    Those are great ages for the littlies - lots of fun :) and the forward roll by Auntie must have been especially interesting.

    Well done you on the 4 hours work - that really is **good**.

    Please tell me you had the wellies on for the forward rolls :rotfl:

    It is so lovely to have littlies in the family, I miss that now all my nieces are grown up :( And they weren't impressed when I asked when they were going to make me a GrAunty :rotfl: Damn career women sometimes :eek: (I am very proud of them all, honest!)

    Sound like a good weekend, Daff.

    And look on the bright side for the forward roll: at least you had nice knickers to flash at them! :rotfl:

    Sounds like you had a great weekend! I used to not be a child person at all but have recently realised my little cousins are very cute... Mr L teases me for being brooody (but not at all, I only like them when they're not my responsibility and I can give them back!! :D)

    Hope work is going well today! :D

    Well done, lotti, for such a well-considered POV on kids. It mirrors mine exactly! ;)

    And mine, pretty much :D

    (no wellies for the forward roll :rotfl: would have knocked a few heads off! :rotfl: And I ain't got my nice knickers yet either! :rotfl:) :D

    Long and busy day at work today, quite satisfying though :D PhD on the train too, and just resting this evening.

    Got in from work at Mr Daffs has painted one of the kitchen walls bright yellow! :j :j :rotfl: :rotfl: :j

    They do indeed! Never quite know what I'm going to come home to at the minute! :rotfl: We're at the stage where living room has had a bit of a major shift around and lots of things still on the floor, and most of contents of kitchen are in middle of floor, but the sofa is always clear, and there's always a place to sit and eat tea, which is always cooked so I'm not complaining! :T (and like today, sometimes there's something very exciting happened when I get in!) :T :T Palace indeed :D

    Bright yellow? Very cheery indeed! :j Oh and tea cooked every night, what luxury! :rotfl: That must make all the difference when travelling so much AND PhD'ing!

    Studying at home again today, got exams tomorrow and Thursday. Why is it revision feels so much less satisfying than writing? I think it is because there is nothing physical to show for it at the end, it is supposed to be all stored up in the little grey cells. :cool:

    Hope you did lots of revision Lotti!

    Bright yellow is indeed very cheery :j :j :j It's had another coat today, and now the curtains are back up (red velvet, of course :D), so it's looking great :D:D It's getting there!

    (pesky phd is also getting there - slowly). Working at home tomorrow and Thursday, so I'll try and squeeze in an hour or so of PhD editing before I start, do my day's work, then Mr Daffs is out so I'll spend the evening PhDing too, and will try to get most of the conclusions done, and another chapter edited. Yawn yawn yawn, but nearly there! :T
