Manners, crafts and eye tests

Common manners would dictate that surely if you are messaging someone that you would reply, especially when you had been on within the last 5 minutes? no? Trying to sort out collection for this tent is driving me potty! yes they got in touch asking when would be good, so i said any evening and what days i am in. And nothing again for a whole 24 hours. I think it is pretty rude!!  breath.. breath I'm sure i'll hear something soon! I did send another message today saying what times would be good in case they didn't get the message clear enough!!  Can you tell i'm annoyed?!

Yesterday I didn't get chance to write my blog as it took about 3 hours to get little man settled in his bed, to be fair, I had already put him down, and when hubby went up I asked him to run me a bath and id chance it incase he woke up... dear lord!! he woke up kicking and screaming and ended up in the bath with me, then tried to put him back to bed which took two hours ugh! I was so tired and rather fed up. No I don't like the cry it out method and can't really do that as I can't just dump him in the cot, there is no side on his cot so he can get out and personally i think leaving your child to scream in distress is rather cruel! nothing wrong with a cuddle you are not going to spoil them. My daughter although by his age was in her own room albeit in her cot, was not left to cry it out. She was read stories etc and so I try this with the little monster who just wasn't in the mood.  So I thought today was going to be awful when really both children have been behaved, played nicely gone down for naps, ( little man not daughter) and watched dvd's with barely any words. Very odd!


Yesterday they weren't their best, just screaming, tantrums and the rest. Yet when out in town they were well behaved. Daughter went for her eye test and turns out she is slightly long sighted. I hadn't noticed !! feel slightly guilty, i only noticed in the test as she was squinting. So today when watching and curious what she could read i could see she was squinting too. Funny though how shes done so well with her reading this year? Wondering if she has just "stressed" out her eyes a little with all the reading? not sure tbh. Been told to go back in 6 months, no glasses for now and we'll see how she goes. Yet with practically everyone in the family needed glasses( apart from me, touch wood) its not a surprise if one of them needs glasses. Though i felt so.. silly, i didn't even know what my hubbies eye sight was. Stupid memory! Shall see how we go!!

Tomorrow its a drink with the girls! that being a coffee in Leigh with my mother in law and friends and I can't wait, it will be nice to see them and have a chat, hope kiddies behave.. ( I do mean mine!) got a crafting session in the afternoon, some magnet making which sounds a bit interesting! and really hoping that little man doesn't scream all the way though this like he did the bingo.. really wish he wasn't so vocal in the screaming. Yes i know its the way toddlers communicate but not really a great thing when i'm in the middle of people!

Got a few things to get as well for holiday which has definately been confirmed with the holiday sight soo wooo!!! can't wait :)
