    you and me both - as a mum you either go to the loo every time you pass one......or you end up waiting with crossed legs for what seems like ages.........:o

    so make sure you do some pelvic floor exercises!;);););)

    So much so that DS still asleep (almost unheard of) - its all this fresh sea air :D

    Right, best depong and get dressed and then crack on - see you all soon!

    Morning everyone, kitchen man turned up at 9 last night and the only thing left now is the kick board (need sparky first). Cooker hood, cupboard and wine rack now up.:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Rhys also took his first two steps by himself last night, i'm so chuffed.:D I give him a week now and he'll be running room the livingroom.:rotfl:

    Today i need to get another coat on the utility room and get all moved back in, at least then i'll be able to open the back door. Then me and hubby will have a go at the units left over and if it works out that will be another room done.:D
    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.
