I agree with VJJ that no internet access is a cover for, er, other activities 
18 wakings!!! I think Dolly may have set a thread record? 
I am impressed that you are still functioning after 18 wakings.
cupcake really pleased that your Ds is smiling again, you can start to relax once they start to be more like their usual happy self, nothing worse than seeing them unwell and unhappy. I loved your post. My DS is getting so big now and starts school next year, it really does go by so fast. I watched some video footage of him at 6 months last week and I couldn't stop crying 
The baby phase actually lasts for such a little time in relation to all the other phases.
Gracie hope your DD is feeling a bit better today, not good when you can't even get Calpol in to them 
Sorry, can't think of a name, you need VJJ the expert for that!
4ever This Christmas really will be special for you, it actually gets better as they get older too. Like you, DS is just soooooooo excited about the whole thing and has really got in to the preparations this year and is loving counting down with his advent calendar. I thought Rebecca's version of Amazing Grace was fantastic, no wonder it had you in tears with so much meaning behind it for you.
vjj I would love to knit again too, I was also taught by my Nanna when I was young and have long since forgotten! Will look forward to hearing about how Ajay manages scupper your plans and reach the tree anyway 
I have got a few things i keep thinking about ebaying, but have only ever bought and not sure if selling is worth the hassle?
Blue I hadn't noticed your DS was born so close to Christmas, when was he actually born? (Can't see the list at the mo)I bet that was such a special christmas and the best present you could hope for. Bless you for saying I sound wise, 'tis always easier said than done I am hoping I will be able to get some 'hands on action' with a baby again soon, seems like too long since DS was small. Hope your DH gets home too.....
Louey and BQ Hope you are both ok and everything has gone well with your scans
louey Hop you have had a shower, we didn't want to say but there was a definite whiff in the greenhouse Enjoy your night out.
Right well,just to keep you white coaters happy 
I am on countdown to CD1 which should be around weds/Thurs if I stick to my usual CL of 26days. I think I am going to attempt temping again, didn't go too well last time I tried, but I think I need to be less lazy more committed and as I couldn't ttc before I didn't have the motivation that I do now. I have also got the OPK's at the ready! I am excited, but also a bit nervous 
Going to watch the Coronation Street special now!
