Back home safely, no speeding tickets this time for big bad DH 
and dd all tucked up in her own bed. :) And I now have a proper laptop to catch up on 
Vag welcome to your new year AF... glad things have resolved themselves for you. the pics of your boys on FB are so gorgeous but if you're not ready for a third just yet, this is the best outcome.
sybs lovey sounds like a tough situation, it is very easy to focus on the bad things you're right, counselling has done great things for a lot of us so if DH is up for it then definitely worth a try. I did smile at 'mis-sold' a DH... :)
avo v impressed with your resolutions, hope you're not taking on too much with them (or is it just me who's rubbish?!) It's virtually impossible for me to do anything on the laptop with dd in the room, it's like you said a while back with the whole "Nina puter" situation - though she does now have a Peppa Pig mini computer which hopefully will distract educate her in the ways of computering. Sorry to hear about the rotten night, hope your head feels better by now!
MoM glad to hear you a bit cheerier, pink fizz makes any situation better! Did you get to see the fireworks? Also agree re more MNing, am hoping that once new one arrives and dd is at nursery I can return to the good old days of long feeds and catchups.
Spot - newborn hell is terrible BUT we do at least now know that there is an end in sight, does this help at all? Do insist that your MW checks for tongue tie after last time. Hope the insistence on sleeping on you can be made into lots of lovely snuggly cuddles and that you get some sleep... [zzzzzz]
Rubes what an evil receptionist 
that's rubbish and really not taking any account of the fact that you actually need to see a doc. Grr on your behalf. Is it urgent enough to call teh out of hours service?
ZJ hurrah for your boss, does this mean celebrations all round at work? 
Lady am very glad to hear you got the car working at last! Is there a date for the move at all or still up in the air and dependent on lots of work being finished?
Summer you lightweight!
well our quiet start to the new year was utterly buggered up by some horrendous people staying in the flat above us... We were in the mews-y bit of a glasgow apartment building, and there hadn't been anyone else in that part of the building for the rest of the week. They put the music on at about 7.30 (through DD's bedtime...) then went out at about 11. We just about saw in the new year (and managed to start off one of my resolutions ) then lights out at about 12.30. Come 1.30 they got back from the big street party with what sounded like 25 mates, proceeded to put music on v loud and clatter about in noisy shoes on a squeaky floor. After 1.5 hours DH went out to ask them to STFU, bloke was stood outside having a fag and said oooh sorry he'd get them to quiet down. Come 4am still v noisy so I went up in my PJs and the 7 of them (!! soooo loud for such a few people) mostly said Oh dear sorry we didn't realise there was anyone in (never mind the rest of the building...) and will turn down immediately. Did this for approx 5 mins then noise levels back up... and then at 5am the girl who's room it seemed to be decided that she wanted to chuck everyone out, cue a huge effing and blinding argument outside our window for 15 mins. Man they were classy chicks...! Alas dd didn't wake up early and start yelling, but we did turn up radio 3 very loud [pathetically passive agressive response]
So, the Glasgow situation... well it's where DH grew up, his parents and brother still live there and sister is in Edinburgh. Older brother lives in the states so DH takes the flak as the one who thought Scotland wasn't good enough for him . He said that over the last year or two when we've gone up to visit, he's really missed the place - hills, countryside etc, all we've got here in that way are the depressing fens. Plus while C is a lovely place, it's neither one thing not another, I grew up in a village of 1500 people and miss the ability to walk to a woodland or some meadows, he grew up in the big city and misses all the facilities that can offer.
So in favour of moving up there - DDs would have lots of family up there (new cousin, GPs to babysit); beautiful countryside; DH's job is very transferable; houses much cheaper so for the price of our 2.5 bed terrace here we could get a 4 bed semi, the cost of a squishy little 4 bedder here would get us a massive villa with huge garden up there; good schools; lots of cultural activities that we'd have to go to London to get at the moment and thus never do; I don't think DH would mention this openly but his parents are getting on a bit so he'd like to be closer to them.
Downsides; My job is very not transferable so would need to look to a new field probably and would almost certainly have a few years out of the market (not necessarily a bad thing); my dad's down here and while he's not that keen on babysitting owing to physical problems, he and DD do have a lovely bond; a lot of our very good friends are here and we'd be leaving dd's Godparents behind; I'm just not sure about the big city thing, Glasgow does have a bit of a reputation for being pretty sectarian and has v awful health issues in a lot of parts; much as I love them, I'm not sure I really want MIL having that much more influence in DD's life (she used to hit DH as a kid and has mild mental health issues that make her very hard to deal with).
So there you have it! There are a couple of friends who are looking for new jobs at the moment and if they move away from C, there's very little reason for us to stay here, so it partly relies on them - also if BIL gets a consultant post somewhere else. So we'll just see really, but it is definitely up in the air in a more serious way than before.
Blimey. Went on a bit there. It's v good to get this out to you all, especially people who have uprooted themselves to different parts of the country/world. Thanks for listening m'loves!
