mummy2jake I don't respond much, hence don't make much. I don't respond to many discussions because if I don't have something worthwhile i don't see the point. I would prefer to be paid for thoughtful honest opinions, but thats just me :)

mummy2jake At the very most I have 2 cups of coffee, but its usually just the one. If I'm having a bad day with my kids-long night with them I might have some coke also just to try & keep me going. It doesn't work because sleep is the only thing to fix it!
