Afternoon ladies :)

Had a lovely day yesterday with my grandma and some of my cousins, and then a fairly disastrous night on the sleep front with DS2!
It is gorgeous here today, lots of washing has been dried and we've been to the park.

Happy EDD JKS

Freaky - I need days at home inbetween doing things, otherwise I feel all disorganised and unsettled [weirdo emoticon]

We need a new title. Something to do with the royal wedding? or Easter?

Today is going somewhat more smoothly :) I have decided though that I need to make dinner as soon as breakfast is cleared up - leaving it until 4pm doesn't work because DS2 is always cranky then and wants feeding loads.

Mini I got over 8 hours sleep last night, although it was in chunks not one hit. Feel better for it today though :)

That title works - I am useless at them too, especially atm because brain is only semi-operational.
