Woke up at 5.40, but also 11.30, 1, 2, 3.15, 4, .... and some of us then go and work, instead of sitting around enjoying the luxurious, pampered life of the SAHM
as Aless will soon discover 

Ah, sorry, I thought you meant he woke for the FIRST time at 5:40! You have my sympathies, then.

Don't know if this is any use but I used to stick small coloured stickers on my books for what days of the week I needed them at school. So if it was Monday, I just needed to go through my books and take all the ones with a red sticker on them. It required less brain power and was much more reliable.He's also disorganised, forgets things and loses things.

I'm hoping to get one from the in-laws (although they are muttering about a wireless printer instead so I probably won't).
I am on my second piece of work of the day and it's not even 9am and I am on holiday......marvellous! Still at least I have the advantage that dropping off said work means a sneaky gingerbread latte so not all is lost.:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

GISI you are MAD! Tell them you will buy your own latte and not do any work on your holiday! Are you still going to your mums today?
Anyway, best log off mse and log onto my phone - need to start work in 3 mins.

SM, your boss sounds exactly like mine! Won't go off on a huge ranty tangent, but you certainly have my every sympathy.
SS, you're not a failure at babymaking! I think Krystal may have got a Kindle for her birthday.
