Canada sounds awesome - for a holiday, with skiing and hot chocolates. Not so much if my DH was going and I got to stay home being mum......

MD - Those swimmers sound hilarious! Not liking the sound of another posting and really not a fan of a trip over the school holidays! And my sleeping has improved - this morning I woke at 7:20!! DH had been gone for a while and DD was just sitting at the table colouring in. Awesome. Now just need the cold that has been here a FORTNIGHT to go. Ridiculous. Haven't been able to exercise due to Achilles issues though, so think the weight is creeping up again (damn those chocolate hot cross buns)
