    Me too - but things can generally wait another day. My two are v tired too so both have asked for a lazy Sunday, so no pressure on me to be out anywhere...

    Yes, DH was going to take ours out yesterday afternoon. Then I came downstairs and found them all colouring in - he said the girls didn't want to go out! Winter's closing in I guess - stodgy food and blankets here we come! (Well, actually that's pretty much me all year round :o:D)

    You just can't beat an afternoon of colouring in :D

    Take it easy.

    Haha! It used to make me laugh watching The Osbournes, when Ozzy, the "Prince of Darkness" himself, would be sat there with his felt tips, colouring in! :rotfl:

    Oooh, got a nice phlegmy cough now - nice _pale_

    That sounds nice, actually! Sorry you've got a virusy thing to go along with it - I know that feeling so well, sadly :( And the back killing you cos you've spent so long in bed :)

    Take care!

    I know, how dare I moan about that :o Right off to get moving. DD1 was sick in bed last night, so there are things to wash, the fun never stops...

    I used to have some 'grown up' colouring books, with sort of mosaic patterns. Nothing more relaxing.

    The joys of small children, constantly stripping beds.

    DD is fine thanks, she informed me it was just too much sugar as she'd eaten a doughnut before bed...

    What I forgot to mention, is that we'd got a new bunk bed for her room the day before, so the new mattress was nicely christened :cool:

    I have tried to potter/tidy the house, but still feel awful (though that is in part due to DD1's recorder practise :eek:), so am going to have a bath and hopefully sort myself out. It's annoying that there's so much to do but I don't have the energy to do it.

    All ok with the bank accounts, so that's a relief. It will be so good to be debt free and be able to siphon the repayments into savings. I'm determined to build up more of an emergency fund and a pot for holidays, house and car expenses.
