Nothing much happening in the Rotherham household today. Done some washing and cleaning, Matt is in his room and Abi out with friends so peace reigns.

I'm listening to music, Dr hook, James Morrison, Damien Rice and Kylie so far today; and playing a little online bingo.

Ami called and Oskar has gone from walking a few steps to running everywhere, it's so hard when they are so far away. We plan to go down at half term but that seems so long to wait.

Off work tomorrow, not a 4 day week though cos i am going to work Saturday to make up for it. Hospital appointment at 11am and dentist with Abi at 3.30. Lee is 39 tomorrow so we are off out for tea.

Anyhoo... rambling on...I'm off to win some money

A three-year-old boy was examining his testicles while taking a bath.

"Mom", he asked, "are these my brains?"

"Not yet," she replied.

Thanks to my sister in law Siw for the joke
