    Skintbreeder - so glad you know your limitations and I hope there is someone around to just do the little bits and pieces for you like the tea and biscuit. When I read your story last week about your hospital visit it made me realise how difficult it must be trying to get the balance right for your expected skintbaby. Please look after the both of you xxx
    Mummyof5 - hope things settle down with DS
    Beckseven - welcome and well done

    well I have to say how much I love my DH who has been such a treasure today. Following my parking ticket yesterday (which I am disputing because the sign said the controlled zone was mon - sat) he decided to get me a replacement type for the one bordering on illegal which I cant afford until payday. He actually got 2 as !pparently you cant just put one on you have to put them on in pairs' but he actually took it to the garage and had to have the brake discs and pads replaced as well and they were corroded and down to micromillimetres. How can I not love him when the bill was £532 :eek: Guess I'm playing payback big time :whistle: lol and some serious reshuffling of finances when we come backs from hols.

    Full day at the paid stuff tomorrow but will need to fly when I come home as mum is coming to stay with DD when we are away :(

    Love and huggles to all

    DH was up and out before 6. Like juliejim I've only catnapped since 3.30 when DD1 got up for work.

    I'm torn between staying home to do the lists or to head to Westf1eld to spend my Christmas vouchers. I'm not that confident àbout driving there and have 101 jobs to do at home.

    The little ones went back to school yesterday without incident. My planning and preperation last week paid off.

    House is still quiet so I'm off to get showered.

    I hope everyone has a good day.
