    Level 1 and 2 for today, done (apart from the half hour peace...I'll save that for later when I can enjoy it! )

    Rach - you must be feeling awful - hope talking to your friend helps. it is good that your OH has been honest, and maybe talking about it with you will help him to understand what's holding him back. don't throw bricks, but I can kind of understand where he's coming from - in our relationship it was DH that wanted kids more than me. I did feel guilty when I kept saying "not yet", but I'm glad I waited till I was ready too- I think I would have resented it terribly otherwise, especially when the girls were younger and more hard work.

    You know me always happy to help out but I fear my dog may well eat it for it's dinner if my OH didn't throw it out before hand (he hates cats), but any other spares you fling I'll have ;)

    Lol.. unless you have a great dane, it may well eat the dog! i swear, I thought Noel was a big cat and this monster makes 2 of him.. I still think it is a neutered male.. not a pregnant female like my sis thought.

    Fire lit, WM on and i'm in the middle of bleaching the kitchen walls.

    Rach big hugs, i'm sure he will come round.
    PenPen good luck to your DS.
    Quillion they look great, i only wish i could knit. I did learn but can't remember how to drop down, i'd end up with one very long line.:rotfl:
    Hope all poorlies are on the mend.

    Right i better get a move on, need to get Rhys ready and head into the town and then head to this appointment.

    Catch up with you all later.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
