Just when you think everything is going well…. Maddy had two monumental meltdowns yesterday; they weren’t exactly unprovoked, but the strength of them surprised me. One was over a hurt foot which meant she screamed, sobbed, eyes rolled, muscles stopped working etc etc etc and the other was a problem with an icecream machine while […]

I could get converted to my iPod shuffle 😉 its so tiny and wee and cute 😀 So, girls now all want to have music on it and i don’t know where to start – i don’t mind doing it legally and paying, but where?

Car was fine and i didn’t crash either. Thanks to the assembly of technical support for checking the car out for me. And thanks for the great party and the fabulous company 🙂
