    morning all

    Slept ok but am achy this morning as spare bed is too soft (orthopaedic mattress my backside). Friend coming about midday so will try and do jobs before then. It's much greyer and cooler today which is a relief. :) Think dyson needs emptying first. We forgot to put the recycling out last night which is really annoying but we can pop some stuff to the bins across the road. Have now written all the dates onto the calendar for the next couple of months.

    Am just watching mary, queen of shops from last night as it is a bakery dh knows!

    Neighbours were shouting and screaming last night, I had to put my ear plugs in. they seem to keep very odd hours - the other morning they were arguing at 4-5am. Hope our baby can get used to sleeping with a bit of noise. I've only really noticed since I've been sleeping in the spare room a bit as our bedroom is on the other side of the flat.

    Morning all,

    Happy Birthday Saver, i hope you have a great day.

    I've had a bit of a manic morning so far due to getting up at 7.50 leaving us 25 mins to get ready.:eek: I'm just finishing my breakfast and then does anyone want to join me for a HHC at 9.45?

    Morning all :) successful morning, kids off to school without loosing my temper. Unfortunately feel VERY tired, so much so I just dozed off for a few minutes. I'm going to double double check there isn't anything on today and if not I might sneak back to bed for a bit after I've put DS2s sheets in the wash (one of the many reasons I got 2 hours sleep!) Actually I think I will clear living room clutter first.

    Hope you all have a good day x x x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
