Hi
Ashermans is different for every women, mine is the painful kind.
My Mum is good also, just to stir her I would tell her if I did fall preg at her place I would make a "made at Nana's T shirt"

I love being a at home mum most of the time. It is a lifestyle choice, I give up all the bells and whistles to be a at home mum and I am a big bargin hunter. We have a roof over our head, clothes on our backs and well fed. Plus lots of love.

I know some one who went back to work 4 weeks after the birth and now she regrets it as her kids have a better rel with the old babysitter than their own mum. Which is sad. But the kids got everything (and I mean everything) and had all the lessons after school.

It is getting warm and painting would make you feel the heat. My DH wants to do that next year inside and out but I'm not sure yet.

Cheers
Chris
