Oh lololol
I put her in a big grobag tonight, she is waking early, and I think it might be the cold. She's got up and waddled (like maggie in the Simpsons haha) to the door, but on opening the door, the bottom of the grobag has got caught under the door so she was stuck hahaBossymoo

Cy re the extra papers the exam boards are pretty good at getting the amount of space right for the amount they require to be written in average size writing. Extra paper can mean big handwriting, long plan written in the first answer booklet, incorrect answer written and starting again or simply repeating the answers or waffling too much.
Kids all driving me senseless with attitude tonight, wonder if they are all just having bad days or if AF is going to visit real soon.

After completing Monday-Wednesday lists, I think I ran out of steam yesterday and didn't do much at all. Today I'll probably be the same, as I hate cleaning the bathroom. I'm probably going to dye my hair tomorrow so may just leave the bathroom til then.
I was actually planning on baking a cake today though so that's good!
Thankyou for the lists dusty and julie, they're such a motivation to me, i wouldn't get half the cleaning and sorting i get done without the lists to push me to do something :T0 -
I am so tired I could die... guess who is off for a snooze this morning.. Dot was up I had to moan at the girls and I was rather unsettled..
I hate nights like that.
I need to make some visible progress with the bedroom and get that habitable and windowable!
