    Going to make pizza now and a trial run of the gingerbread trees.

    Evening will be wrapping - kids going to bed early - they are tired, I'm tired and I have the joy of checking for nits to come yet.

    Ok I need some ideas girls! DD2 has been practically non-stop crying since I got her up at 4pm as she was awake. I think she's having teething problems so I've given her some paracetamol, a drink and a couple of sweets as those kept her quiet for a few minutes. She's in her highchair at the moment and I tried to take her out to give her a cuddle and got screamed at, I also tried to get her cup off her to get her some more drink and got screamed at again! :rolleyes: So any ideas what I can do with her to calm her down? I would give her some tea but I'm cooking it so she'll have to wait.

    Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! :eek:
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
