    Morning all

    Just been sat here checking out insurance quotes and towbar costs for the type of car we are considering.

    About to chuck SW's in the shower before we go out to the cimina as W calls it. Neither of them were settling down last night so I whispered to each of them would they like to go to the cinema tomorrow, of course they answered 'yes please' so I told them to keep it a secret from the other and go straight to sleep!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Oh dear - yesterday was a dead loss as far as flying is concerned. I had a bath just before dinner and then DS2 and I went out. I was really lucky and found several reduced long-sleeved t-shirts and a couple of tracky bottoms for him at George. Also a couple of cute baby t-shirts for a friend at work who has just had her DS2. My DS2 also got a really cool book about animals for £1.50, as the factory shop is closing down. DS1 was not impressed that I didn't bring anything back, but I didn't come across anything for him, really. I normally buy stuff when it's needed, rather than spending the same amount on each all the time.

    Must do better with the lists today. I still feel like there's a cold lurking, but will make a start (after finishing breakfast and another cuppa). After a good weekend DS1 and I are at loggerheads again, so that's getting me down. May need to borrow 'heads down and battle on', toots! See you all later.
