Just started the free trial for amazon prime & first order of service is a @MaiselTV binge

Both the girls are asleep. At the same time! I’m meal planning for the next 2 weeks & as soon as Daddy has his head back in our game & out of yesterday’s VIP treatment up at Anfield I’m locking myself in our room with my book until it’s time for wine!

Husband is off on a football jolly today & the girls have already exhausted the craft box. Its going to be a long long day #soloparenting

Kudos to you parent bloggers out there. All of you!

How you manage to find time to raise tiny terrorists AND write about it completely amazes and impresses me.

What should be a glorious Friday feeling is actually me ready to lose my shit at every member of this household. #mamasnothappy

Reasons for not going back to work, 1. Application forms. Ugh they’re so long & laborious. It’s all there on my CV!!!!

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

Now terrified if I don’t supply an alternative my already broken sleep thanks to the boob monster toddler means I might as well not even bother to attempt sleep. #itsaviciouscircle #willieversleepagain

You know when you cook for the kids knowing they’re more than likely not going to eat it but you cling to the hope that today might be different. Yeah, today isn’t different & I’ve eaten 3 portions of shepherds pie.

Now we have to go out to get the eldest new school shoes because she won’t stop growing. I want to do that less than I want to clean the bathroom. Family trip to Bluewater it is. I’m taking a list & sticking to it. I made it through Ikea I can do this #spendlesssavemore2019

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

I’ve already lied to the eldest & told her the toaster has stopped working because I’ve even cleaned that & I don’t want crumbs everywhere.

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

Bathroom NEEDS cleaning so naturally I decided to deep clean the kitchen instead. It looks great so if I can keep my family out of there forever now that would be ideal #ihatecleaningthebathroom #procrastinationqueen

This was an outstanding podcast with our friend, @JamesClear. He wrote an incredible book called "Atomic Habits" that gives simple and powerful advice on how to incorporate new habits and get rid of bad ones. Podcast 165 | Habits https://t.co/dRzBSYRYl8

Just assured the 4 year old that I will not forget.... I was putting linen away though & wasn’t listening so there’s definitely trouble ahead.

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

The eldest & I literally ran through the store tot he self service area only to find a big gapping hole where our table & chairs should have been despite online stock checking beforehand. Only came out 2 pink chairs so still a win!

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

Headed to Ikea for a table & chairs for the girls since we have no room for a dining table in our cottage. This will be a true test of my growing determination to stop spending. We all know Ikea is the uk version of Target, the black hole of spending unnecessarily. #wishmeluck

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

2019 will be an attempt at saving & most importantly just reducing our spending. We need to pay down our debt & stop buying crap because we think we need it #frugalliving #debtfreecommunity #letsdothis #unremarkablemama

Had to suffer through a 5 year olds birthday party this afternoon. When did parents stop the ‘drop ‘em & run’ move? Rather pleased they didn’t just ply them all with sweets though since it was an afternoon do. Also no wine, am I the only parent who hopes for alcohol there?

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

Changing the sheets on bunkbeds is a full blown workout. If I was a gym goer (which I am not) I wouldn’t bother going today. I’d probably just pour myself a congratulatory glass of wine *goes to pour wine #happysaturday #isitwinetimeyet

[Unremarkable Mama @UnremarkableMa]

My husband is on a health kick. He’s lost 10kgs over the summer holidays & I just inhaled 2 flakes & poured a glass of wine #balance

Stripped all the beds this morning, got it all washed & dried (thank you fabulous weather), remade the girls beds all before dinner & now I’m sat on my own unmade bed trying to must the energy to make it. It will do lovely to crawl into once it done but I’m sooooo #tired #help
