    I love suprises too, my Mum normally makes me choose half my present and suprises me with the rest, lol, I think this year I'm getting some makeup, brogues and a suitcase hahaha. I don't want anything though. I still want to cancel!


    Retro- I want soup :p

    Coco- that's why I'm glad to be single :D

    Retro - best of luck with the DIY! Hope you're better at it than me - I once put together a computer desk 5 times because I kept getting the base upside down and not realised until the very end!

    Daisy - no cancelling allowed!

    coco - what a bummer. I would have thought replacements were allowed, surely? ;)

    OMG - I have just spent far,far too long trying to get the Tesco codes (on the grabbit board) to work but glad I persevered as I ordered £65 worth of stuff but only paid £28 and got free delivery and then 500 clubcard points which are £20 in deals, if quidco tracks too that's £1.40 cashback too!
    Fingers crossed it all gets delivered.

    Retro - great news about the beds. Tesco and Argos have some half price single mattresses atthe moment with very good reviews, plus Argos are doing vouchers £5 for £50 spend or £10 for £100. Tesco have some codes too that work on the mattresses. Hope the boys like their space.

    Dylan has always woken up around the 4-5 am mark as a final no going back to bed. He also wakes up throughout the night some days, sometimes several times a night. So pretty terrible really, I just want him to wake up and play in his room for a bit instead of climbing all over me, jumping on me and trying to get me up too. It's sweet that he likes my company but also getting annoying now.

    good luck with the bed retro - my bright idea was putting together a coffee table, ended up with bits left over and now the front is hanging off one of the drawers:o

    Alex- those shoes are cute, put them in my watching but as I am currently persuading OH we need to book a hol I daren't buy anything else at the mo;)

    Vicki the sleeping does eventually get better, honest. My oldest two were really bad and now the oldest struggles to get out of bed before the afternoon and the middle one rigidly goes to bed at ten and wakes up at 7 during term time and 8 during the hols (yay for the autistic person's body clock!).
    I feel absolutely pants today, went to a party last night, youngest came with me so we were back by about ten but I'd had a shot of absinthe. Don't ever drink absinthe. It's almost pure alcohol, tastes beautiful despite that and one shot gives you the worst hangover ever!
    It was very quiet yesterday wasn't it? I thought there was something wrong with my computer! Obviously everyone was busy doing Eastery things.
    I got dressed this morning before my daughter reminded me I'd promised a pyjama day. Still got to nip out for some cat litter and fish fingers (our favourite tea tonight - mashed potatoes, fish fingers, sprouts and salad cream, yummy) in a bit and can't decide whether to leave her here, I'd only be out ten mins or force her to sit in the car in her pjs.
    I'm not wearing anything exciting today, black cord flares and a black/multi stripy jumper. I'm going through a real trousers phase at the moment, not worn a skirt for over a week and not getting withdrawal symptoms yet.
