Good morning all. Most importantly... Lupins! Crikey that's quite a queue jump. Hope all is okay and that she's back on here creating the May 07 postnatal thread before May's even here. No joining April though, you belong to us woman. I don't want anybody else thinking about queue jumping. Actually, anybody heard from Charley?
Very quick update on the DH situation. After much discussion last night he's decided to hang on until after paternity leave before resigning- shouldn't be too long and we've got a week off between now and then and the birth of Mathilda The Gargantuan 15lb Baby to occupy our minds. Then if he works a month's notice during June/July he can claim all of his unpaid holiday allowance and we probably have enough savings to tide us over until September if he can't find another job. I'm sure he can, he's got a degree, lots of experience and extra qualifications and he's a qualified personal trainer. In fact I might hire him out to all the postnatal groups.
Sorry to hear people are still suffering. Personally wasn't ready for what having an engaged baby feels like. The pressure is awful at times, I feel like I constantly need to wee but can't seem to go more than a thimble full and those crotch zingers are not at all pleasant. Potentially got another 8 weeks of this if I make 42 weeks and by that time Mathilda will be 23lb, I'll have lost the use of my limbs and my bump will be etched on a map of Norfolk by the Mountaineering Associationg with 'Hazardous Climb' scrawled next to it.
Next week I'm in London Sunday-Thursday so we could rearrange. We have no definite plans other than for Sunday, I'd ruled out Monday as everywhere will be heaving for the Bank Holiday. Tuesday-Thursday I'll be in Londinium, occupied in some fashion so anybody wanting to meet for a frappacappalattechino just let me know. TYG I really will email you I promise. It's on my list after dream about Daniel Craig and snaffle gingerbread.
Finally, Daniel Craig. Now, usually I'm not one for drooling over famous men (except for Damian Lewis, I could cry at how beautiful Damian Lewis is, those eyes, that hair...er what am I saying?) but Daniel Craig as Bond? Saw it in the cinema twice and oh my. Lovely man, very, very lovely man.
