    had a great day, trying to do a bit of catch up of reading posts while kids eat tea.

    all - meant to say in my returning post the other night that I have missed you all and have often wondered how you are all doing.
    Also have realised thanling everyone which I used to do to help keep my place is taking me too long so apologies noone will ever be thanked by me again LOL

    pigpen - I can't believ you are STILL listing tons of stuff on ebay, your house must be empty by now surely :confused:

    right better go check progress of tea-eating and get LO up for hers.....

    Jill.. far from empty.. it is overflowing.. I have 81 things listed at the moment!! Most of the big stuff has been shifted so it is mainly clothing I have left which never goes for a decent amount... £11 in bids so far though.. so another 6 things going..

    Pigpen, one of the things we were told to 'expect' was that he would have no use of his right hand at all... then limited use but 'cutlery would be a problem', so we are very proud! :D then again, we were told not to expect him to walk... so he has really given them the finger! These are the times I'm glad I gave up work to care for him full time. Past two years of hard work have really paid off. *sniff*

    Ok, dinner time... chips and burnt stuff tonight, I have a sinus infection on top of hayfever so I don't care what it is, I wont taste it anyway and kids probably won't eat it anyway.

    Road tax and M&S school uniforms while I'm waiting.
