Little man had a lie in today so what happened - we get a phone call at 7.20 from DFS to say our sofa was coming in half hr typical - all systems go as we still had the old chairs sitting there!
Rushed back from work tonight to prepare one of our 'table teas' in honour of hubbie's birthday. Had a debate with little man who loves these types of teas and who insisted the food stayed where it was for him to carry on with it in the morning. He did not agree with Mummy when it was suggested we put it away to keep it nice and to save it from the cats eating it while we were asleep, by bedtime I was winning but he was still trying to negotiate that the 'crispies' remained left out (this is indeed the only bit of the food he ate but as he had already had a tea at nursery I think we can overlook that). Was surprised he didn't ask for some of Daddy's Star Wars cake though.

What a waste!
Tuesday:
The others have all had a brillant night's sleep and still going now at 7.10am. I know this because I haven't - what a wasted opportunity! Sitting writing this while having a lemslip, just when I think its safe to pack them away, everything comes back again with a venegence! Still lovely day off today with the added bonus of not having to be anywhere. Little man had his flu jab yesterday, I'm told he could be abit feverish today, maybe thats why the powers that be have sent me back to square one as my punishment for inflicting that on him.
Wednesday:
Well I had to cut short yesterday's entry as Little Man was requesting juice & toast.
So here we are on weds (no ill effects from the swineflu jab) and I think I can finally say I'm beginning to feel much better, though the coughing is still dreadful and it still feels difficult to speak for long (hurrah I hear all cry!) not that it matters on a blog aha! Today has been blissful, though very tiring, Mr seems to have forgotten how to exist without me at home for even a second and by that I mean if I'm just in a different room (ie the bathroom) or simply doing chores for a minute instead of playing.
We went to the library bright and early and the shops, we were back home by 10.30 which is unheard of for us. Yesterday we made some jammy biscuits which were a huge success with all so today we thought we'd push our luck and make some cakes, a big sponge and some little fairy cakes. Not quite as good as the biscuits but I reckon our best tasting sponge to date, still got to work on that presentation though.

Good home needed...
for 2 cats with special needs, amongst many things they can provide you with the thrill of the following charms and talents...
1)nip & bite if you don't provide food exactly when they request
2)constant hassling if you don't provide correct type of food they require
3)use kitchen door way as big scratching post
4)leave cat sick on landing for you to narrowly miss stepping in on dark mornings
5)drink your drink by side of bed
6)bring gifts home - alive & dead, extra treats include half eaten pressies or very much live ones which then hide behind fridgefreezer so you can then destroy the flooring a little bit more when having to move ff for umpteenth time
7)bring the above gifts in the middle of the night
8)constantly jump up onto supposedly cat free zone furniture
9)constantly bag the best seats in the house
10) and if you are really lucky they will spray on the end of your child's bed right in front of your face!
now what are you waiting for???? please form an orderly queue now.....

Sunday Evening
Well, was looking forward to my usual evening bath, despite our bathroom being decorated at the mo, but this is what it currently looks like...
So have opted for the equally nice option of tea & chocs downstairs with a good book. Here are a few of my own all time favs...
Happy New Year..finally!
Well, haven't been able to get on here lately, this new year is kicking off how the old one finished - going by very quickly already! First week back into routine and we've had work, nursery, playgroup, playgroup duty, playgroup committee meeting, illness and of course the snow. We might go out today and build another snowman now little man is feeling better but really it has been soooo cold.
We've been having small flurries of snow everyday for so long now I've lost count but we've since had loads more again, think we had another 4 inches yesterday. The 2 mile walk to work is becoming a bit tiresome now, but we've been very busy, everyone stocking up on books I think. Tommorow have to go to work in the morning then have my lunch hour to get into Norwich by bus for 2pm for management course tutorial so that could be fun.
Have to go now as little man has come downstairs.....byeeee.....
