Yup … got it covered
Days when it’s 2 o’clock & Jasper hasn’t slept yet. When I can’t find the nappy wraps & resort to a swim nappy - then forget about it & he’s soaked from armpits to toes in minutes and so is the bed. When not allowing Angel Delight for breakfast means she hates me FOREVER. When I have no clean clothes (that fit) & can’t find any underwear. When the wireless DOESN’T BLOODY WORK. When Claudie is knackered and cries because someone put a pig in a suitcase (Babe), because ALL her friends are in Level 4, because she keeps falling over. When each meal has involved chocolate & I curse the absence of alcohol (no I don’t wonder why I’ve put most of the weight I lost back on). When Jasper is teething. When the cats puke and I drop glasses and cut myself and we eat stale bread. When my clever, beautiful child who I love with all my heart *cleanchedteeth* strips every living thing out the garden to make muddy potions. When they both get through 3 changes of clothes & PJs & towels & blankets. When I promised to make pancakes but the baby WON’T STOP CRYING.
That’s when I feel like screaming but I haven’t so I must be making progress! 2 days without shouting despite massive provocation..
Apart from that we’ve done all the usual stuff (C read really well - I’m very pleased), I read a huge pile of FIAR books (including The Bee Tree, a great moral tale of the wonders of reading 
) planted cress, avocados stones & apple seeds. We did a plant search around the garden (maybe if she knows what the plants are she won’t be so eager to kill them) and C took a load of pictures. We didn’t get out (see no clean clothes) but cooked bread, pizza & masses of tomato sauce for lasagne.
I finished Flora over the weekend - just in time for the warm weather
I looked up Flora when you mentioned it last time. Love it! Need pics.
Sorry to hear the flip side of yesterdays post, but well done on not screaming.

On the plus side…… the Wireless should be working now but sods law says that it will stop working now that I have said it works.

Layla, you have to start watching Prison Break (send Simon round with his dangly thing) because I am going mad not having anyone to discuss the relative merits of Michael (left) or Lincoln with! It would be a humanitarian gesture.

I’ll be round with my dangly thing right away!
