    Just a thought, is she 'left out' or does she get the rare joy in a multiple child family in the summer holidays of even more quality time with you?

    Library, museum and picnic sounds lovely. I'd save the nice coffee as a treat for when its just you, so you can really enjoy it if that makes sense? Good coffee is my weakness too.

    I don't think she understands being left out yet, she has spent a lot of time away in hospital etc so is use to it being just her and one of us. She enjoys the time spent anywhere that isn't hospital.

    I just think she's getting to an age where she will realise that they are doing it and she isn't and I don't want anything to make her feel she can't do something.. because you can do anything if you put your mind to it ;)

    Catching up while the kids eat the last of the pack lunch and we are in between appointments.

    We've done the museum (rubbish because most is closed for maintenance) and have stopped in the library and got their challenge cards stamped for school.

    The weather has stayed nice though after the rain over night :D and I resisted coffee so far.. however no guarantees after the next appointment is done :rotfl:

    With a mum like you, she's bound to be sure of that!

    Thank you :)

    Finally home! Wow was a long one! I am running on empty right now, I think I need 4 coffees :rotfl: Free ones from home though not bought ones ;)

    NSD :D

    Swagbucks vouchers in. So near to having enough to totally finish the bits for the girls room. I guess I could add money to and just order but where's the fun in that :p Still hoping to cover it totally with vouchers :rotfl:

    Kids are in the bath after eating curry from the slowcooker and I think they will be away to sleep right away after the day we've had.
  • Glad you have had a good day HI, you are much stronger than me I think I would have cracked and had a coffee.

    Take care x

    Really chuffed for you getting the DLA, your SOA looks so much better now. You are always such a busy bee, you really do put most people to shame.
