Hello!
I know, I am so rubbish, abandoning you all for so long! Not much excuse except that time seems to be flying by at the moment, months are galloping past, I cannot believe it's nearly May!! 
Anyway, this is a rare moment in the Whispers household as both children are asleep, at the same time! 
So thought I would take the opportunity to come on here while I'm on my laptop and write a big long post, as I normally come onto mn on my ipod, but writing long messages is a bit of a PITA.
Things are ok here, but very very hectic, I don't feel like I have a second to myself, especially since Rosa learnt to crawl and pull herself up. It's driving me crazy at the moment as she can get up but her method of getting down is just to let go and hope for the best as she goes crashing to the floor 
Noah is great, although is a master at attention seeking behaviour, he is often found throwing things or something else which we have asked him not to do, it's very tiring! Also, when we ask him to do something that he doesn't want to do, he says 'No thanks!' as if saying it in a polite way will get him off the hook :o I guess I should be grateful that he doesn't have tantrums though!
I think I could possibly manage an afternoon in York! I think it's about 2 hours from me which is just about doable :)
Hope everyone's ok, glad to hear about your dad, Ethelred and sorry to hear about the pesky AFs, I have really got my fingers crossed for you both for this month!
Will hopefully drop into this thread more now that it is back on my threads I'm on list!
