    Frog munched and various grovelling phone calls made. Wireless mouse killed, murdered, destroyed, put to sleep, buried and replaced with wired mouse. Using the computer now doesn't drive me absolutely mad, as it has for the past two months.
    Better is good enough.

    Evening! Woot. Schools out here too :T DS sweater is nowhere to be seen. Some other kid probably been wearing his for the last 3 weeks, despite it being labelled. ditto his p.e. tshirt. Hopefully it will warm up and he'll have no need for sweaters for a while anyway. Less bothered about the tshirt.

    Kids bedding washed - will do mine tomorrow, forecast looks ok. Also uniform all washed. I want these done and away this weekend. I don't want to come back from hols to it with all our hol washing too.

    I let the littlies stay up a bit later, operation bodyclock, lol. By this time next week I want them sleeping in till 8am :D

    We watched frozen (again) I had to lol at DD singing, she has inherited my voice, bless her, but she spent the whole time acting out the Elsa part. I've said I'll get her a dress - having looked they seem mostly out of stock and the quality seems poor as Disney try to keep up with demand. So I'm thinking of making something. If I can find a similar shape I'm sure I can add a train... Famous last words!

    While I was cooking dinner I sorted two shelves and binned some stuff. Also sorted a mini first aid kit to take away with us. Emptied all school bags and hung them up out of the way, and folded the pushchair down. Don't expect we'll use it with no school run, but it is coming on hol with us.

    Realised we only have one set of arm bands. Vaguely remember giving a pair away as they were small and not really holding DD up. But they would have done for DS as he's *almost* swimming unaided. When he thinks no-one is watching, lol.

    So, tomorrow:
    Make some biscuits.
    Fit the Lino in the playhouse and make some paper bunting - instead of a "mind your head" sign :rotfl:
    Find the solar string lights.
    Tidy corner of garage, with charity shop bag, want to put case there so I can pack bit by bit.
    Write a list of last minute stuff we need.

    Don't think I'll be too late to bed tonight :yawn:

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    I have some links to some costumes on my pinterest free sewing patterns page. A lot are based on clothes your child already has.

    This is beautiful but a bit ambitious! But there's some easy (cheaper looking ones.
