What a day! Started off by trying and failing to get up properly, due to an early waking Josie who got out the wrong side of bed. “Milk mummy… please… milk… why????” she pleaded… *mute eye rolling* Eventually shook her off with a goodly helping of sugar puffs and belted through parcels as quick as […]
