    Better nights sleep thanks to a sleeping tablet :cool: hate having to take them but seem to have no choice at the moment.

    It is DD1's 16th birthday today :) so both DDs managed to get up early to do presents etc, strange that :cool:

    Living room looking a bit of a bomb site again thanks to DD2 leaving her stuff everywhere!
    DD1 and I are far from pleased with her at the moment as she hasn't done any tidying in the bedroom so DD1's friend has nowhere to sleep tonight! :mad:
    I'm not backing down, I'm not going to do it! And if she thinks she'll be getting full pocket money she's got another thing coming!! :mad:

    I'm going to finish my coffee, get dressed and start on this list I've jusy made up :o

    Strip beds
    Put WM on
    Unload DW
    Reload DW
    Gather up DDs carp and dump in their room
    Tidy round Living room
    Dust :eek:
    Hoover Living room & hall


    I'll be back after that :D

    It was a lovely day weather wise.

    I was really glad i went - I got to meet a couple of family members I haven't met before. but it was 2 hours there by train.... and 2.5 hours return (2 changes and 25 mins freezing on Doncaster station) and i am decidedly cream crackered today!
