Thanks all
I actually fell asleep in youngest s bed with her last night Before 10pm! I only went to settle her and we both where still in her bed at 4am :rotfl:
Anyway it means I got up earlier than normal. I got the floors and things done and got the smalls up and ready. Appointment done, was stressful and I gave in to bribing her with sweets. So not a NSD
However we are home now and they are fed and playing nicely.
It's still so cold! but the sun is shining at least
Hope you all have a good day
