Sooo it's 9am. We've been up since 5am. Managed to prolong the getting up as we've both got the starting of colds so my DD aged four had a bit of screen in bed. We've done some colouring in which lasted an whole ten minutes. She is now on the screen again and I KNOW I need to take her off it but I have zero energy to do anything! Lazymum!

Think we might go out for a coffee later and a wonder round a local park.

What's everybody else up to today?

As little as possible. I have made 60 videos for booktok (side hustle) and washed up .

im going to make ten more then see about getting dressed.

I always feel rubbish in half term - think it’s finally stopping after 8 weeks at work

Not much today. Send kids who find the holidays difficult and the weather is awful. We’ve done some potion making this morning and now I need to think of something to tempted them to engage with this afternoon.
