    thanks MLB.. the report was actually quite amusing.. they had 6 of the childrens names spelled wrong and 4 had the surname spelled wrong, bear in mind they all have the same surname!.. I was called something completely different and not even remotely like my name.. and parts of it were not about us at all and in other parts they got OH's and KH's names mixed up.. well they do start with the same letter!! so I am going to pee them off by making them redo them all with the correct information and spellings.

    Freja is on a 23 hour day!!!!!!! so we have been up since 7am.. but.. she can now smile.. not quite on demand but she did me the biggest smile when I told her to go to sleep!! She is fed and changed and scrabbling about like a wild windmill again.

    Children appear to be less grotty and tired this morning so hopefully we can have a less stressful day than yesterday evening was.. they have also been told I am expecting floor finding today which is always traumatic!!

    Morning...woohoo its the weekend. Last week whooshed by and work is getting busier and busier.

    Anyways, I have an unexpected visitor today staying over, which will be amusing as one bedroom is in the midst of being decorated, the other is occupied and ours is taken!!

    My dining room is rammed full of crapola mainly from said decorated bedroom.

    Going to tackle dining room and kitchen mainly today, although I also need to get on with the bathroom which is in an apalling state due to leak...still not fixed.

    Right, coffee first, then some form of breakfast, then assess the situation and dive in.

    Back later.
