    It was not to be. Dgs2 woke at 12.45 think he had a bad dream.
    On the plus it was 6,45 when they launched into full mode.
    alas all good things are short lived. We are having one of those mornings with nuclear fall out over the slightest thing.'
    I have removed myself from the firing line.
    The door, wall and toys have not faired quite so well.
     I have a headache and my hand is swollen because it was the first target when Dgs1 didn't get his own way.
    He is not going to get it so it's going to be a long day.

    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Stay strong Savvy - if you give in now, you might as well have said 'yes' at the start!
    It's not difficult!
    'Wander' - to walk or move in a leisurely manner.
    'Wonder' - to feel curious.

    Nobody should carry on doing something that isn't right just because they don't want to be seen to 'give in' or to not be strong, or they don't want to admit they got it wrong earlier on. 

    Everybody is allowed to change their mind, or to decide that what they thought was best might actually not be. 

    Nobody should be made to feel bad for that.

    We ended up staying for tea.
    just home about 40 minutes.
    one child in bed, fingers crossed that he will sleep now as he didn't sleep during the day. Then hopefully I can get his brother to sleep without any more drama for the day. 
    Definitely the right decision to get up and go somewhere. 

    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
