its not too bad:

BT 18:10 
WU 5:35  Nap 1hr 40mins (my fault,  was so tired i fell asleep)  BT 21:00 disaster
WU 6:20  BT 18:45
WU 6:07  BT 18:30 She was shattered, full meltdown as soon as she got in the car at 5pm
WU 5:40

I'm guessing just an 1hr nap today and 7pm BT and hope shell catch up a bit on the 2 NND's over night?

So BT was 19:15 it was not too bad, she complained but I lay on the floor and told her I was going to sleep there next to her and she fell asleep in 15 mins. So lets hope she stays asleep and doesn't wake too early x

She complained that she wasn't tired enough? Or something else?

Yeah wasn't tired and she wanted to come downstairs, but not sure if she's just doing that as we brought her down again the 2 times she had a long nap and didn't go to sleep until 9pm.

She doesn't miss a trick my girl. She's been so clingy the last 2 months as well, wants to sit on my knee all the time, asks me to feed her and, wont go out without me. Crying if daddy wants to take the girls to their aunties for a visit

Woke up at 5:20 she won't even stay quietly in her room , she just cries and shouts mummy constantly over and over.

It's 7:30 and she's lying on the sofa with a cover over her saying she is really tired.

Hmm hard to say, especially if she does end up having a late, short nap - imagine she wouldn't then be keen on a really early BT... But if she doesn't nap, 6:30pm seems to work quite well for you on NNDs, right?

Wu 5:15 (what a lovely birthday treat for me).

So I need a plan for the weekends. If wed thu are nnd's when would you do the catch up and when would you do the 1hr nap?

I'm assuming this is ot?

It does sound OT, given how much sleep she has ended up missing out on.  How early could you get her down for her nap?  If you could get her down for, say, 11.30 then she could have a longish nap and then still a good length of time until bedtime. It sounds to me like she is OT, but the afternoon a is not long enough for her to go to sleep easily and then she is missing her window and having an OT night.

Hi just popping in and not read while thread but have you considered just ditching the nap totally and going for EBT? We ended up just going cold turkey as naps just affected BT, if DS dropped off in the car or buggy we just allowed 20 mins max.
