    Feel all fed up now. DS3 being difficult for the sake of it and DS1 back from football, ,moaning this, moaning that, spilling milk, leaving empty milk bottles on the side - I'm bl**dy having none of it.

    Fed up of other parents taking the p**s about lift sharing - DS1 always arranges for me to take 2 to cricket and as they finish at different times I pick up him (but not the other) as well - wouldn't you think the other parents would offer to take sometimes?

    Jacket pots in for tea and a steamed pudding to use up soft apples, jam and eggs for pud.

    Another 15 minutes to finish wiping the sides in the kitchen before a list update.

    Oh AnWs mum - that was so sad and beautiful at the same time. I think it was lovely that the card was still from both of you and it obviously made your little one happy too. I echo completely what Lil_me wrote so perfectly.

    Right need loo roll to wipe my eyes now, blubbing & snotting everywhere now - not a pretty sight!

    Littles picked up, speedwalked to ballet & home. Currently sat watching Barbie Swan Lake :rolleyes: . Put BM on whilst out and now have apple braid rising and gonna try to make so iced cream buns with the same dough so hoping they turn out yum!

    Best crack on with the tea, and putting the ironing away:o , before I tackle the increased ironing pile!

    Oh bum, made it through the first post without blubbing, but this one really got me. No need to wash the kitchen floor now, is nicely doused! God bless you AnW'smum and god bless your babies too.

    Blimey I didn't mean to make people cry and thanks for your lovely thoughts lil_me. It's just like you say, Daddy is still here, not in the way that we want but he is part of our everyday lives and always will be.We did have a bit of a lump in the throat moment this morning when she opened her card which I put from us both (can't bear the thought of not putting his name on). But my little star looked skywards and said 'thank you Daddy' with a smile on her face.
