Prof When DH got me my fingure print charms - he had to use an air drying clay to imprint their finger.

Sag I have eaten too

Boys are being monsters
Mum has done some ironing, but she is in a bad mood too, so am droping her home after 1pm

I dont think the fact that it is rainy and windy helps at all

laura hope you get your list done
starbear you're on a roll!
swan lol at a gherkin shop!
everyone hi

DS had a meltdown this morning as I forgot his shoes for nursery - he had wellies on. considering we live 30 seconds walk away, it was very unnecessary! And annoying, and I don't think I dealt with it too well, either!
On the up side, we have a dishwasher after 18 months without one - hurrah!

Done
waited in for dishwasher
washed up
made smartie cookies with dd
played with dd
made lunch

Is that really it? better get cracking really.
DD and DS being monsters too. Don't think they are too well, actually.
Better BBL!
