Both of mine actually slept last night [smug] They were both up a few times the night before though.

Today I discovered that if I actually get up at 7 instead of trying to shut out dc until half past quarter to eight a) I can get an awful lot more done in the mornings and b) it feels like lunchtime by a quarter to 10

Boilerman came to service it this morning at 8, bless him he was outside from 7.45 but didn't want to knock early in case we weren't up.

Going to take dd to meet her teacher at school in a bit-eek!

Did anyone notice I CLEANED MY WASHING MACHINE! before 8.30am all the seals(sp?) the powder drawer etc. Something is not right!

WOW am impressed, cleaned your washing machine.I don't think I have ever cleaned my seals, its the muck whats holding it together.

Well done alice but you are SUPPOSED TO BE RESTING
