up every couple of hours. too tired to think of posts. too tired to think. fucking autocorrect has vanished from my playbook. off out with mum today to buy cot sheets and stuff, lea ving at nine so dp can have a rest day. at least she'll buy me lunch! can someone remind me how to measure up for a bra please?
Sophia, ignore him when he's showing undesirable behaviour. "when you're ready to speak nicely, we can talk" in a flat voice. if he's about to hurt himself or someone else, remove either him or the object. if he does the full on hammering the floor with his fists, laugh. "ds1 you look so silly! now come and do x like the sensible boy you are"
