Hi,
I've had a shower, ironed some clothes, got dressed, done my makeup, made Ds1's lunch and packed my college bag. Ds2 has just woken up and i've attempted to wake up Ds1 but i think he's gone back to sleep:rolleyes:. I've got to feed, wash and dress Ds2, nag Ds1 and dry and straighten my hair.
I probably won't get back on now until later so i hope everyone has a good day.
