No I look after my two small (2 and 4) monsters full time - though am looking at maybe doing some evening work. So my day is usually filled with talking to kids and slowly going mental!

I have a list as long as your arm of things to do! When you are here I will fill you in and point you in the right direction! The libraries here are really good as well and do lots for the kids and of course with it being summer it is a bit more bearable than being stuck inside all day :eek: which was a nightmare!
