Mine are still up... 12 & 9 years old,
Picked them up from their mums at 1.00pm today and they can stay up as late as they like!
They'll hopefully have a massive lie in tomorrow too which I'd be very happy about.
Precious time - enjoy it.
My 6-y-o has just gone to bed. A long day of much excitement, presents and Canvey Island. Life gets no better.
I pick up my daughter tomorrow morning. Only yesterday I decided to give the QPR game a miss as the 27th is the only day we have the chance to all chill out at home together as we're out again tomorrow and also the 28th and 29th.
It's 23:40 and I'm just about to have my first drink of the day. Cheers!
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
