Not only is Tx struck down with a heavy cold, but tonight Baggins is suffering the same.
Its a nightmare - she cannot settle and is just moaning loudly from her cot. She's keeping her mum awake too. She's quiet now up here with me but what happens when I try to put her back into bed?

Was planning to do the amends for some of the aa maps that came in on monday but I seem unable to get round to it. Instead I'm making a good start sorting some of the Foxx material out that has been left in pile s of discs all round my desk. I think its about time I actually made a list of what I have and tried to store it in some kind of order!!

But I'm tired. It was an exhausting day yesterday and today has been a real strain. The kids have been great, but it is difficult with all five of them on my own. they played with and put away some of the Christmas 'stuff' this morning - Ali and I made a mummy and a sarcophagus out of plaster gauze! - then after lunch I took them over to a 'play place' down by the docks. Needs must and they had a good time, but its not usually high on my list of entertainment choices.
Hopefully if Tx does manage to get some sleep we will venture over to Wickham tomorrow.
