Managed a better night sleep only up once around 1.30am
Alarm at 6.50 woke me.
Still incredibly tired. Have doctors appointment on 10th April.
Twin1, dgds Mum has announced that she is pregnant again.
So two new grandchildren this year then.
I have had a morning of fittings and then one blind being done, stopped to eat, then just need to restring and hopefully I will get on to the second one today. Although I have fittings etc later and again tonight at 7pm

I finished the first blind. Started the second but didn't have time to finish it. It will have to wait until Thursday now.
Dgd has gone out to play. She just phoned to say she's going to watch her friend do gymnastics. So I will be going out to do the fittings when she is out. Dinner will be late tonight then. Good job the nursery gave me some French stick today. Bread and marmite then.

Morning. I went to bed at 9pm!
Woke at 10.30pm did 30 minutes of my Portuguese lessons that I had forgotten to do and went back to sleep. Woke again at 12.30, and after going to the loo, I had a good few hours sleep although I woke a few times I did manage to get back to sleep after a few pillow thumps and sleep mist squirts! Weird dreams though. The teasmade did its job and woke me a few minutes ago.
Wednesday means Mums day. However we are joining Biggest and the lad and going to MK to do some clothes shopping for her ever expanding waistlines. We need something to wear for the christenings on the weekend next week while we are away. Dgds dress arrived in the post yesterday. The same type of dress as she wore as a bridesmaid except she chose a different colour sash. I bought the age 14 And it fits. I was expecting to have to adjust it. My 10 year old is becoming a giant!
I need to try and get her a white cardigan. Bet that won't be easy.

could you look online first at say george at asda and tesco etc, its easier than going to all the different shops, if you can spot one then go and try it on

A cardi to match the sash maybe?

We didn't manage to get the cardi. We did get her some navy dolly shoes though.
We lost time because I had to take Dgd to the Doctors first. Her ears are now fine but she has a callous on her foot so we were waiting for nearly an hour at the doctor before I took her back to school.
Then we went in Biggests car, and mooched around, Poundland, to maxx etc. We had lunch and then went to M& S as Mum and biggest both wanted bras. By then it was a mad dash to get back before Dgd came out of school.
I did seea white cardigan on Asda's Website so I will probably order that today.
When I got home I was so tired that I went to bed for an hour and a half while Dgd watched Paddington two on video. Then I had a long soak in the bath. Then I did tea. She had noodles as she'd already been snacking on left overs. I had a salad.
After tea I made two more hedgehog coin purses as the first one was off to One of you lovely people, and then someone came in the shop asking for one, so I managed to get two out of the remnant of fabric that I had.
So I can call the lady and let her know and also putone in the basket in the shop.
Then I decided to sort the avalanche of books and paperwork beside my chair while watching DIY sos,. BF arrived part way through. Then after it was finished I watched a programme I had recorded about dodgy convictions in the past, can't remember it's name. At 10 ish we came up to bed, Bf was still glued to his iPad so I didn't mind doing 30 minutes on my kindle doing my Portuguese. It is so difficult. I don't feel like I am making much progress!
I am still struggling to sleep longer than two hours without waking. So I feel shattered in the morning.
No exception today.
Time to launch myself in to the kitchen to make dgds packed lunch. That's going to be cobbled together as I didn't do a Food Shop yesterday.
We have breakfast club at 8am
Last day of School this half of term.
Tomorrow I think I will have to go to work to Sew or the Seamstress is going to be overwhelmed next week.

You have been a very busy bee :@)

The blind was finished. Then I had a selection of zips to insert in coats and jeans etc. The woman came for her blinds but I am afraid I lost my rag when she wouldn't pay for them, well the £65 she still owed. I didn't want to let them go until she paid, she won't pay until they are hung. Which is not part of my remit. I told her that she should have paid in the first place, cash on collection, but then she insinuated that I didn't trust her, and too be honest after all her nit picking and trying not to pay me, of course I don't. After trying to explain that it wasn't about that but about anyone taking goods they owed money for out of the shop, I practically threw them at her. She was the most awful woman I have ever met. It's rare for me to loose my temper but I am not proud to say today I did.
You just know she will never pay. She tried to tell me her fabric was £40 a metre. It's £18.00 on Laura Ashley Website, and they would charge her £191.00 for making it. Mind you they probably wouldn't be prepared to unpick her curtains and making a blind out of them for her anyway.
Do I sound bitter? Erm yep I am.

This evening I have cut out coin purses, and sewn 6 more.
Now I am off to bed as I am back in tomorrow.
I will be in a better frame of mind tomorrow I hope.
