    :eek: Sunnygirl i bet she gave you a fright it's horrible when that happens isn't it. DS1 at about the same age wandered out of the changing room at the swimming pool it took a few minutes to find him but it felt like a lifetime. I thought he'd gone and got in the pool but he was out by reception.
  • I have had the best start to a week ever!
    My wife decided to give me a lie in and so didn't wake me. I came downstairs to find that she had got the kids off to school and cleaned the kitchen and dining room for me :j:j:j. So I have cleaned the lounge, playroom and conservatory - which she even hoovered :D:D:D. When I asked her why she'd done it she said that she could see I had made a real effort recently to get on top of the housework and thought I deserved a break. I think at the moment that I have the best wife in the world..... however if she brings me flowers home from work this evening I'll know she's feeling guilty about something :rotfl:.

    So I have a good start to this week which is just as well as I still have a large list of goals for may. I didn't reach my MACAW last week so I'm going for it again.

    I hope everyone's well. I'll read through the thread when I can - can't believe it's so many pages already.

    Rose- no nerves vibes for you honey

    PIGPEN - get yourself to the doctors! They are there to help you, pleeeeease listen to Triker.

    Jo - that was a great answer hun, can you print out your list of reasons its great to be single and keep it in your handbag or in a pocket for moments like that? I'm still blowing raspberries at him if it helps ;)

    Sunnygirl - that must have been so scary for you, but you are not a bad mum at all! I would guess that most parents go through that, but obviously I don't know. Lots of hugs xx

    I've had a quick zoom around this morning, only took half an hour coz I've kept up with the lists :)

    Lots of hugs to everyone xxxxx
