    Last night was a bit of a diaster, ds was going to mums for a sleepover but once we got there he had a bit of an odd moment and went all clingy and refused to let me leave him there. I ended up bringing him home with me and my friend came here instead and we got takeaway. Ds went to bed at 9pm but spent 3 hrs getting out of bed / screaming / tantrums etc, until finally when he heard the fireworks and realised the new year was here and everything was fine still he settled down and was asleep before ten past twelve :rolleyes: Luckily he had a lie-in till 9 this morning, but it was a rubbishy new years eve :o:o
    Today we've gutted most of his bedroom and cleaned it to within an inch of its life ;) I've got most of the flat straight but I haven't done anything moneymaking yet. I did spend a tenner last night on food, but luckily today has been a nsd ;):D

    Ah sorry to hear your New Year's Eve wasn't up to much, but at least you got a lie in and have had a quiet day today;)
    We came home from my sister's this afternoon and I took all the decorations down and have a lovely clean and tidy lounge now...:p
    NSD for me too and G's sold me a big diary she got for Xmas so tomorrow (when I have more energy!) I shall get started with my lists,targets and so on.... You never know, I might get as organised as you yet....:rotfl:

    Happy New Year:beer:

    Last night I let the guinea pigs have a run around and one chewed through my laptop cable :eek: :eek: I had a scary evening of no laptop :o but I did get loads done indoors ;) I gutted all my paperwork, cleaned the kitchen and had an early night :D Ds slept from 8:30pm-8:15 this morning, so that was good too ;)

    We nipped to PCWorld to get a new cable and it was 59.99 :eek: :eek: so I went to Maplin instead, it was still 29.99 there,but a damn sight cheaper than PcWorld wanted :rolleyes:

    We've had a friend round for lunch and we went down the beach for a bit of fresh air which was nice, and now I want to catch upon here for half an hour before we brave Tescos :D

    Grr to the laptop cable - mind you, mine has a loose wire, which is being held together precariously with tape, so it is just a matter of time before I need to buy a replacement too.......
