HHC was only 25 mins due to baby waking up!
he's had some milk & waiting for his lunch to cook.
I thinkmit was pigpen who said somewhere that toddlers (Olly is 15 months) live on fresh air & boogies!!! well I've noticed he doesn't eat so much. But that he's too tired in the evening. So am doing his dinner now & he can have his lunch later!

We have constant gentle rain and the garden looks so much happier :j.
I went out for a last child free shop this morning so this afternoon needs to be spent doing HHCs. At least I can't be distracted by the garden.
Serena - Leicestershire schools finish this Friday but they go back a week early too. It is traditional because the factories all shut down for 'July Fortnight' and the children mostly got taken out with or without permission so the school dates got changed to fit years ago.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

Afternoon all,
I didn't end up having to walk too far in the end. :jI walked past the garage and noticed my car was at the side where they usually put them when they've finished. So, i went in to see and they'd just finished. It failed because the fog light bulb was in the indicator's place. I had the new bulbs in my bag and OH was supposed to be doing it.:mad: Actually i can't blame him too much as i forgot to remind him. :cool:Apart from that it was all ok so i'm very happy that it didn't cost a fortune.
I'm so sleepy, i think i'll be having a very early night tonight. I won't even be sitting on the sofa let alone lying on it.
HHC at 1.30 anyone?0 -
