Plans are coming along there Cag.
Life that’s tricky. I quite like 1 - not the finish obvs but the rooms look a good size. I wish they’d done a floor plan though as that would make it easier to compare to the others but I think the layout is sensible? 2 is decent but I guess it’s hard to compare value for money to 1 as they are in such different conditions. 3 is tricky - no one really chooses those boxes on looks but the space is usually better for the budget so it can be a practical ‘head’ choice, though not ‘heart’. However, that one has an annoying layout downstairs - I’d be quite irritated having to go all the way round a square to get from the sitting room to the dining room. And I’m shallow so I do prefer a bit of curb appeal. Ooh, I do love House porn. Keep it coming.
Snuggly my dd has been sleeping okay even though her room is really warm. I think her crap daytime naps help 🙄 as well as the fact that we’ve not tried to black the room out so she’s got used to sleeping in the light and noise , day and night. We had the flapping blackout problem with DS last year so decided to try without it this summer. DD’s okay with it at the moment but that will probably change as she grows. I quite often put her to bed with wet hair too - kind of like Quite’s spritzing but extreme 
. DS just messes around at night much more in summer because of the light evenings but last year he used to mess around with his blackout blind anyway so we’re no worse off there, it’s still basically crap. Grr. It is painful. I don’t appreciate being woken up at 5.15am either.
DS is being quite hard work at the moment in general, lots of anxiety which manifests itself as a very low threshold for screeching and meltdowns. I think he’s upset by changes afoot at school - the normal routine is breaking down with end of year activities like sports day and there’s a lot of talk about going up to Year 1. He loves his teacher and has become very clingy towards her since he’s realised he’s going to have someone different next year. He’s also been waking up in the night with bad dreams, and being highly anxious. 
for him but also very hard work for the rest of us! 😬
Garden picnic thing was really nice today, though it made me sad to hear a couple of school mums reminisce about all the parties they’ve taken their kids to this year. DS Just doesn’t get invited to them, this was the first we’ve been to and probably only because I’m friendly with the mum. Watching him with the other kids (or not, as the case may be) also very starkly highlights the difference between my lovely boy and his peers. So I’m feeling a bit tonight.
Still, DH bought a newspaper today but NSD for me, yay. Made a lemon drizzle cake for an ASD charity bake sale tomorrow, will make cheese scones in the morning so they’re still warm when I take them over.
