I've been without a computer of my own for ages now and it's just been impossible to keep up regularly, but DH is trying to arrange things so he can leave his laptop for me to use during the day. Hopefully this might mean I can post a bit

Lenora, sorry to hear about your MIL's crisis, hope things continue to improve. Kerri, you sound so busy with work crazy-ness I can't believe you get time for anything else! Honey, good work on getting those applications in. That is taking charge!

I need to take charge of something - getting DD on a couple of playgroup/nursery lists so in 6 months time she can start doing a morning a week. I can't believe she's this old already!
