    It's can be so hard when they don't sleep. I've currently got 8 year old DD wide awake in her bed. The light is off but she says she's just not tired. This happens most nights. She's got lavender oil, had a warm bath, wound down with a book but i've decided she just doesn't need sleep. Me on the other hand, I need loads of it! I hope your little one settles back to sleeping soon xxx

    Julie we did the same as pigpen with A when she was little, kept telling her we had to go to the toilet/nip to fetch a drink/check the door was locked etc and then keep an ear open. W used to ask for lunch as he went to bed!!! So we used to just say 'ok, I'll go and make it' :rofl: that boy will eat lunch morning noon and night if you believe him!

    Hey ho back to the factory tomorrow with one of the two new bosses (other is still on annual leave) will see how things have been this last couple of weeks, new year new targets :mad: but work is the least of my worries. So ling as A & W are happy and healthy that is all that matters.

    Will catch up but probably not post until the weekend. Take care all xx

    Thought with help of OH that making good progress this week until came to update the list and post - not good enough. Will update tomorrow when it might look more respectable.

    Need to get back into a work routine and also do some paid work tomorrow - worse than flying!

    You are all spurring me on though with your achievements - thank you.

    My DS starts school full time next Tuesday (has been ornings only this term) and I CANNOT WAIT :j
    So am hoping to get back to a bit of FLYing next week, finally.
    Baby Kerry is now almost 4 months old (can you believe it), beams at anyone who looks at her for more than a second, she is so used to getting no attention, poor thing. And DD1 will be at preschool 4 mornings a week. So I should have a bit more time and shall look les like a blue-!!!!!d fly than I do now.

    Night night and see you all next week :T
