When things hit rock bottom the only answer is to fight the way back up...

I like leaves everywhere so that wouldn't bother me. I would disinfect it though as I've got a cat as well as a dog and the grandkids would play on it.

You reminded me I need to clean the front door.

Hope you get to bed before 11pm

Hi hidden,

The govt website says that a 15kg child can have a

Group 2 Rear- or forward-facing child car seat (high-backed booster seat or booster cushion) using a seat belt, harness or safety shield

So you would be fine with a high backed booster seat (or just a booster cushion) using a seat belt. As long as she is 15kg and the booster seat says 15kg.

Maybe you can borrow one of these? The group 1 would be a waste as she is just growing out of it (unless needed for medical reasons?)

2 more days! I think I owe out more than is coming in though :cool:

I am totally writing today off as a day to forget forever.

Its been an awful day from waking up at 4am :cool: YEP! 4am my delightful child decided it was time to start the day. I don't think I even got a full hour's sleep.

Then the HV this morning who is amazing .. need a thank you card.
Nursery :mad:
Appointment one.. an hour behind, a grumpy toddler, a rushed appointment leaving with more questions than answers.
Collect other two... a missing cardigan
Rushed back through to town for appointment 2 ... in hectic traffic, still a grumpy toddler, two arguing others, 40 min wait. More medication, more drugs with side effects = more sleepless nights.

I gave up and went to get the smalls food because by now its 6pm and all 3 kids are wanting food and the traffic at a standstill.

I actually feel like crying into this coffee but I fear they might lock me up if I did :rotfl:

I cannot wait to get home, write the day off. I still have baths to do, reading to do, uniform to wash and dry and iron before I can even think of feeding myself and crashing into bed!

Hiddenidenity

So no not a NSD.

£9.96 in the M fast food place, 3 smalls food, one large coffee.. Wish it was a large alcoholic drink.
£2.65 large coffee in the costalot coffee to take out

Leaves around 5p in the bank account But right now I don't really care as you can probably tell :rotfl:

I'll deal with it tomorrow, unless the slowcooker has burnt the house down as I expected to be home 2-3 hours ago.

System

I hope you and the little ones are now all home. I dislike the wind , wishing it to die down soon. Tomorrow is another day.

What a horrible day HI. Hope you manage to get some rest when you get home.
