Kids 

Nakita knows that if she has a day off she isnt aloud out of bed - she has a tv & dvd in her room.  If you dont enforce it she will be getting out of her bed & start opening her craft boxes or beading containers - how can a sick kid make that much mess?

Clayton when he is sick is happy to lay on the lounge with a blanket & watch dvd after dvd - last year we got him all 5 seasons of Ben10 plus the movie that was out then. It was expensive but has saved my sanity twice this year when he has been unwell.

Great work Shammy! I think you were unchallenged this week! I will do a new inspired lasagne next week!

Nice one Shammy, that looks delish 

As Yammy indicated  -

Hi MrsM, good luck with your new career, hope you find something suitable 


I'm going to have a go at this one, slight changes will have to be made as I can't afford $20 for that much creme fraiche!
