    They're good! Still not coming to sit with us/on us but getting better every day :)

    Just had a lovely long shower, and think me and DH are going to watch a film tonight and have a chill :)

    Having a look online at decorating inspiration - I'm hoping to get the living room done over half term :) just decisions to make!

    I've also had a quite browse on rightmove - there's a house about an hour away from us that if decorated properly, would be such an amazing amazing house. Only need a spare £650,000 to buy it... :o:D Ah, one can dream....

    Mmm, pancake day :drool:

    I have had:
    - one with a drizzle of golden syrup
    - one with a mini snickers bar melted on top
    - one with peanut butter, sliced banana and honey

    Nom nom nom. I'm off to yoga in a bit, that'll burn all that off, right? :D

    One more day til half term! I can't wait to be honest, it's been a long and difficult start to the job. Got about 400 books to mark over half term too - fun!

    DH cooked us dinner today - it was his idea....! He did mussels in broth to start, followed by steak - it was good :D the kittens have been amusing us all evening too, so I feel good today :)

    Another NSD too, which always helps. I'm going to have a look at the budget over the weekend and re-assess a couple of things....

    It's half term - yay :j :j

    I need to catch up with sleep over the next week as next half term is going to be really hectic.

    I'm off to a baby shower later, so I popped to a$da after work and got some things - they're so cute, I wish it was for us :o I could have spent ages looking at all the clothes! They're all so small! As if we all start out that tiny.

    Nothing much else to report. I've bought a ticket for the euromillions tonight - don't normally - so keep your fingers crossed ;)

    Didn't win the lotto - never mind ;)

    I've just OP £100 so keeping plodding along with that :) me and DH are going to look at some furniture this afternoon, hoping to get a chest of drawers if we can find one where the price is okay :) also going to get food for the week, so need to write a shopping list in a bit.

    I'm going to try and have a tidy later and general clean - I find it hard to keep on top of it sometimes when we're both working full time. I need to try and work out a little balance in that area.

    Ho hum, nothing else to say.
