Zoo tycon came with my old computer never actually looked at it until I set the old computer up in dd1s room
I am addicted, you have to build your own zoo, and manage it, the kids love it,

I'm making myself feel better by saying its highly educational, learning about all the animals and where they are from etc

anyway night night
Back to normal list tomorrow

Morning slatterns

Comewhine I've just seen your other post - what a nightmare for you

DH and I had a terrible PFB moment yesterday. DS somehow managed to launch himself into the door frame while he was in his bouncer and really cracked his head. Huuuge lump came up and he was screaming so we trotted off to A&E. By the time we go seen he was playing on the bed in the cubicle with his donkey and flirting with all the nurses (he is already a ladies man at 7 months old!!). Clearly they all thought we had overeacted!

Today
Up and dressed
Wiifit
Shower
Unload shopping when it arrives
Lunch x 3 (I have a poorly DH here today)
2 loads of washing plus nappies
Dust upstairs
Hoover living room

I will add more later I think!
