Hello

HUGE congrats to CWWM

I did six loads of washing on saturday and got it all dried and put away so have no washing to do today!

I am so so tired today ds hasn't slept for about 3 nights now

All up & dressed - DONE
Breakfast - DONE
Go to supermarket and chemist - DONE
Lunch - DONE
MN- DOING
Try to stay awake while dc are in paddling pool so they don't drown - TRYING
Dinner-

And that is it for me today, even keeping my eyes open is hard work!

Well, alarm sorted, lesson learnt - turns out the cat-proofness of the sensors only works if they don't jump, so must remember to leave all the stairgates open so they don't jump over them and set things off.

Really should be doing something useful...
