. Lovely news!
evitas - fab news for you too. I hope you are enjoying a well earned rest right now?
How did today go, Shroomer? It sounded very encouraging.
Baby safety helmets? Yep, one needed here too. DD just delights in bouncing on beds. The other day - my back was turned - she bounced right off my bed and her head caught the corner of the bedside table. The shrieks were instant and I was expecting a lot of blood. Nothing. Nada. Lucky girl. And lucky Mummy too, I guess.
Kids in the loo with me? Yup. If I dare to shut the door, I can barely count to 5 before the handle starts turning. And if I have locked the door..... Well! The plaintive, hurt Mummeee (DS) almost makes me forget that once-upon-a-time I'd only have countenanced being accompanied to the loo when with a gang of girlfriends on a night out after an ill-advised quantity of alcohol. How times change!
Oh, and mooncups. Yes. I want one of these. When my period finally returns. Either I am menopausal or a certain someone is getting far more milk than an 18 mother ought reasonably expect to have. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that she still hasn't slept through.
Am feeling quite a lot better now, thanks Dalrymps and Walnut. DH stepped up to the plate with the childcare although did get a 
from me when he commented on Sunday evening that he didn't feel that he'd really had a weekend. I suspect it was something to do with getting to do considerably less exercise than he'd normally have squeezed in. I stopped short of initiating a discussion about his amount of free time vs my amount of free time. Saved it for Monday night instead..... Didn't go down too well. Guess it's a bit akin to the whole competitive tiredness thing.
Walnut - how cool that you're also writing a book. I wonder if it says anything about lawyers and our lifestyles that so many of us dream of doing something so different (two of the Partners in my department owned up to similar dreams when I resigned). On the subject of writing courses, though, I have heard good things about the OU distance learning courses and some very good things about the Arvon Foundation residential courses. Might be tricky, though, if you're not UK based.
Right, my bed is calling. Night night all.
