This one's a battery. I've got high ceilings, I can get at the one at the bottom of the stairs fine because of how the ceiling's done but best I can do with the upstairs one is poking the button with a kitchen brush. I now have one permanently propped up around my bedroom door lol.
 
We've had a real challenging week with the toddler and to top it all I caught her cold. I was in bed last night feeling freezing at 8:30! Today my nose is so sore and I know it's a matter of hours before the coldsores start. I felt sad that this will be part of the reason she's been so challenging this week and then felt awful that I was so hard on her (though understandably when you have had a tough week you won't necessarily react well to a potty of wee being launched across the living room).
Ready for another drink tonight and an early night again. Hopefully it's shifted before my exam on Wednesday

I remember those days. My kids are now 23 and 21. I was breast feeding my new baby when my older one wanted to start potty training. I didn’t want to start then but she had other ideas. I was sitting feeding my new son and she had a wee in the potty and stood up, picked it up and was so proud of herself. I was just thinking don’t you dare drop the potty. Lol. It does get easier. I promise.
 
Oh and cold sores. Nightmare.

Too much sun = cold sore
Too much cold = cold sore
Stress = cold sore
Monthly’s = cold sore
Run down = cold sore

They are sooooo painful. Makes it hard to eat.

😫
 
Apparently we got caught up in a bomb alert in Belfast when I was potty training and we ended up staying with my great aunt and uncle for a few hours so I didn't pee all over the car. I hope you're feeling better before Wednesday @Lady Kelly

Oh this was a meltdown, she just grabbed and threw. Revisiting a sticker chart/bribery idea now that she's got a bit complacent with it

Oh no, I get them at the slightest hint of everything too! Luckily though it's my nose rather than mouth so at least eating isn't an issue. One nostril is very swollen already so I know it's on its way already

At the first hint of a cold sore dab it with a bit of vinegar. Just the smallest bit on the end of your finger will do and dab it on your cold sore. It doesn't sting that much. The vinegar dries up the cold sore and kills off the bugs before its got a proper hold.

Well I rubbed a good bit of vinegar around tonight. Needless to say I am wide awake now thanks to the stinging 😂 even if it does nothing else for me, at least I can guarantee waking up with a hankering for a chippy tea 🤣

Oh that sounds miserable, I personally challenge anyone to take kindly to a potty of wee being launched across the room though! Fingers crossed that your colds shift quickly 🤞

I think Paw Paw ointment helps with cold sores as it is great for moisturizing lips, thus preventing and sometimes even curing cold sores.
 
I am incredibly annoyed with myself and forgot to put the washing machine on this morning. Now if it was my stuff fair enough but it's the goblins stuff instead, specifically their beds I use for the Snugglesafes. And it's too late to put it on now because even if I did, they won't be dry in time for this evening. Sigh. I'll need to find a workaround for tonight again.
 
oh lord. I've been working on keeping the goblin room at around 20c. Opening blinds, closing blinds, occasionally turning the heating on for half an hour. It's been sort of working. And then I just went in on my way to the toilet and the room thermometer (it's on their floor) is telling me it's 25.7c in their room. 😱
 
I've closed their blinds and the thermometer was showing a temp drop of like, .3, every couple of minutes. I also was mean and turfed Camowen out of bed because I wanted to finally see them out and about. I feel odd if I don't get to observe that at least once a day. I was gonna turf Bann out too...and then Camowen ran into Bann's bed (and was immediately kicked back out, lol) and I left them trying to find the pellets in the hay pile.
 
I’ve lost two snuggle safes 🤷🏻‍♀️. No idea where they could be. I’m sure I used them in the hot weather as cold pads. 😡
 
34 years old and apparently I've forgotten how to shave properly. And the hair's still growing in more on one side of my face than the other, lol. How does that even work?!
 
It's a good thing I'm not metered for my water, because I need to get maintenance out for the toilet lol. Sigh.

It still works, I think a washer's gone somewhere in the cistern. It's got that "repeated drip into bowl" problem going on except it's a wee bit more than a drip lol. I'd kind of ignored it when it was just a drip because if I was imagining it I wouldn't have to deal with the letting agents, right? Thankfully it's the housing association sending someone round.

I really hope it's just a washer, anyway.
 
I'm cranky. I've no reason to be cranky, nothing's wrong, the goblins are behaving themselves. And I'm cranky.
 
No...that was most of yesterday lol, but I've fed myself (well, tortilla chips are food right?) and had my caffeine. I think I might sort my braids by colour. Not that I'd be doing anything but I'd be doing something at least.
 
It’s ok to be cranky …..
Good idea to sort your braids and you’ll be pleased when it’s done 😂
