I think I'm very lucky too - my in laws live right down the street (its a good thing, trust me ) and my parents only 20 mins away... I can ring my MIL and if she's free (retired!) she comes over so I can get stuff done. Paperwork, cleaning, shopping, whatever it is, she loves having time with her granddaughter.

DH is also pretty good at dealing with DD when I need some time.

Kaz - I think its important that you get some time to yourself... the other girls have given you lots of good ideas and suggestions, time to implement some of them
