    Thanks Sammy! An hour of reading my rambling must have been hard work at this time of the morning so 10/10 for that!

    Time to leave work unmanned for 5 minutes while I rush home, pass the baton to DH and try and grab an hour's sleep before the kiddies wake up, then face the day...shattered! Not planning on much today - here's the list:

    1. Sleep

    Hugs to the sleepy and hopefully sleeping Panda.

    Hope you get lots of rest today and maybe do the odd thing on your list but rest is more important

    Managed to complete yesterday's list in full and feel much better for it today! Had to stay up till 10 when DH came home for a 2hr break, but made him take the kids back to work with him so I could sleep from 10-2 which was lovely. There's something about daytime sleep that's so much better than night-time!

    Got the plasterer here at the moment (found him on MyHammer - I only posted there to get the £4 Quidco!), he's doing the dining room ceiling where there was a big hole from leaking bath, and he's skimming over the bathroom artex while it's just an empty room.

    It was our wedding anniversary yesterday - 5 years - so we had a Chinese last night with money that my mum had sent for us to get a bottle of wine with. Other than that (which doesn't really count as it wasn't our money!) it was a NSD.

    Now, I wonder if the kids will stay quiet for long enough for me to make my squares...

    Just checked my ebay autions - the car is at £920 so got a bit to go but looking promising. The moses basket is up at £10.50 and the bathroom thing's at £31. I can't wait for them to finish because as soon as I get the cash it's going straight to the Egg card and we'll be sub 80k (again!).

    Yes, I'm determined it will! But it's amazing how cheap you can buy really good bathroom stuff - this basin...

    ...is £35 delivered from Plumbworld! You can't even buy a cheap normal one in B&Q for that. So it's a bathroom on a budget but with no compromise on the designer fittings. We spent ages in a local designer bathroom showroom and then bought the whole lot off t'interweb for a fraction of the price.
