In other news, it's not the nsd I planned for, as I decided to get the children a toy/magazine/something to celebrate. I offered them anything they wanted for dinner, including going out, and dd chose hm pizza! It obviously tastes THAT good!!
I'm going to eat later, as I don't fancy pizza, don't know what I'll have yet. Then going to have a long well-deserved soak in the tub.
Catch you later!
