Quick - I've got a few minutes!

Edward is asleep, Sarah is asleep but has been sleeping since 10.15am and its now past 1pm, so she might wake at any time, Elizabeth is at nursery, nappies in washing machine, tumble drying drying, washing on airer, lunch things washed up, Sainsburys list made, have had shower, so... here goes:

Sarah has her first injections on Thursday last week, after having a couple of nights of waking and sleeping at the proper times, i.e. not waking at 10, sleeping until past midnight, then having another three ish hours, and waking just before 6am. Injections made it all go to pot though, and whether it was that and or the beginnings of a cold and or growth spurt, she's been feeding pretty much all weekend and was back to massive cluster feeding frenzies in the early hours. Last night, however, last night was a good night.

We went to a toddler group on Friday with all three of them, and that was good. Will try again.

Have almost completed the Christmas shopping, and we are now writing the cards. Still haven't ordered the christmas pudding ingredients etc. But things feel like they are more organised.

Thomas Beddoes Court opened its salesroom doors at the weekend. Husband found out prices, probably too much for us, but we bought a lottery ticket anyway. Friend might move there, so back of mind thinking could we have her house!??!

Sarah smiling and talking lots. Elizabeth as 'sensitive' as ever about e.g. the feel of her new Winter coat on her neck, how tight her slippers are, what clothes she wears - weather they 'match' etc. Lots of big arguments, including a huge almighty one yesterday fuelled by my lack of sleep when I tried to cut her hair. Think she looks a lot better now though!

Edward has been climbing spectacularly and is a hazard - coming through the hatch, smashing my 30th Birthday present Molton Brown candle that I have saved so carefully for nearly six years... He is so energetic it is untrue.

Back is still bad. Might bring forward chiropractor appointment.

Everyone still asleep? Might go and get a hot chocolate!!!
