Morning all

DD has been sick so we are up early. Too much chocolate pudding last night i think (and by the look of the sick, sorry TMI!) so we are sat downstairs watching cartoons and she doesn't seem too bad.

Plum i'm glad all went well

Ali Dh is away in a couple of weeks for 2 nights. He went away for 3 nights this time last year and it was actually better than i thought. I probably coped better without him here because i had to iyswim?

HMHB how was your night? How old is your DS?

Well, today i am supposed to be writing for a dressage competition but i don't know if i will be able to with DD being sicky. I don't have to start until 10am, so have got a while to see how DD is. I wouldn't normally do it if DD was ill, but they are literally desperate (their daughter was supposed to be doing most of the work but she is now 'in love' and the new BF is way more important. If i couldn't make it then she would have to do it though)

Have a good all

Should be 'Have a good day all'
