I agree with this: I love the way you tell us about all the different things you're learning to make from scratch - very impressive! Your kids are really lucky to have you :T

Just found out I got a £10 library fine because I thought I had renewed some books when actually I hadn't :mad: :mad: :mad: Luckily they cap it at £10 or it would have been even more! I'm not going to count it in my total until they actually bill me for it though... Ooohh well, worse things happen. Otherwise I've spent £5.99 on a new Thermos flask (on sale!) because I broke the last one so I'm up to £15.08 of my £17.80 limit, with 5 days to go before the end of term. It'll be fine :cool:
