Knew there was something else blogable with the day…
Aprilia has a "baby sister"! Goes by the name of Molly and was the centre of her world for most of the day. Yes, she’s a doll, yes, she’s one that has been hanging round for 2 years and yes I DID bave to pretend to BF the thing until Aprilia declared she was weaned sort of mid afternoon 
At that point she was also capable of speech (provided by me naturally) and was being taught her letters and numbers with the aid of a pair of fit-the-piece type jigsaws that I had been considering Freecycling.
At the end of the day it was declared that she "never realised how much fun a little sister could be" which did make me smile…. wonder if she realises yet what else goes with the deal (toddler trashing bedroom, right time waah-ing, tired mummy etc) Hmm, on second thoughts, I’ll not mention that to her, may put her off the deal
