Summer Slatterns - Martha Stewart we are not!

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

I used your title Alice seeing as the rest of us were to slatternly to even think of anything!!!

[cikecaka]

How do you get through to a 2 yr old that she cannot walk over the floors when they are so wet! It is spilling rain, nearly torrential and I have the heat on and windows and doors opened to try and dry the floors. They are nearly like glass, they have been wshed that much

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

Ds2 OTOH - nursery rang me to say he was having really deep head nods this morning - not much i could do tbh, just told them to let him sleep as long as poss, so think he had about 3hrs, then had a late lunch. had more deep nods this evening so went to bed early. no sign of new drugs doing anything yet

Ongoing:

Aww Peppa - they do grow so quickly.

Plum - your DH is right, you could easily get paid to make castle cakes - sure you can transfer your skills to other designs too
Anything being wrong with our DCs is a worry, i just find that i'm continually worrying about ds2 at the mo, it's almost like there's a cloud following me around

Giraffes - that sounds bad. glad you are starting to recover. ds1 hasn't been anywhere near that so guess he just has a normal sniffle.
