    Just catching up Tilly. You commenting on how fast DD has grown up has made me want to treasure my little ones even more. At nearly 2 and 5 I already wonder where the time has gone!

    Sounds like you have a sensible girl there doing her TT's, will stand her in good stead when she goes off to uni.

    Or simply more asparagus :D.

    MallyGirl - good taste in more than user name :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Everyone tells you they grow up quickly but as a parent there are times when you think "when will they be through the terrible twos" or whatever stage they are at. You then realise they have almost grown up and are ready, and more importantly able and capable, to live on their own. Certainly each chapter brings joy and tears, but those memories are massively important. :T

    No pennies to TT :(

    However the sun is out, the washing is swirling in the machine and I have a day off :T

    Jobs
    Ironing - looks like a mountain :o
    More washing
    Clean the kitchen
    Plan menu for next week and write up shopping list

    Just to make life fun, I want to finish all this by about 11 as I intend lounging in the garden with a book :).

    Have a good day x x
