I think it is fair to say I am having one of those few weeks/ Month. It has really been two fold in all honesty. First of I can put it down to piss poor planning and to be honest rather nieve planning on the part of Mrs H and myself. Every year we have Charlotte for around 5 weeks when she is on various holidays. This year since Mari will be off with Isa we figured squandering parts of holiday would be ok because Mari would be off and able to look after Isa and Charlotte. So for the last two weeks she has basically had both to look after. This is due to in thanks to me taking the odd day during the snow and the difficult birth, I had very little holiday left. Of course be the week that Isa has decided that sleep is not high on her list of things to do.

Now Charlotte is not really hard work. She pretty much looks after herself in the morning. Breakfast, TV,Wii etc are all well with in her abilities. It is however the emotional investment. Mari can't really relax and concentrate on Isa or Charlotte she has to split her time. When she settles Isa, Charlotte needs something. When Charlotte is fed and watered Isa need looking after. I think you get the drift. I on the other hand have been here at work.

So it all started to unfold last week when Daddy's green car started to sound funny (second fold coming up). I had booked my final two days entitlement for Thursday and friday so that we could go up to Mums and Watch Oli in a show. Turns out car was proper broken and bit needed to be ordered. Supplier set wrong bit no chance of going Thursday then. OK should be Friday. Get car back head off and get 10 miles when she overheats. Back to garage then, get loan car. Bit late now to travel.

So I basically wasted my last two days holiday as we couldn't go anywhere. Car is costing me a fortune, and as I write still in garage. Isa is not sleeping. Charlotte is bored. Mari is at her wits end (lack of sleep).My back went. We also had another bit of news which I will go into later if it is confirmed.
