MOT, exhaustion and what not's

It's 3:30am Saturday, yesterday, I slept from 10am ish until 5pm and then from 9pm - 2am ish today. The spasms really ground me down, it's not the longest I've slept for, but it certainly cost me the day. All I can say is I'm grateful that Mike was here, and although I know he doesn't fully understand, I know he does understand. 
I just wish there was a way to stay awake sometimes. But it's not the way it is, my body is like a battery that doesn't charge fully, and doesn't take a lot to go flat, and the only way I can charge it somewhat is to sleep. 
Well the car failed it's MOT, it's going to cost about 100£ to fix it, it's what I'd class as an unexpected expense, but money was put aside before it came up, and Mike has an appointment for 8:30 am today to get it repaired, the only downfall to that is, is that he's sick. He started being ill last night, so fingers crossed he'll be OK to get it done. On that note, I'm going to shut down the PC and relax a little bit, because I'm going to be needed later.
Take care x

Tomorrow Mikes MOT is due, (Just for the FYI an MOT is the UKs 'road worthy test', you pay for the test, and if it fails you have to pay to get the car fixed, then take another test, and if you pass they give you a certificate, basically, and it's a legal requirement). I don't think it's going to fail, it's in an alright condition, the only thing I can think of is the wipers aren't working perfectly on every speed, but they work, so it should be OK. We'll see lol (Fingers crossed).
I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do for Andrews first birthday, I'm going to ask the sister in law where they rented the hall and disco area from, how much it costs and if it's reasonable, there will be a lot of baking going on in this house lol, (I'm looking forward to it). I've ordered plastic plates/bowls/cups/cutlery it's just going to make life so much easier, especially with little ones, and I said to Mike they can be used for picnics in the summer too. I'll update on that one later too. 
Today I've spent a lot of the day cleaning, I surprised myself at how much I'd managed to get done. (Although I did sleep lol). There is still a fair bit to do, but I might 'volunteer' Sarah into helping me lol, she can go faster then me and she's young and healthy.. That's my excuse :) . 
Sarah's dress arrived with beading missing on it, I've contacted them and asked if they'll send replacement beading so I can sew them in place, it's just a case of 'hand depending' but they have a while to their school prom, so I have the time, to take my time. 
Well I hope you all have a good day, and take care as always.
