Thanks Mel. I have thought of babywearing but just can't stand the thought of it. Probably my carrier's not the best (I have an ergo) but I can't afford anything else ATM. Even that was exxy. I hear ya re the whinging. It sometimes starts even before I'm out of bed. They're the really bad days. I was doing so well today until the **** rain. I was dealing with the kids issues without getting cranky. Then it all went downhill! Serves me right for doing 2 loads of washing last night when we don't have a dryer. Without a doubt it would rain. Anyway back to work for 3 days from tomorrow so we'll see how we go next weekend. FX for a good one.
