Was struggling to think what you meant by a 'pottery' week - thought it was some new arts and craft thing & you therefore needed some help with childcare !

[missmoopy]

I think she means pottering! A fine passtime, and one I am master off.

[ineedapoo]

sorry do mean pottering DB not happy

[missmoopy]

Ah well, ineedapoo, stuff him! You need time to relax, and your family should respect that. Don't feel guilty! Enjoy pottering.
