Oh Pixi I have no wise words for you, just sympathy and admiration. DP was away for a few days a couple of weeks ago and I found that hard, so no idea how you manage with it long term. I hope things start to get easier once you have found a house, your mum has come down and DS1 is at school. In the meantime, just sending some heartfelt ((((hugs)))).
Mars, hugs from me to FG as well please. Hope she is back here soon.
Momma, I have bought some of that pancake mix already, and had planned to give it a go tomorrow . Although I did manage to make some quite decent pancakes using gluten-free flour last year. DD1 has a class after school on Thursday and she's told me they're going to have pancakes, so I might try to make one for her to take with her then.
Chops, I'm sure DT2's hair will grow back quicker than you think. I cut DD1's fringe last night and it's definitely a bit crooked, but I wouldn't dare try to cut all her hair. She's growing it at the moment - girls always want long hair don't they? I was never allowed and used to spend ages with jumpers on my head tied back with elastic bands, pretending they were pony tails .
Had a lovely day with the girls yesterday at Willow Farm, near St Albans. If you haven't been, it's well worth a trip, although it is quite pricey (definitely take a picnic). DP was shopping for his wedding suit - he spent 5 hours in Selfridges .
Kat, congratulations on the arrival of Cameron and Kasey. Well done you on what sounds like a great birth .
LG&T, how's your poorly one? (Sorry can't remember which of your DS's is poorly, and can't scroll back far enough to check). Hope he's feeling a bit better and there are no signs of it in anyone else yet.
