Alice - good to see you hope all tests are ok.
DS2 is doing so well it's surreal & crazy & fab!
Lot's of babbling, laughing, etc.

Ali - thanks, will look for it, last time (years ago) i bought something similar and he stopped snoring without me ever using it! just the threat of spraying him in his sleep was enough

Good to see you Alice and glad the morning sickness isn't so bad now

Ali I am joking now but I do really want more babies so if I am still single (most likely will be, where on earth would I meet a man????) in a few years I would probably consider it for real

Wierd weather here, snow is falling and is melting the stuff on the ground so although it's snowing it is getting less not more.

Have watched 7 episodes of lost now (series1) and am not really into it. Do I persevere or find something else?

Clairey - I think it's really sensible to consider it actually. Of course you will meet someone lovely though in the last place you expect!
Do you watch Spooks? Much better than Lost IMHO

Alice - good to hear from you. Hope you are feeling more energetic soon.

Freakoid - If you are not hooked on Lost yet get out while you can. Unfortunately DH and I have watched every episode so we have to watch the next one as we have invested so much time and we want to know what the hell it all means.

I'm on my macbook! Yes I am!

I got this for my MA course a few years back, and when the PC bit the dust a few months ago, me old Dad donated his old laptop. Unfortunately the Macbook then developed a problem with the mousepad, so we still only had one between us. DH now has to get the keyboard on the other one fixed.

JKS - indeed I did not! DS ended up in with me for half the night - I'd booted DH for snoring - and he woke up at 7.30 as normal
However, I did do 20 mins of pilates while DS sat in our bed and watched Cbeebies with a cup of milk, so feeling relatively relaxed and awake

Good luck for DS2's assesment
