Well since 4pm yesterday until 3pm today i have done 13 loads of washing!!! Shocking how much washing accumulates. all the wardrobes and nappy shelf look much healthy now and thank goodness its all done. Luckily for me it has been a lovely warm and waindy day so ALL of it got dried, ironed and put away by 8pm tonight........i am exhausted!!

Our tumble dryer arrives on Wednesday and i think it is going to make a huge difference. Winter in our house is usually full of illness with my arthritis and Hollie's asthma so without the wet washing to aggrovate both of those i am hoping winter is going to a much easier season to deal with.

Talking of Hollie and asthma......when we put her to bed tonight she was quite weezy which is strange. The pollen count has been quite high today so i don't know if this as triggered it but anyways, she had her inhaler for the 1st time in months and tbh i am checking on her loads as she is really weezy. Looks like a sleepless night for me as i can't settle very well if i know her asthma is playing up. She has had so many attacks in the past that each time she has an episode like this i worry. Fingers crossed it passes over night.

Madison has been a joy this last few days. She is teething bless her and her cheeks are soooo red but she is starting to get a proper personality. Its at this stage that Craig and i love about having kids. She is cruising round every bit of furniture and i am sure she is going to walk soon. Thats when the real hard work comes in. Need to get the stair gaes sorted for the lower stairs and kitchen door.

Dad stayed until after the match today. I always gone a bit of lull when dad leaves as he feels so far away and i love him being around. He has helped loads since he arrived yesterday afternoon and he is fab to be around. Craig and the girls love having him here too.

Off to bed now. Been up since 7am and have been manically trying to get all the wet washing dried and ironed. Misson accomplished.
