    I am still plagued by hounds today too.. I was in bed 8 hours and awake for 3 of them.. OH is once again still snoring, as is Squeak and I am down here with this dreadful baby.. At least by a year old DD1 slept all night even if she was a witchy pants during the day. This one just wants to blow raspberries and bite me. Full on whinge mode today.. and I have to be up the next 4 days for school so my next chance of a catch up is Saturday..

    Ok.. Squeak has woken up.. I'll go sort breakfast andthem the vacuum cleaner is coming out *evil grin* .. OH WILL get up!

    Facing a bit of a mammoth task this week as the house is a STATE :eek: - but I'm back in with a bang and trying to declutter as much as possible before work starts again. I also have looooads of washing, ironing and putting away to do in preparation for the work routine - better crack on!

    Morning all

    Hugs for all with BDs or family issues. I'm dreading the Christmas arguments already. We were even talking away going away for Christmas last night but it is not possible this year and I don't want to anyhow.

    Rowan Tree hope you are ok today

    Mumto5 good luck with your job hunt

    Off to Blackpool today for 2 nights hence 3 days lists for you lot! Be good while I'm gone, I may spy on you all from my phone!

    Morning all

    coffee swigged

    was woken 'at the crack of dawn' by voices outside - rather disgusted that they could make such a racket - then I looked at the clock

    just gone 9! :eek:

    I FINALLY have lie in mode (I have been waking at 6:30 for 5 weeks) - of course - it's back to 6:30 next week :rotfl:

    anyway

    DW emptied
    WM on line

    candy crushed ;)

    I shall go and shower now

    Piggers - time to suggest so lie in turn-taking?
