I like mmmm's suggestion of making an appointment to relax each day DSM, you should try that!
That's marvellous news air, for you and for your DS.
I can't believe you've not used Skype before Oi. It's been a lifesaver for me keeping in touch with family who are so far away. The quality's not perfect, but it's pretty decent and will only get better. I love it- what did you think?
I'm sorry you didn't have a great time jiggle, and as plu says you'll at least have more opportunities to do things outside in the good weather. There's nothing wrong with putting DCs in front of the TV sometimes- it's what it's there for, and when you've got two to deal with TV is a necessity. You obviously do do lots of things with them, so don't feel bad about a bit of CBeebies or whatever.
That looks like a pretty good shopping list LMF, literally something for everyone! Hope you enjoyed spending it, and you certainly deserved a unexpected windfall- Bob is smiling on you

We've had a slightly trying day. After all the fun and games earlier, we've been pretty productive, getting down to the shops but especially in the garden. I've potted up, top dressed, fed and unwrapped loads of my pots in the garden, so a very good start.
However, my nap didn't deserve the name- some bloody cold calling arses may their bits drop off one called twice whilst we were trying to sleep, which woke us up and made DS cry (he's suddenly taken against the phone ringtone, Bob knows why) and then just put the kibosh on the whole thing.
Grrrrrr.
And the white noise box that we use to settle DS has just given up the ghost.
Double grrrrrr.
Settling DS was doable, but required a lot of jiggling which hurt my back, and patience, which I don't have!!
