The Sandhouse

Today has been quiet and lovely. The weather is very warm but with next to no breeze. I thought I would put on a picture of "The Sandhouse", as thats where Brooke and Bailey have spent most of today, they love it in there and I dont have to worry about them being in the sun all day.

Brooke did a poo on the potty today. I wasnt going to potty train her yet but she keeps taking off her nappy and she knows what a potty is so I got it out and kept telling her to go on it...voila! a result (wont mention the 3 she did on the floor lol!)

The boys are still at their dad's until 4.30 this afternoon so it is still fairly quiet here. I have managed to do three washes (one of towels) and get it all dry, Ive made cherry cakes, a large chilli and homemade mushroom soup for our lunches for the next couple of days. I also cleared out the food cupboard in order to save some money on this weeks food shop by using what we already have *she hopes*.

The credit card has taken a bit of a hammering in the last month so I really want to make a dent in repaying it in the next month or two. Have some ironing to do today (yuk) mainly Tyler's and Bailey's school uniform.

There hasnt been a lot of HE this weekend, I must do some more OU study myself this evening and I have been reading the new Mark Billingham which is really good so far. I think my early night did me good as I feel better today and less tired. I shall study for about an hour tonight, tomorrow and Tuesday and have Weds night off. I have a tutorial Thursday evening.
