Where do the weekends go?
And there goes another weekend - and another long to-do list made shorter left pretty much the same.
Yesterday morning went by in a blur of swimming lessons for Barney, George and Freddy, followed by trampoline for George while the rest of us went to the bank to deposit their pocket-money (and their Christmas money, which, because I’d forgotten to bring it, I had to replace from my own account) and did a few other errands. Bought a new set of bathroom scales because a) the old ones weren’t working and b) they were ?3 - though got home to discover that the old ones were actually not as far out as I’d thought, and that Toby really is very lightweight. Hm.
In the afternoon, I tried to get stuck into an article I’ve agreed to write, but didn’t really get very far. I’m supposed to have about 1500 words; so far I’ve got a third of that, and to be honest what I’ve got isn’t very impressive. Moved car-seats about so that Toby is now in the big seat (still rear-facing, but maybe the big seat will be more comfortable, or lift him higher so he can see out, or do something that makes him happier in the car - I hope!) but not much else that I can remember.
Didn’t manage to get a lot done today either - Scratchy did a water-change on the aquarium and I vacuumed all of downstairs and mopped the kitchen floor, but apart from that I seem to have mostly messed about on the computer (there’s not much else I can do while feeding Toby, and he had one of those days when he just nursed constantly). Barney decided to carry Toby in the Storchie, and while it’s a bit big, it certainly works - I took a photo but I can’t be bothered to go back downstairs to get the camera, so can’t blog it just now. Kids watched a DVD after dinner, then went to bed complaining that they weren’t tired, though within about ten minutes all was silent 
Got a friend coming tomorrow (postponed from Friday), so really need to get up and moving tomorrow morning!
