Well hello , that?s the husband at work and the baby in bed, everyone fed who has to be, and so I am finally sitting down, attempting to catch up here. Apologies for silence ? I?ve been having a bit of a low, not helped by my body being pretty much back to the way it was when I was signed off work during pregnancy. And I have to go back to work properly in less than a fortnight 
Catch up ? sorry if I miss anyone. I am trying!
boxy sorry about the shitty day you had recently ? hope all is smoothing itself out and you are having a great break.
alps Glad your lad enjoyed his haggis! And deffo take up hotel offer.
silv Metanium is the shiz. I?m always amazed at how quickly it works. (I now need to find something for Squeaker?s legs ? all rough spots from crawling and climbing.) Glad you and reggie managed a get-together.
cass If you're in the spa changing room, get a move on and come and join us! We want all the details during a good Jacuzzi soak. Lovely piccie of your little one ? massive congratulations and always nice to welcome another ESH girl to even up the numbers. Can we have more info over here or in the knitting club? Hope you are healing well. x
honey How are you? Long time no hear from you.
cossie I didn?t realise you were bilingual. Will Artie be too? 
Well done on ginger baybee. I have lost that contest . She?s just a dull blonde at the mo, but hair is growing rapidly and looking very frizzy curly
cunty Hope you had a lovely bday. Is the boy better now? How are you enjoying your Wednesdays off? Only asking cause I join that club soon.
fanny Bah to the droid. As pol said ? was typical seeing as we?d only just been talking about it a couple of days before. If it helps, I was in the same situation at same time (of course, not my first since birth). I have managed to escape event near ILs weekend, so no longer plan to come a knocking at your door to keep my sanity. Not that I was actually going to stalk you, of course
muse Hope Scotland break is lovely ? will give Bob a chance to pick up the accent 
Did you ever get any final answers from the hospital? Sounds like a horrible experience, but glad BobKate seemed well enough in herself throughout.
kate - sorry to hear about toddler meltdown and PND suggestion. Have you had your appointment yet? It does just sound like you have a lot to cope with. But as a few of us know, PND can be straightened up reasonably quickly.
Toddler sympathies to okes too. I?m rapidly going off the idea of having a toddler. Can I not send her away for a few years? She?s crazy enough as it is. Currently practising her Exorcist voice.
Right, this is starting to look like a post from a ?cuddle everyone? babydust thread, so a quick update from me and I?ll bugger off.
My little Gremlin has had her first shot at nursery. Was only for an hour and all the other babies were asleep so she ended up outside with the older kids. So hardly a trial of actual nursery. Going the same time this week, so expect more of the same, but we have a meeting with the owner while she?s in there. I think I should book her in for some half days before she does full ones. I don?t want to pay for extra days, but also don?t want her first full day to be one when SFF and I are both at work.
Hope all is still go for alps meets next week. Am well 
of the big Lahndan meet. I even googled how long it would take to drive down, but at more than three hours each way, it just can?t happen. Boo. I had such a good time with fanny and poo the other weekend, and meeting iggy has always been lovely, that I love the idea of meeting for ESHs. But I?m still being a tart on the local ?mum dating? scene too.
