Gah! I'm really wanting to get back into this, it was working a treat and I was enjoying doing it too. But, today seems to be a total write-off . DD is poorly and very demanding and DS is refusing to sleep. If I had a grain of motivation I might actually get a tiny bit done, but I just haven't. Haven't even had time to read up what you've all been up to since Thursday

To top things off DP is working late and it's pouring with rain.

I come and go a bit with how well I do, sometimes I have a run of a few days where I don't even post a list.

Seem to have ground to a halt after an industrious morning...

Have just spent a small fortune bought some natural bath and hair stuff for the dc from here. DD keeps asking for bubbles but reacts to normal stuff so hopefully this will be ok, will be from santa at those prices (esp as I couldn't decide on flavour so got them 2 each, and a shampoo for me and one or them )

Just a quick post, will do a proper update once I am settled for the night.

Having a poo day though
