    Natty - hope you heal fast and with as little pain as possible.

    DD was ready for school by 7.30am! I don't know whats got into her, but this week she's actually shifting herself of a morning. Makes a pleasant change not to have to nag her. :)

    Well I am knackered and feel like crap.. I feel sick and not sure if it is unwell sick, hungry, tired or just plain old lugging another person about.. which would be a new one on me.

    Beasts all at school.

    I need to speak to Moomins teacher about her homework.. they have to write the approximate percentage of the moon which is visible each night for a week... they go to bed about 7:30-8ish and it get dark about 11pm ... Surely this would make more sense in the winter?

    Tesco coming 11-12 and cooker chap coming 11-1... what are the odds of them both turning up at 12? Or the cooker guy turning up as the Tesco guy leaves so I have no kitchen floor for the shopping!!

    Little 2 fed.. need to get them dressed.

    Then I shall find that hideous list

    Morning all, I took the extra hour in bed this morning and feel great for it. Front hall/computer room looks great this morning so i'll crack on with the livingroom today. I have a feeling the black bins will be full by Friday and I may need to do a few tip runs. :D

    Right best shift....
