who is this writer? Come on someone, I have hardly been around all week, but I am sure someone knows!

Wonder if a certain group of lawyers out there are reading it - or their partners. Do wonder if some of those lawyers' partners are now mumsnetters... and have now got addicted to the site - hope so!
