I think there's more but can't remember what...

@DeltaG would you be willing to adopt a 26 year old? I'm potty trained

Lolz

I'm obviously exaggerating here somewhat as I couldn't resist! DS has actually got the duplo playsets and some L'imagerie des bébés books, but the rest will have to wait!

DH would have him on skis this season if he could, but he is still too small at the moment. It's a shame as it has started well with a shitload of snow!! (and I can't take advantage of it as I'm 8 months pregnant). We live in Switzerland, so not far from various resorts.

I like the idea of doing a round the world cruise one day, à la Ferdinand Magellan (although hopefully making it back alive, unlike him). Not sure about taking the kids though
