Hi Julie, I'm here lol!!! It is very quiet today. With swimming, you need a good instructor that can not only teach the kids, but also someone who they like. I have been going to the same swim school for nearly 4 years and we have been very lucky to have had some brilliant teachers. I am glad you found the right one. LMAO about the tantrums (sorry!), they were a doozy!!!! Glad Oscar worked it out.

Bath - just found a kids site called Buckets and Spades that stock the shoes. They are so cute! Might have to see if they have any on ebay! I had never heard of them before, so thanks for the tip.

Tantrums - Chelsea was a such a little angel, she vary rarely threw tantrums and her naughty phase didn't really start until she was 3, then rather than tantrums, she just gave attitude! Still does now. Marley however, is very different. We haven't had any of the body slamming or throwing herself down (yet!) just screaming or grunting when something is taken off her. She gets very annoyed, and Chelsea is forever taking things of her and I am sure Chelsea loves the reaction she gets and now takes things off her on purpose just to annoy her!

Loving the rain today, my grass is looking greener already! Took Chelsea to kinder this morning then straight to do my shopping and post off some of my ebay things. Cooking corn beef tonight with mash, great food for a rainy day.
