Everyone has mentioned THINGS which are great...but the most important thing I could have done with more of is help. We all think we can, or SHOULD, do it all, or die trying. WRONG!!! When visitors come over, get THEM to make the coffee. Particularly good friends can put a load of washing on, or fold clothes. We have playgroup here, once a week for 2 hours, and it was my lifeline, although I had to try 3 different groups before I found a great one. 16 years later, 6 of us still meet for coffee every couple of weeks. You get to talk over what works, what doesn't...food issues, discipline probs, bed wetting...I used to joke that playgroup wasn't really for the kids, it was for us Mums!!! I was only half-joking. Best of luck,

Cheers,
Pauline
