    Taken the cash out for taxi's and sweets yesterday and today.
    We've been to out of hours. Will call the respiratory team first thing in the morning.

    Totally happy with the Birthday plans now. Keeping the cake's simple and using some mini figures they have to 'stick' on top.

    Nothing much else happening, older two ready for bed and youngest has her duvet and pillow on the sofa

    Hope you've all had a lovely Sunday

    Totally agree with beanielou, a bed of your own is definitely a necessity...
    Please, sort a bed for yourself when you can

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Cuddling up to Mum on the sofa is the perfect tonic.:) I hope you both manage to get some sleep tonight. Will you ask your neighbour to drop them at school tomorrow so you don't have to take her out in this weather?

    I've done a lego and my little pony cake and stuck figures on them. They looked really good actually. xx

    WB hope little one doesn't get worse and you have a good night. Am sure you will sort bed eventually but Emmaus have good second hand things in . Unless of course you are going for new . I recently got some drawers from there , they were a bargain.

    Thank you all

    Cumbria is Emmaus the old barracks? I didn't realise they did beds, I've had furniture from there when we first moved. I will have a look thank you

    Hi Wannabe,


    I'm sorry to hear about Smallest Small. I hope she gets better soon.


    I agree that a bed is a necessity. If you aren't well-rested, how can you look after the others properly?


    I don't blame you about not going to today's party. Silver linings and all that! ;)


    I hope things are thawing out near you. x
