’t have to do it many times beofre it isn’t required.

    I should carry on, hurling stuff out is amazingly therapeutic!
