One long shop!

We seemed to spend all weekend shopping...or at least looking for something, but failing to find what we want. We've been looking for some storage for my card making stuff. We were just looking for a filing unit to begin with, but by the end of Saturday we'd gone on to some type of bureau to give me some space of my own to work in. We didn't find anything suitable all weekend, despite trying second hand shops, Ikea and all the furniture shops in town( surprisingly few of them). We've ended up bidding for a bureau in Ebay, hopefully we'll be able to get it cheaply. We'll need to pick it up in Cambridge if we win it....what a shame....another excuse to go back and see some of my friends :-)

The munchkin has decided that evening are no longer for sleep. The past two nights it has taken her 2 1/2 + hours to settle properly and go to sleep. It's so draining, and especially difficult when we know she's tired and just fighting sleep. The heat in the house really doesn't help. The munchkin's bedroom has averaged 26/27 C when we're trying to get her to go down for the night. We had a fan on to keep the air moving, the windows open and the dehumidifier on to try and reduce the mugginess last night and it was gone 11pm before she settled properly (she goes to bed at about 6:30 usually!). She was wide awake by 9:30 this morning which was a bit earlier than usual as well. She has just had a really good nap though so hopefully she's a bit more rested and feeling a bit better again. She's been very clingy so far today, I'm guessing it's because she's been tired...we'll see!
