Day 327

Well, that didn't go according to plan. Penny slept well, until about 3am. Then, between the 3 of us we were dozing whenever we could. Bastard teeth.

Still, we were up bright and early and ready to face the day, and after a hearty breakfast we were on our way to Ikea. Suicide, really, on a Saturday. We got there (eventually. I'm rubbish at following directions, even to places I've been several times) and drove straight through the car park as there was absolutely nowhere to park. Amazing.

We went to Next over the road to see if we could find a new lamp for the living room (we couldn't) and then chanced Ikea again. Result. A space. We headed inside and took a seat in the canteen bit while Melissa fed Penny.

We were bustled round Ikea faster than I've been and for once I was glad we were going with the flow. We bought, in the end, pasta bowls, a dust pan and brush (because out current one is dirty, apparently) and a curtain rail for my 'office'.

Then we headed home, via the in laws to fix Melissa's dads laptop (again).

Home then, to feed Penny. Unfortunately she went fucking ballistic and screamed the house down. We put it down to two things : Tiredness. She's been awake almost all day, and most of last night. Teething. We slavered her gums with Dentinox and she shut up and had a lovely little nap. While all this went on I made tea.

Toad in the hole, chips, peas and gravy.


Now, you can't really make out the toad in the hole batter, because when I came to dish mine up it had stuck to the bowl and wouldn't budge. Still, it was delicious if I do say so myself.

This evening, pending a good kip from Penny, Melissa and I will be watching a film. Strictly Ballroom, since you ask. And yes, it was my choice. What of it?

Right, see you tomorrow.

Bye!
