thanks guys

MP - i do love yoga & hadn't thought about going. doing that or even a walk by myself would be great! i think you're a super mum to be going through the same with your DS2 & working & looking after your DS1 as well! i don't know how you do it!

BR - thank you. the days are so rewarding with the laughter & amazing amount they learn in such a short time it's too easy to get caught up in the negative sometimes.

kelebek - i think a few hours to myself might be a good thing. i'm sure DP would be up for that. my parents could prob take DS for a few hours but he's a bit of a velcro baby & i feel a bit guilty cos my parents are in their 70's & my mum has bad arthritis so can't pick him up easily. i did leave him for an hour yesterday so he didn't have to be dragged round the supermarket!

i feel so silly having a whinge when things really aren't that bad, i just needed to share with people i knew would understand!
