    So you're the reason I've put on 7lbs in a week - it has nothing at all to do with the white bread, crisps, chocolate, cake etc I've been eating :p:rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks for the support, the decision was made by the children in the end - they are booked in three days a week for now, possibly more once I have seen the client next week. The highlight of last night was when DS2 split DS1s head open with a hammer. I kid you not. Blood and everything. Do you ever wonder why you thought having children was a good idea?

    Been out all day so not a lot done, and spending this evening doing building stuff with DH. I did wash small boy blood off various things - does that count as flying? Got stuck on closed M way for a couple of hours this morning, on my own. Lovely to get a bit of peace and quiet even if I was very very late for a client meeting.

    I knew there must be some reason I was putting on weight - cause I haven't been eating any chocolate, ice-cream, biscuits or anything like that!:D

    ifits- have to say I wish that they could design a pair of glasses for men so that they could actually see the mess that the create. DH doesn't notice mess either. Although I guess at least then he never moans about it either;)
