Nic - glad to hear Nixon is better. DH's are an amazing breed aren't they???? They have their own "special" way of doing things. Makes me wonder that if I was hit by a bus tomorrow, would DH even now where things are like the girls health care books, how to prepare food for Marley, what time they go to bed. It worries me to think about it (not that I am likely to get hit by a bus!).

Amanda - LOL sorry! I did mean Karen. I wondered how long it would take me to bugger someones name/post up!!! Grays was good - you are right about the baby and the age of the girls, pretty scary! They didn't even look old enough to have their periods!!!! Roast chicken must have been popular last night, Nickel had it too! Hope Kailens app goes well, how long do the grommets have to stay in?

Ali - I don't think I congratulated your MIL offer in a previous post - sorry! I did remember it when reading your current post. I am off with the fairies sometimes and forget things!!!! It is such a great offer for you and nice to have that security to know you don't have to move anywhere. Hope it all pans out with the changeover dates. Hope Ali is not too unwell - keep us posted how she is. Weather is a bit better, cooler at least but the house is still a bit stuffy.

Bath - don't know if you have my email but I haven't got a copy of the email yet.

Had swimming this morning then lunch with a friend. On the way home I went to pay Chelsea's fees for the fortnight and one of the carers came to see me and gave me a little note that one of the boys in her group, his mum died suddenly last Wed! I can't remember the child or his mum but how very sad for him. They haven't discussed it with the kids and said we could explain it to them if we wanted. I don't know what happened or if he had any siblings, but very sad to think he has to grow up without his mum. My house looks like a war zone at the moment, all our tiles have been pulled up ready for the new ones to be laid next week. My fridge is in the hallway too! Oh well, at least when we get back, it will all look great.
