Briefly...

My days:
-holding my mains adapter for laptop together with sellotape and rubber bands with it cutting out every hour or so
-getting a 'universal' adapter from Maplins less than 24 hrs after ordering it and getting my online life back!
(lost 2 or 3 days working time on that little saga so will be pushing it, over next week to get back on track)

F's days:
-robot-making with gears, little-pony roundabout designing
-making a colour chart that depicts the colours of the neighbours' cat, who visits - entirely her own idea, she went out and found a white flower, yellow leaf, black stick (fur colours), green leaves (eyes) and a raspberry (nose), all from our garden and stuck them onto a sheet of paper
-varnishing Disney Princess plaster moulds (this might have happened in previous days, but don't think I mentioned it)
-watching and singing along to Alice in Wonderland, her current favourite film
-dancing on dance mat and to dance DVD with me
-playing XBox, swinging, jumping around, drawing - all done lots every day
-looking at a new 'The Body' book and talking with us about digestive system, blood, bones and muscles
-eating iced gems
-making marble run castles
-taking pictures with her ruggedized kids' digital camera
-giving various combinations of dolls and ponies a party on cushions and in the garden

Work is a good chunky amount, can't complain but I will.
I can imagine you doing that with the mirrors, there's something fascinating about that world that doesn't exactly exist. I used to arrange the mirrored doors of our bathroom cabinet at an angle to see myself the real way round instead of the mirror way round.

That quote is almost word-for-word what ds1 said once :-)
