    Abbie the local school? do they still use chalk or the playgroup might have some, a local street artist?

    Toots enjoy the gifts, sounds like someone has been very busy wrapping (ps it has nothing to do with me, and who ever sent it is very thoughtful and kind xx)

    Abbie if you blow up balloon tonight and put in tree and it is windy they might burst on the branches, you might be better blowing them up tonight if you have to and storing in a bedroom / where ever and putting them up tomorrow about an hour or so before the party.
    I went out to visit a customer last week and all the girl children were making fairy wings for a party!!

    decluttered salad for lunch.

    Was it MissA who wanted to do some growing of things? if so will this help

    Well I'm afraid this afternoon has been a bit of a bust. After this morning's flurry of activity, the smalls have needed some mummy time.

    Freya is asleep now, but Owen's wide awake, messing up the house as quickly as I tidy it.

    Right, enough whingeing, I'm getting the TD on and folding some washing.

    Oh freedom2b, the bin incident wouldn't have been too bad, but I didn't notice until I'd poured his bin into the big black bag (which, of course, had a big, black hole in it!!!) and so the wee ended up all over the kitchen floor. Ho hum. How can small people be so wonderful and awful at the same time?

    Ok, off I go again.
