drinks once a week sounds like a great idea Schulte. It's good when dhs finally accept that child care is hard.
having been in with the boys all week with no means of escape from this house as had to wait in for deliveries, it then got to much anticipated Friday night (normally homemade pizza and a nice bottle of red wine), and we did bugger all. Ds1 started by pouring bubble mixture all over the rolled out dough, then had to go and view a house at 7pm as it was the only time they could show us, so that mucked up bedtimes. ds2 was then up till we gave up trying to settle him and went to bed at 10pm after watching absolutely nothing on the telly . Both boys then up this morning at 6.15 so both me and dh are in foul moods.
today was meant to be cycling down the canal to a beer festival in a pub but typically we will probably both still be in moods, ruin the whole weekend and then it'll get to monday and the whole dull week will start again. we do it with holidays too.
anyway. Hope things brighten up for you Bronze - I did the same of staying away for a while, and I did feel happier after a while and want to post again, so I hope it's not too long till you are back.
zulu - i dont know a thing about smears but seems like you got some sensible advice on your thread.
puzzle - it was absolutely brilliant but quite scary too - it was definitely not something you could do with claustrophobia - I had to talk myself down into the tank after the practice bits, and all the way round but it was worth it. beautiful creatures.
