Well more on the clothes shopping front - we were out last night and I stumbled across a shop that purportedly sells larger sizes, so I go in there, pick a whole heap out in their largest size (which *should* be a little too big on me) ...and they we all lovely, and fit beautifully...EXCEPT across the boosies which were strangled to within an inch of their life. So I'm standing there in the change room thinking pretty ****ing ironic when I'll be having an unwanted unrequested radical boob reduction in a month. Arte I'm not like you, I don't want them to make me look fabulous, I just want to clothe my nakedness without looking like a overstuffed grandmotherly turkey. It's not a lot to ask.....!!!!! Did I mention I go through this *every summer* and it IS one of the main reasons it is my least favorite season of the year!

Arte - yeah hehe figured you already had them planted...also figured you were at a disadvantage with the soil temp...have they germinated yet? You might need to hothouse them under a milk or softdrink bottle for a bit (oops giving away my trade secrets - sssssssh). YAY for camping, sounds like you will have an excellent time.

MM - hope you had a lovely time with DH last night . Re the nappy rash, I have discovered the ultimate pharmacy cream, it's canesten & sigmacort mixed together in the one tube - called hydrozole, you can buy it over the counter.

Clare, so sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. You know I"m already feeling the pain. In fact when I first found out I was so distressed I couldn't even speak of it. At least it sounds like L will get a run in Sprout for a little while longer.

Well I"m off to the Craft and Quilt show, who knows it might inspire me to finish sorting the spare room so there is actually room to get my sewing machine out. It's DD1's sports day today, I ****Loathe**** sports days, so DH is doing the parently duties there. I did my bit providing green tshirts and crepe paper pompoms laced with tinsel.
