Good to see I'm not the only one up at stupid o'clock! All thanks to a cold/allergies (haven't decided which as I usually don't sneeze with a cold, but I'm not usually bunged up with hayfever), and AF doing her worst. Have been up since 5. Even the cat has come in and gone to bed after having a cuddle and depositing mud all over me.
Moon is in bed, so can't really do too much as it'll wake him, and I've probably interrupted his sleep already by blowing my nose and sneezing, so he won't be a happy man when he gets up.
Think I may go and make myself a cup of tea and stick a load in the wash (now I can see outside) like you sam.
Sending vibes to soappie and to LL, and nice to see Diva back.

another one up at silly o'clock

Quick surf of the web with a coffee, then I think I'll sort myself out to get into work for 7, then I can leave at 1 :j:j
Plans for today
Foraging on my way home - blackberries & I think Mirabelle plums (yum)
Washing
Ironing
Locate warmer duvets & swap over
couple of HHC's in DS's pit
HHG (if dry enough)
Supermarket with yesterdays list (ran out of time yesterday)
Diary updates/get DH to make some decisions re dates - may be a WIP
Sort slightly whiffy fridge
see you all laterAlthough 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.

Well a load in the WM and I've just emptied the DW too. Think I may have made a bit of noise doing that whilst trying not to make any noise (you know the way that you always become clumsy when trying to be quiet) as I bashed my elbow on the metal plate for the microwave (on top of the microwave and under the cup cupboard), and it was like a gong! Elbow hurts now too.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170
