Back again!
madness I love your thinking on lucky 2013. Was it gin who said her wedding anniversary was on the 13th? I love the sound of friends with a London penthouse, especially ones who like to entertain there!
art I am sorry that the nausea has begun, but it's for a good reason - still, am sure it isn't much fun. Eating everything in sight sounds like a plan, you can follow buzzy's toddler-chasing work out plan after the little one arrives!
rabbit the swanky hotel sounds fab! I love sleeping in posh hotel rooms, I love the sheets and the squishy pillows and the way that you can make the room pitch black to sleep in.
lemon homemade boozy mince pies sound divine.
gin at the toothbrush, yikes! I bet he is feeling rough today!
joy I too have been thinking more about adoption recently. I chatted for a long time last weekend with the couple I mentioned once here before - they used this agency in Texas and said it was amazing. They also said it was really expensive, although 'less than a year's private school in DC' but apparently the money goes in part to pay for counselling for the often very young birth mothers for the rest of their lives. Their little girl was so unbelievably cute. She is four months and was sleeping soundly in my friend's arms, while wearing a big pink bow headband and tiny frilly socks. Just gorgeous. My friends said they would recommend adoption over their multiple rounds of IVF. I think they did four rounds before deciding to adopt. It is a huge, huge decision though.
sar and euro hoping AF hasn't arrived yet for you both. Paw squeezes if it has.
It's my very boozy office party tonight and in fact I'm leaving work imminently for a smaller work Christmas lunch, hooray. I'll be popping back in tomorrow and then will be here on and off (I hope) over Christmas and New Year. I'm going to be in Scotland with my family and the internet connection can be spotty there. Will be looking forward to returning, 2013 glitter glasses on, tail fanned out in a big carnival style display, in the New Year. This has to be a better year for us all!
