For some reason I decided it was a good idea to drive to work at 7:30 this morning :eek: Took me an hour for 8 miles
Spoke to my client on the phone, and then I've brouight my work home :T DD's college is closing, so she'll be getting a train to the next town (don;t stop at our village again until 6pm
) so I'm hoping DH will offer to collect her 
Going to have coffee and then aim for a couple of those stars :j

Having a bad day already
Baby was up all night so I ended up sleeping on the sofa in an awkward position, and then we all woke up late and I've got a raging sore throat. So it was a rush to get everyone ready before school. Practically skated there as all the snow has compacted. DS fell over a couple of times and I'm glad I had the pram to hold onto. Popped to Mr T before coming home, got an ice cream type headache as it's sooo cold, then DS2 screamed for half an hour again before falling asleep on my lap. I feel awful, AF is being a cow and I've run out of coffee. I'm in serious danger of not moving all day unless I get off my bum soon...
Better go and find my list...So, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,
They call me Mummy
