    I must get myself a Positive Mental Attitude.... quickly. They are already driving me mad.:mad: They are already fighting:(

    I thought having my leg in a cast for 6 weeks was bad .... but 6 weeks of this:(

    I can't take them out as can't drive at the moment and can't walk very far either !!

    Must dig out a DVD or something.

    There are 6 of us in our house me &dh, ds1(15) ds2(13) ds3 (10) and dd(7) 2 dogs 1 cat!! Never a dull moment:) Our ds3 has a learning disability and that complicates things further!!

    Off now to finish reading the rest!!

    Love Sharron x
