    A couple of pennies for the pot again :D. DD2 is in a right one today, had a nap woke up and decided she was the incredible hulk in pink :eek: :rotfl: :eek:...Yes, you've guessed it - it's now, her big sister thinks is a great time to wind her up :eek:. Sisterly love hey :rotfl:...Keeping my fingers crossed she's not starting to come down with something (that's when the crankiness usually starts, and when she's tired :p).
    She found 5p for us today, so she's in the good books anyway....Oooo spoke to soon, were back to normality, sitting side by side - hope it lasts :D.

    Happy Potting everyone and wish me luck :D, I think I'm going to need it :rotfl:.

    I need some sort of crystal ball, caravan and dodgy veil :rotfl:...Sure enough the little one woke up this morning throwing up all over everything, and then decided to spread the joy to downstairs :eek:. I don't think me and her are out adventuring today :(...Boo. Hiss.
    Stuck a 20p in the pot to make us feel better though :rotfl: :p :rotfl:.

    Hope you all have a good weekend :beer:.
