Triplets - your story is hilarious!!
Charleymouse - you probably wont read this but you are going to the right place! Good luck with everything.
FG - if its any consolation, I took the whole tribe into town this morning. Even with my Mum with me we had an hour from hell, me pushing the buggy and holding DT1's hand. My Mum running after DT2 who refuses to hold your hand and wont walk next to you but just races off. We were going to get them new shoes. We went to Clarks where we managed to get just one pair for DT2 so then had to hike off to Russell and Bromley for a pair for DT1. DT2 shook all the rows of shoes whilst we were sorting the shoes for DT1 and knocked them all over. Great. Then we went to get passport photos done for them for their Australian passports at Max Spielmann where they ripped up one of the displays. Hooray!!
We finally got them home with a big sigh of relief. My best friend's husband came round with his little boy as my best friend is in hospital with their 2nd baby after having an infection after a CS. Well we decided to go for a walk to the local duck pond. Of course DT2 went running off, DT1 fell in lots of mud, we got some serious evils from a jogger who had to slow down to get past them (and she was fully made up and smelt of perfume, whats that all about?), then to the park where of course there were fights over the swings........then foolishly back home through the wood which was difficult with a Maclaren buggy and trying to stop them falling over tree roots.
Well I made it and am home now shattered.
I have admitted defeat and put Hairy Mclary on DVD for them. Thank god they are quiet and watching it!!
Is it time for a drink yet........?
