well my mum took the girls (all of them) last wednesday as i had a whinge to my little brothter who managed to get  mum to realise that until she actually spends time with the baby (who is almost2) she is never goingto bond with her... well she offered to have al of them, so i got the christmas shopping finished.... well that was great... foloowed by having all the kids at the weekend and then a min or car accident on monday (i backed into the neighbour's car taking the girls to swimminglessons...argh!!!) and burning myself as well on monday... i am so sore at the moment and i am upset that i am in so much pain, but i have been resting this afternoon... i also have my cleaner happening again... i was fighting tooth and nail to get that working a little better, and of course i have proved once again that sometimes to make things better you have to be prepared also to give it all up... (a testiment to my life so far) unfortunately this didnt work so well with the day care... never mind, only another 6 weeks till the new care arrangement takes place...hahahha
