HM you sound like you've had a great time...wish I'd had your day instead of mine!
Mars - yes I heard, was all set to come on here and be all upset that you'd been so close and not popped round. We went to visit this afternoon but the baby slept the whole time we were there so I didn't get to have a cuddle. But C seemed v. well and v. chuffed with how the feeding's going. My girls were very sweet with the baby, and kept going over to the moses basket and stroking her face very gently and saying 'aaah baby leeping'.
I'm feeling really low for some reason. I think it's this crappy weather. And I had a horrid row with my mum yesterday so I'm not speaking to her. And although I know I'm in the right, I hate not speaking to her, but am determined that this time I will wait for an apology and not back down first...although I'm sure I will in the end.
FG my 3 tend to play quite nicely most of the time, but that's probably not much use to you, given that they're all younger than yours. They definitely have their moments, but I'm definitely finding now that I'm reaping the benefits of having such a small age gap rather than the hell of the first 18 months or so. I don't have any particular pearls of wisdom I'm afraid though. The behaviour is definitely deteriorating in this horrid weather where it's hard to get out of the house except to Sainsburys, and I am very much looking forward to the start of the new term .
