    Whoa! That sounds intense!

    Um. I only have one DD and DH minds her while I go to ballet twice a week. I was doing pilates once a week too, but I found it too much, especially since I can't predict those nights when DD is up 3 or 4 times (with teething/illness etc).

    As for the house. I try and kick DD and DH out once a fortnight and give it a really good clean, so the rest of the time its just surface cleaning iykwim?

    Go easy on yourself hun. You must be exhausted!

    I agree that is full on! I struggle to add exercise into my routine, especially when we have little sleep and the kids are sick/teething (seems to be constantly here ATM). You are doing such a great job with everything whilst DH is working - that is a massive effort.
    Generally I walk for ~45mins/1hr with the pram each day. I try and go swimming twice a week (this is a new thing) but any more than that and it gets way to hard to manage and I get too tired and run down. I am also in bed early as I find that I get too far behind otherwise but both my girls flake out early as they get up at a ridiculous hour and often don't sleep well day or night.
    My house is cleaned once a week but often is messy for the rest. I struggle to fit in the
    TBH sounds like you have got things very well sorted - and are doing a fab job. It is really hard when the kids are sick and you have extra stuff on. Be kind to yourself!!!!!

    Well hopefully I'll have this bloody inspection today...which means rushing around again making sure everything is clean enough... Once thats over it'll be easier.
    Oh & now that my rent is up to date (as of yesterday ) less stress again (recieved a termination warning last week, but wasn't far enough behind for them to act on it).
    Think I'll try for a nanna nap today, but something usually happens to ruin it...
