Skype on Sunday (and Saturday and...)

I'm having trouble with my blog...every post I wrote yesterday got deleted (eaten?) by the next post. So of the 4 (I think) I wrote and published yesterday, only one is there - the last one written. I've contacted Blogger Support, but I'm a bit wary of publishing till I know the problem is fixed.

Kinda lazy Sunday today...well, Skype-ing Sunday. Spoke with Uncle Matthew and Uncle Al on Skype. Not the clearest line with Al, but Lily loves to see people on the webcam which unfortunately makes the sound not so good. Later I rang Georgie (in Australia) and had a good catch-up. And even later in the afternoon Christine rang from Cambridge. They're also going away the same days as us (Tues-Sat) next week but they're off to Malaga.

The crazy thing is the orders are coming in...for next week. Thankfully I can fit them in around our trip (2 people were pretty flexible on when they wanted to pick up) and the third is for a b'day party next Sunday (she's yet to confirm her order). So tomorrow morning I have a muffin pick up (Blueberry Buttermilk and Little Pear and Cinammon Cakes) and in the afternoon I have cookies and brownies pick up. I'll do my cookie drop off to David on Tuesday morning, then we fly to Rome in the afternoon.

Tonight for dinner I made Roasted vegetable tart (Super Food Ideas, Sept 2005) which was very nice. In the afternoon the girls and I made bread rolls (with grains and seeds) from the kids baking book I got for Lily for Xmas which turned out pretty good. So we had those with dinner, plus a mixed salad with feta and olives. Nice dinner really...well, as good as we get at the moment. Looking forward to the day we can sit down and enjoy a proper meal, without a million requests for more drinks, different fork, wiping bottoms after ca-ca, removing toys from the table, asking kids if they are eating their meals etc etc etc.

On the Charlotte Sleep-o-Meter: She woke at 2.39am and I was up and down to her until 4am. When a dose of Medised* put a stop to the whole shenanigans. Unfortunately her nose is running at the moment and it really disrupts her sleep. Which was confirmed by how effective the Medised was. I was reluctant to give it to her only because there is a tiny bit left in the bottle and I wanted to save it. I won't be able to get anymore till we go to the UK at the end of March.

*Christine left us this bottle when they were here at Xmas. Seems really effective so I'm going to the pharmacy downstairs tomorrow and asking if they have anything similar.

**edited to add: when I published this post it deleted (ate) my one and only post from yesterday. Arrrggggggghhhhh. So I will not be posting again till this issue is fixed :(
