23) write lists of things, including things you do/would like to do, whilst ignoring 9 & 7 yr old boys playing robin hood around you with a 15 month old boy running after them, and into everything!
the ever growing luvpie household currently contains, 4 boys, 4 chickens, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 4 fish, an empty tropical fish tank waiting new arrivals, now are we daft to look at our broody hen thinking, if we got some fertilised eggs........

MrsF, if you struggle to remember you could try setting an alarm. OH takes Warfarin, and 6pm every day his mobile phone alarm goes off to remind him. If we're not home and he hasn't got tablets with him, he resets his alarm for later.

35) when i was a child, i was made to go to bed, even tho' i was wide awake. In the morning i was made to get up, even tho' i was fast asleep...... nowadays it's pretty much the opposite!
it's either one or the other, or neither of the two.
