Our nice neighbour and a great day from the twins

The night shift went well. Though I was not too happy that I went to bed later than what I wanted to.

The twins though once they had settled off to sleep for a good length of time. I think they are beginning to settle down into nice sleeping patterns. They still wake obviously at night but the foundations are beginning to be laid and so far I think they are going well. They settle off to sleep in their baskets with out fuss and sleep for some hours so I am happy with how it is going. They also are getting on nicely without being swaddled and without sleeping bags, which is also good. I am also really happy that they are managing to settle off without dummies. I do not really mind them but I could not help but feeling a failure with Wolfie because he had a dummy.

The rest of the night went well. I wanted to get up at 9 but I struggled to get up and I only managed to get up at 9.40. I went through and made breakfast for Devil boy, Wolfie and I. Wolfie decided that he wanted to eat his breakfast this morning and while he made a mess it was not that much considering how much porridge he ate.

I was going to go over to Devil boy’s grandmas with all three in the morning but she called to say that she was going out. I then used this opportunity to put Wolfie off for a nap. I then got the twins ready. Wolfie must have been really tired, as it did not take long for him to fall asleep. I then fed the twins while he slept.

I decided that when he got up that as he did not seem himself that I would not bother taking him out. I will try another day. Devil boy made his dinner and I have something to eat before getting ready to go out.

I bumped into my friend while I was out. She had not had a good night’s rest last night and she looked absolutely shattered. We chatted for a shirt while before I headed up to Devil boys grandmas house.

I had a really nice time up there. We chatted for a bit and watched some programmes. I think she would like getting Sky in. She lives watching quiz shows and it would be nice for her to treat herself to it, as there is a quiz show channel. While I was there I noticed one of the funky scarves that Devil boys mum had knitted her. I was looking at it when she said that if I could repair it I could have it. That was really nice of her. It looks easily repairable. She was also telling me that Devil boys mum will be back over at the weekend and that she will be staying at her house for a short while. I think she will enjoy that and it will be nice for both her and Devil boys mum.

When I got back I browsed the Internet and replied to a message from my fiend. I also managed to see the neighbour above us. He has had a door outside his entrance for a while and as we need a new door I asked him what he was going to do with it. He told me strait away that we could have it. I think that was really nice of him, as I would have bought it from him. We will use that door in the kitchen and replace the twin’s bedroom door with the old kitchen door. The door was in really good condition considering that it had been outside all winter. As it was snowing we have the door, which is to go to the twins room in the kitchen. I really have to sort out the kitchen out and soon, as it is too chaotic and not very organised at all. I then tidied up while Deil boy bathed and put Wolfie to bed. He settled off again perfectly. After he had settled off to sleep he took his daughter home.

I then changed and fed the twins. They have been wonderful today. They have taken good feeds and then had good sleeps in-between. They have been asleep all afternoon. While I fed them I start rereading the Star Wars book that I finished yesterday. I felt like reading it again. I also have to look out for clues so I am going to make sure that I read it carefully.

I am going to make sure that I get all of the things that I need to get done before bed done quickly so that I do not go to bed as late as last night.
