Belinda, hope you have a better day today. It's hard when you have two grizzly tikes isn't it!

Emma, I know what you mean about the last minute, although luckily I've finished my shopping now. This year DH and I decided not to buy each other presents, instead to buy something together for the family. We have spent so much money on the kids (Jack's swing and slide set especially) that it made sense. So our joint present to each other is some outdoor lounges for around the pool. DH has 6 weeks leave so we should get a lot of use out of them.

Tom woke at midnight, 3 and 6, but it took an hour to get him back down at 3. He was really windy and got the hiccups. Jack is throwing a tanty now as I took his crayons away - I'll have to go and deal with that then clean the wall LOL!
