Thursday 31st December

It is the eve before New Year...actually it's not, it's 7.21 in the morning and I've been up since 4.30 watching rubbish on the tv.  I just couldn't get any more sleep out of the night so I'll probably get my head down this afternoon.

Went into the art shop yesterday and got CJ some more art stuff since he has taken to drawing and we sat yesterday afternoon creating works of art from a 'how to draw' book and our New Year's resolution is to keep practicing to achieve more of a Beatrix Potter bunny that the demon bunny I seem to be putting on the page at the moment

Also yesterday went into Asda and Peter James has been reduced to £1 so got three of his books that I haven't read. These will also be circulated to Princess so that's our reading taken care of for the start of the New Year.  Don't suppose I shall manage to stay awake for the clock to chime at that bewitching hour tonight but let's wait and see....now for a bath and to wake the rest of the household.   come on it's 7.30......
