    Well after work tonight we are off to my Mum's to shampoo all her carpets - why do we agree to do these things! But I will try and fit in what I can afterwards and possibly even something else from yesterday's list too - who knows! Nothing ventured and all that!

    Good luck to everyone else today too - off to empty dishwasher and washing machine, and feed the tumble dryer!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

  • Morning everyone.

    Jenagain - Congratulations!

    Hellyboo - Enjoy it while it lasts! Our first evidence of our 2 fighting is a video taken in a theme park queue. DS2 was 9 months old and sitting on Dad's arm calmly,repeatedly kicking DS1, aged 4, in the head. As he had no shoes on DS1 didn't even react. Expect mayhem for a while while they are young. We are pretty much through to the otherside as they are now aged 12 & 15, they still argue (mostly when 1 or both of them are tired) & we get the occasional scuffle but with DS1 more a man than a boy now these are shortlived. 99% of the time they get on just fine.
