Well, I've just about stopped feeling jealous of Oi's new pad. Love a bit of property porn too, but I perhaps shouldn't do it when I've just worked out our finances- we'll be fine, as long as we don't have a social life til he goes to school 
.
Seriously Oi, it's brilliant, and two-veranda type thingies as well (which may need some serious weatherproofing in Bolton)! I'm actually not too down on magnolia, I think it works well, although we've got various blues and reds throughout the house.
I loved hockey when I was younger scooby- we were area champions- and I'm always really impressed by people who kept it up. The injuries I used to get though, wow!
Would your DP go to the Doctor's do you think hawthers? Men are a nightmare to drag down there, especially for MH stuff (and it's one of those things that's not sexism but fact, and contributes to higher death rates sadly) but it sounds like he could really do with it. Or at the very least a couple of drinks and a sob on someone's shoulder, but don't know if that's more or less likely?
My DS is a big, big farter rice, and it never ceases to amaze. I don't know how often we've raced to get his nappy off owing to not only the sound, but the actual solid feel of something landing in his nappy, to be greeted by a clean bum.
It makes sharing a bed with him such a nourishing experience...
Msb, do Manchester, do Manchester! I lived in the Science Museum as a kid, and it rocks. And there's so much to do round there in general. And a fire pit is soooo cool.
A big thank-you to people on here- we have bought the Manhattan Skwish for DS, so can't wait!
On today's fun update, we woke at 5.30- DS went back, but I was kept up by the massive blocked duct at the top of lefty, a madly itchy ear, and the sudden knowledge I'd forgotten to take my pill yesterday....
...but it's not like we'll be DTD owing to the thrush!
