Wiped out

 I'm staying at Cass's for a few days, wading through lots and lots of washing. Her two littlies have both been unwell and consequently have reverted to not being toilet trained. Despite being back in nappies leaks are occurring, hence the mountains of washing I'm doing.

We've filled the washing line and all her airers many times, constantly swapping washing machine loads. The dishwasher has just been emptied for the third time today.

The littlies are in the bath being supervised by an older sibling, another one will read them a story. All the children are encouraged to help with the younger ones. I'm posting on here briefly and then I'll start the ironing. She has two older children due to visit soon to see how they settle.

How lucky they are to have you go to their aid. Also, a good way to begin living away doing your own thing. Don’t overdo things and get enough rest 😊 as you are no good to them exhausted. As always, best wishes from Northern Ireland x

Oh gosh, it sounds like full in child care, thank goodness your daughter has you to help. Having the older children help with the younger ones is a brilliant life lesson for them and really helps with bonding for siblings and non-siblings.
