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?
