hey ladies, the milking lurker is back with two free hands at last!
Ninja, I am so angry on your behalf, and think that you should not have to stress about keeping a roof under your children's heads. The fact that -d-h is pressurising you about it is beyond unreasonable.
All well here, although I am kept very very busy with my two. I laughed and could relate very much to fanny's grapes thread. I usually just give DS one of those ella's smoothie things (although he's far too old for it!) and scan it at the end. It makes for a stress free, and occasionally almost enjoyable shopping experience.
Ines is a doll. She is a contented and smily child and she hardly ever cries... BUT... she is still a wind-trap and, after a very decent phase of one or two wakes per night, she is back to her evil non sleeping ways, which means I am back in the zombie underworld.
I LOVE the idea of a september 2008 meet up! Who can be tempted down to London? Go on, you know you want to! we can go around in an open top double decker, or meet in hyde park and the LOs will love it.

You all enjoying the sunshine? I have been doing lots of gardening with Ines looking at me from her bouncy chair. I invested in some turf and (like Carrie) have been lovingly watering it and shearing it. I have planted lots of herbs, and camellias and azaleas and stuff whose name I don't even know, and everything seems to be growing like mad in this green house weather. CArrie, any advice regarding turf lawns? Have you mown yours yet?
Diego has developed a crush on an older boy who lives in our street. All the kids come out to play outside (it's a close, so fairly safe) and he just follows him like a duckling. Is this normal?
MrsA how are you feeling?
