it's been a really tough week sleep wise since we arrived home from Vancouver. G had absolutely no problem dealing with the time difference when we got to Vancouver but coming back to the UK was another matter entirely. we went from the best sleep we've had for months to no sleep at all. it was brutal. she's sort of getting back to normal but unfortunately she's got a nasty cough at the moment which keeps waking her. we've had her sleeping with us (please don't tell my anti-co-sleeping mother!) for the last few nights because it's the only way to get her to go down easily but it isn't ideal. not only does she always take up more than half my side of the bed, she also sleep crawls/climbs which is initially amusing and then really rather annoying. still, it's better than sitting up for 5 hours praying that you'll get a couple of hours sleep before the flipping house alarm starts going off again (it's been a real bundle of laughs around here). anyway, so far tonight she has stayed asleep in her own cot. i think she might need her nappy changing but i just can't bring myself to wake her. i'll probably go to hell but at least i might be nice and rested for it. we had a great time in Vancouver by the way.
it's been a good and a bad day today. G and i spent the whole day at home and it was a really nice day. in between reading and playing, i did lots of cleaning, made some IKEA furniture and put all new bedding on our bed. i felt like i'd actually achieved something for once! then the cg came home and revealed that he'd been notified that the government have been undertaxing us for 6 months. they want �6k in repayments and from now on they will be taking an extra couple of hundred a month from us. this sucks - it also blows. the cg was livid. i hate seeing him upset. it's not the end of the world but it means that G's savings will have a couple of grand less in them than we planned to have by the end of the year. i;ve also been feeling really bad about the driving thing today. i'm still not able to just get in a car and go somewhere. until sunday i hadn't used the car for maybe a couple of months. i drove to the supermarket with the cg and G in tow. it's only now that i think about it that i realise that even though i'm not driving willy-nilly all over the place at least i wasn't scared silly when i was in the car at the weekend. maybe a little nervous but not out and out scared like i used to be. i guess that's something. right?
