Hmm... okay, so Rhys is just totally anti sleep these days, home or away, big cry or no big cry... :cool: Unpacking is taking a while longer than anticipating

Sings... <Run away train never coming back... Wrong way on a one way track... Seems like I should be getting somewhere... Somehow it's neither here nor there...>

My Hubby just did a whole research project on the McGann brothers since I told him Joe was clearly better than Paul... At least... When you're 11 anyway...

When I saw Footloose at the theatre Joe played the vicar/priest (and Derek offof dancing with the stars was 'kevin bacon')
was it Joe who was in The Upper Hand? I used to LOVE that and had a wee crush on which ever one he is/was

Oh dear! My Dad used to get loads of mice cos he has stone walls (rather in brick) so we had traps everywhere!

I remember being home one night and he hadn't told me he set them and I heard snap, snap snap at 3am :eek:

More sleep during the day is defineitly the way to go in this house! Jack had 90minutes at 11am, then 1hr 15mins at 3pm, another 30mins at 6pm and went down no problem tonight. We have a routine but the times vary everyday cos he wakes up at different times - today it was 8.45am but that won't work when I go back to work!
(and it was only because he was in our bed from 5am!)

Do you wait with her while she goes off? I am struggling with Benjamin ATM because he doesn't want me to leave the room. He squeals like a stuck pig!

Not usually, but she was also squealing like a stuck pig this evening! Has Benjamin been teaching her? Plus J was already asleep and I didn't want her waking him, him squealing, waking her and so on!

Me too! How are they supposed to learn not to put their hands in the fire, if you don't let them find out for themselves if it hurts! :rotfl: (That was a joke btw, before anyone reaches for the phone to ring Esther! - but you get the point!)

Can everyone on FB do me a heaving flavour? I'm stuck at one point in Bubble Island and I cant use the checkpoints cos I dont have enough friends playing, so if you could just play a level and ignore further if you wish I would be eternally grateful :rotfl: its here, thank you! xx

Thanks for that Em. I'm addicted now.


Had a lovely quiet day. All three children got far too many easter eggs. OH got me a Lindt bunny - I don't really like chocolate, but if I need some, i'd have to be Cadburys.

We had an Aldi three bird roast (ew-er mrs! Snigger) for lunch. It was very nice, but i'm unsure about the marmalade glaze it came with. I've got loads left over and was thinking about a pie tomorrow. When you have chicken pie, it seems to be more of a white sauce than a gravy?!? Any recipies welcome.

I was just thinking that.. I was tackling the kitchen, thinking I don't want to see dishes when I get in from work piled up from the last night or more. Perhaps Rhys' nap at 5pm, his tea at 7pm, ours at 7.30pm then OH tackle bedtime and I tidy up, on the sofa by 9pm

All well and good if you can get them to sleep more than 45 mins max, if at all! :cool:
