swanriver · 15/05/2009 11:49

Hope playdate is going well, sometimes it can take a while for them to settle down together - honestly I used to have to steel myself to invite people over...a bit sad really.

I suppose that was one advantage to there being NO cereal this morning..

feeling more and more ill, think I'm going to lie down with a hotwater bottle and read my book STRAIGHTAWAY after doing laundry putaway.

galen · 15/05/2009 11:52

Late start here - it really feels like a friday - been a long week. Off for a picnic at the farm with all my old wok friends and their children tomorrow, but weather not looking great.

Did it again! Fell asleep on sofa woke at midnight and then put out my hotspots and was wide awake. Went to be at 3.45am - and tossed and turned. Not good, really not good.

Some sort of basic routine done. very minimal.
Had an art session with the children and now need to get them a little lunch before leaving for ds' gym class.
I could do with an hour or so alone to feel on top of the basics again though.

Hope you're all okay - sorry I haven't had time to read much yet!

MaggieTulliver · 15/05/2009 12:45

Hello all.

Morning routine done.
