Shell - glad to hear that your nephew is ok. at you tipping beer over DH's head.. reminds me of when I was younger and my mum threatened to tip a bucket of water over me to get me out of bed. I still remember the sound of her filling that bucket!

Holly - OMG - those photos were pretty exie.

Pinny - I hear you on the clutter front.. I'm starting to hate clutter. I went mental in the kitchen this morning cleaning it up.

Thanks for the words of support. I did feel better after sharing the crap. Went for a walk today, the actual temperature was 1.7 which was freezing but I needed to get out of the house. Alex was rugged up, with layer upon layer.
