Anna I think you do a remarkable job with being so isolated and with two young kids. I totally take my hat off to you, because it is difficult with two young ones, let alone being pregnant as well!!!!

I so wish you were closer to me, I don't have a lot of friends either - mostly because people let me down too much, or are far too obsessed about their own lives - and really don't give two hoots about anyone else

I'm sorry that your mother isn't very supportive - I would share mine if I could !!!

And yelling twice today before midday - thats AMAZING.. some days I yell at DS 10 seconds after he gets out of bed.. its a toddler thing - to push our buttons.

And whoever said tying them to the clothesline was a bad thing?
