    HHC took longer than planned, but bathroom list is done, products are being sorted and used slowly i have a huge stash that built up so im on a no more buying till its used (but it doesnt stop people buying it for me)
    ive polished the mirror and all pictures upstairs while id got the glass cleaning stuff it seemed silly not to blitz the landing framed stitches as well as the bathroom. mat changed nd bin emptied so looks good in there now.
    just time to grab a coffee and reflect some thoughts before work.
    need to sort out all the stuff im combining with drs run this afty (letters to post, vouchers for girl in chemist, recycling -if i dont write it down ill forget)

    Bossy I was keeping you company, but I didn't know that until I read your comment at 5.30 this morning. However, my all-nighter was voluntary and my days are my own so I didn't mind. I have/had an exceptionally repetitive job to do that involved 36 hours work and I'd programmed it in for this week. I spent quite a lot of time faffing about yesterday between flying episodes, so I thought I'd better do a couple of hours before I went to bed. As it doesn't involve any brainpower at all, I diddled around iPlayer until I found something interesting, and found another Scandi crim/thriller series I had never heard of. 5.30am this morning, I'd finished all the work and was so wired I couldn't sleep.

    The cat threw in the towel at 2.30am. Wimp.
    Better is good enough.

    Well... I am absolutely exhausted.

    Dot was up half the night again (she woke up at 1:30am and I think went back to sleep about 5am.. she is currently running riot and climbing on me!

    School run done.. Appointment with head at Moomin school about her residential.. her care plan is sorted and staff tutored in doing her injections. I spoke to them about her silliness of yesterday..

    Then on to high school re DS3.. halfway through said meeting DD3's tutor comes in and we discuss her for 2 minutes... then I went to reception and sorted an issue or 2 re. DD2... and then it is lunch time, I am absolutely exhausted and starving!

    rice krispies scoffed.. cuppa made.. then I need to play with laundry ..


    I am so incredibly tired

    I swear I have a Bermuda Triangle in my house, DS new glasses I got from Specsavers yesterday afternoon are missing.

    My room is tidy so they should be here. I have tried all the obvious places, and spent 2 hours tearing house apart before taking DS to nursery late

    DD3 had hump with me yesterday because I ran out of time to take her hairdressers and DD4 was super hungry and long overdue for a feed, and I suspect this is her way of payback.

    Currently one handed typing in Daisy mode with a :coffee:

    Any glasses finding vibes would be much appreciated (passport, welly, child health record, pot of gold finding vibes also gratefully accepted :p )
    The cold never bothered me anyway
