oh she is so so lovely. dd3 went and sat on her lap straight away for cuddles, the other two like her and were calling her into the garden. i was able to cook dinner in peace and get a bit of laundry done. and when i was bathing tyhe kids she washed up and swept the floor for me!

why do i feel so guilty though?

Because even this morning you were frightened she was going to be a nosey old busybody who was going to stick her nose in where it wasn't wanted.

We felt similarly when faced with 'intrusions' round a very ill relative.

It's great that she is popular with your family.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
