Valli

I must be feeling MUCH better as I have just tore a strip off DS and DD who have NOT washed a pot.
I bought new castors and slots today for DSs bed - one cast kept coming out the slot bit was totalled and he has another with a cracked wheel so now all sorted.

So pleased to see that you have not ended up in A&E Valli was about to call you when W climbed out of bed and caught his head the edge of his chest of drawers (not exactly sure how!) which caused lots of tears and a 'lovely' cut on his forehead. Another scar to add to his collection I think!

By the time I had calmed him down and got him back to bed with a plaster on his wound I must admit I had forgotten I was about to call and went and watched TV!. Quickly skimmed thread for an update before calling and see you are ok, phew!

Soappie - don't worry, I think not buying the pegs proves that Valli is now one of us, a normal, non peg obsessed person!!!

Valli - I just wish my two did wake at the crack of dawn. I always have to get up and be very loud on the way to the bathroom to wake them up. I'm not mean though. I do give them until 730am before I wake the household:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: . I'm the only one who finds it hard to go to sleep on christmas eve too:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: xx
