Well, we made progress with the flat pack today. I fit the rails inside the wardrobes and built a bedside cabinet. We've just the remaining cabinet and the bed to put up tomorrow.
Dear Lord, that's boring!
I watched an episode of Supernanny today that i'd plussed from the other night. It was quite sad really because the daughter in question was nine years old and she was being treated like a baby. Her mum did everything for her and it had turned the poor girl into a monster who tantrumed all the time. When they interviewed the mum it came out that she'd had a son previously who passed away when he was 23 months old. It looked like he had Down Syndrome from the pictures, so i am guessing it was something to do with that. It was really sad. It made me think firstly that it's wierd that i should see something to do with Down Syndrome the third day after the 31 for 21 campaign, and wonder if it does crop up in life more often, but i don't often notice. The next thing i though was that i really hope that loosing children doesn't make us more prone to spoil any that we are lucky enough to get to keep. I don't want to create a monster, but i can see that i would just be so eternally grateful that i have a child there at all, that it might end up having a negative effect on my parenting. I really, really hope not!
