    Debt-free and Proud!
    Good morning, sorry about all the wee casualties! My 2 are now aged 9 and 13 and they seem to have stopped trying to maim each other...for now, but we did have some lovely trips to A&E in our time. Ballbearings stuck in ears, broken wrists, failure to brake when suddenly confronted with garden wall etc...

    Diva, beekeeping is wonderful. We only started last year and were terrified, but we are fast becoming proficient. Our bees are so cool.

    Pack for weekend away at parents house

    Lists done for today and tomorrow.. in case we have another drama or I collapse in a snoring heap at 2pm!!

    I tend to have runs of drama.. in case noone has noticed!

    ooh.. I was all sensible this time though.. when DS1 cut his hand I grabbed the nearest towel.. the white one! This time I thinked for a second and used a red tea towel lol...

    DS2 was most impressed that he had a yellow face like a Simpson... after being scrubbed with iodine!

    Oh.. and it looks like he is not responsive to lidocaine.. so he felt every single pull tug and stab with the needles! 9 injections of the lidocaine and I think they said 5 stitches.. I don't think I could have not cried!
