    Morning all

    DS2 on ARD today so not in until this afternoon. I said I'll drive him there and back rather than he take the bus but he has to come to JL and Waitrose this morning so I can use his discount card.

    DW and mog feeding first.

  • Good morning :D

    Bins emptied, DW emptied, dog fed, kids off to school.

    I think we may do some painting today, if the girls want to. Maybe the easel can go in the kitchen, so save my floors :)

    DH home today, so he is picking up the kids from school, and will take the dog out. We may have a little trip out to Pets at home as we need a sack of dog food (I can't carry it)

    Ok - girlies are here, must go :)

    I've lost my temper with the kids. They were fighting in the LR which looked like a bomb had hit it. I told them to pack it in and tidy up or there would be no dinner. 10 minutes later only DS3 (8) is valiantly tidying up. DD2, DS2 were sat on the sofa watching TV. They have both been sent to bed without dinner. DD2 howled. DS2 looked shellshocked when he realised it wasn't an idle threat. DS1 is not being fed until he replaces the box of maltesers he consumed. I feel a tad guilty but I am so fed up of being the only person to put anything away.

    I need a cup of tea. DH left his phone at home and has been uncontactable all day. He left at 6.10 this morning and is still not home.

    I'm really fed up. Fish pie anyone? I have loads left over?

    You have my deepest sympathies - I'd offer to swap my DS but you'd be no better off! Hope you are feeling better today!

    I went to bed at 10.15 - I woke up at about 11 when DS came in! Grrr - and I didn't really sleep properly after that!:mad::mad:

    I have plans to go with DD1 to see Argo today - here's hoping I don't fall asleep in the cinema...

    My sleep is not good at the moment - between DH snoring and random bouts of being awake at 3am (? menopause - no Aunt Flo since early September!) I am not doing very well. But when I do manage to sleep I seem to have more energy - I wonder if the lack of iron loss is contributing?
