ok Jelley been stuck in bed since 9:15 but I'm sorting out bank accounts....does that count as rest?

btw isaidno are you the big bad one?

Sacha, mine are covered in slobbery kisses usually where dd "admires" herself in them !

Damewashalot .. i hope you are busy cleaning !!!

Right i really am going to get off this computer and do something

Yaddah wanders off trying to kick herself, and stains muscle in process....

stains ? Stains ?

strains

Oh

God

Grouchyoscar, you are resting your body and putting your mind to rest....
Yaddah - ah! ds is too young to do that!
Damewashalot - kick! it is going to be such a nice week that you will enjoy it more if you know you put your house in order at the beginning of the week - plus hanging out washing is quite a nice chore when it's sunny (even if ds has to be in a sling as he cries as soon as he is put down)
