are generally much easier on everyone, because you're much less uptight and you've realised that some things are just unrealistic, like clean clothes and food on the table at mealtimes!! That said, DS was anything but an easy baby, but they should be easier if they don't have a personality disorder that stops them from sleeping for 3yrs like DS.

I'm trying to get a few things done that have been on hold for a while. My father's just informed that I can expect to source everything for our revamped ensuite shower, not just hand over cash and expect it to magically appear (with lots of dust, muck and noise of course). That's a pain, but the January sale I need is lasting till the end of January so I didn't have to spend a lot of money today and find I'd made loads of mistakes. The plumber's been and made some notes for his estimate. He called me yesterday so I have to get back to him.

Kerri.
