    Rabbit now shifted and looks rather happy, plus it will leave it abit easier for the kids.:D
    Car now packed up again so thats sorted for the morning.

    Rhys has been in an awful mood today, everytime i lift him he squeezes me really tight and seems afraid i'm gonna drop him or something. He's never been like this before. (confused smilie)
    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.

    Unfortunately not (I could blame it then!), she's a couple of weeks away yet :(. I have been feeling unusually broody lately though..... Well, I did until the Easter holidays began and the ensuing chaos has proved a very successful treatment for that!:rotfl: I'm hoping it's lack of sleep, my youngest, nearly 8, doesn't seem to need sleep like a normal human bean does. His bedtime is 7.30 but he was still awake reading at 1am a couple of nights ago and that was the day we went on a 5 mile walk - he just doesn't seem to tire out. That, coupled with the fact he has developed a mans 'selective hearing' unusually early and I'm frazzled! Mix in a smart-mouthed eleven year old and a ten year old who is very good at lighting the blue touch paper and then stepping back with such innocence it's amazing and I'm way past the end of my tether!

    I know there are people on here with more children/bigger problems and I promise I'm normally more held together than this. Hopefully it is just a blip and I'll be right as rain tomorrow!

    Blimey, don't you hate it when you innocently ask after someone and they launch into two paragraphs of inane moaning :o:rotfl:Sorry!

    Floor still not mopped :o

    Um... if I hadn't left home when I was 20, I'd probably have still been in a cupboard.... sorry Mum!:D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Not yet :( I'm hoping no news is good news.....will let you know if I hear anything xx

    Hugs to diva when you speak to her (and, it goes without saying, big, sloppy, massive hugs to you too!!!)

    DD has apologised for her mood - we're still at the stage where we get apologies! Bless her! She's either very, very, very nice or a complete little madam!!!! (she does remind me of me :D). I've just been to buy her a few cooking bits for her birthday - she really wanted some bits for icing cakes and other cooking bits.

    I'm off to s/s the garden and water the seeds in the greenhouse. I love this time of year in the garden.

    Lots of hugs xx
