Status updates

24-hours in the life of a facebook update, starting after little man's bedtime on Thursday:
Janine
hopes Ben's shoes dry out by tomorrow.
can't be bothered to pick up the pegs off the floor yet again.
forgot she still had washing on the line but is glad she ventured out in the dark as it's a lovely wild night and she now wishes she could go for a stroll.
isn't really enjoying this Pinot Grigio but will force herself to finish the glass anyway.
is taking a cup of the obligatory camomile and spearmint tea to bed.
was surprised when a piece of woodchip from the playground fell out of her bra.
didn't sleep very well, thinks it was down to the aforementioned Pinot Grigio and was woken at 6am.
isn't sure how she came to have a teaspoon in her bed but could do without being bashed in the nose with it.
is fed up of sneezing.
is trying to solve the mystery of the disappearing nappy wrap.
...Take it to the checkout, that's the plan; Take it to the checkout, get it scanned... (Boogie Beebies).
has to go and round up the chickens because she forgot to shut the door to their run last night.
is fed up of sitting in the Ikea car park especially as she has finished the book she has in the car for these eventualities and little man has now been asleep for an hour when he normally only does 30 minutes.
tum te tum, isn't it about time you woke up little man.
used to think that most people worked 9-5 but now knows better - most people are in Ikea on a Friday morning.
thinks it is very blustery.
tum te tum.
do I wake a sleeping baby? It's not a question I usually have to worry about. I'm going to open some car doors and the boot...
resisted the call of meatballs and gravy.
experienced atrocious customer service in Asda Widnes but at least it stopped her buying the hideous chavvy trainers for little man, which were the only ones they had in his size and he only needed because mummy forgot his proper shoes, which were on the mat by the back door drying after little man climbed into the puddle on the sandpit cover last night. Thank goodness for Ethel Austin.
thinks she got the raw deal when she ended up pedalling three children round a roundabout.
was glad she had her hand-knitted wrist warmers in her pocket.
didn't see the sign (which had fallen down) until after little man had immersed his arms in the water features up to the elbows: Contains cleaning agents, do not touch the water.
saw a book that promises to make you into a Buddha in 5 days. Wow. And all for £3.99.
is sitting down with a cuppa while someone else makes dinner.
loves fresh white bread even if it is nutritionally dubious.
can't believe little man took two hours to settle at bedtime, usually he's out like a light. He has also drunk about 13oz of milk.
is thinking of finishing off that bottle of her dad's wine, there's only a bit left, it's really not worth keeping until tomorrow.
