Argh! I feel like I'm infecting the thread with cc! Even though I know, rationally, that Too you would never have tried it if you hadn't looked into it and made your own mind up. I still feel guilty however, when none of the No Brookers were doing cc before.
On saying that though, it's made a huge and I think positive difference to little A's sleeping so far. So I sincerely hope it works out for Too as well! Sounds like you've made a fantastic start! I know what you mean about wanting to go in just so they know you're nearby, but I've also found Hawthers' point to be true, that sometimes you disturb them more by going in. It's such a hard line to tread!
Here I've been very naughty 
I'm just hopeless at routines! My life will never fit neatly into any sort of daily routine. When I said earlier that I wanted to do bedtime for DD at 7pm I'd forgotten that we had guests coming round for dinner, with their 16 month old DD. I know the two babies are fascinated with each other and I really wanted little A to be able to stay up and have dinner with us all. So I let her have a 20 min nap at half 6, and then decided to let her stay up until she showed the first hint of tiredness.
Little A LOVES visitors, so she was up and smiley and chirpy for hours. She had lots of dinner, and was still bright and alert afterwards (not in an overtired way.) She wasn't even flagging by 10pm when I decided that I really was pushing it too far. I did a speedy bedtime routine, and put her down at 10.30. She protested (a.k.a yelled at me) as I left the room, and by the time I'd walked to the sitting room and switched on the monitor she was asleep 
No crying whatsoever! She's still asleep now.
Too do let me know how you get on tonight! Sending lots of hope and positive thoughts your way! It's so stressful to listen to your baby cry and not go straight to them, even for a minute, but hopefully in the end we'll be reducing the amount of time they spend crying compared to before!
Dream you'll know when to stop the PU/PD, if indeed there is ever a time when you should. You've fought so hard to keep the boys ebf, and you've achieved so much that no other mother could do, that it would be impossible for anyone else to judge how much PU/PD you can handle before it's not worth continuing. I do believe that it will work at some point, but I don't know when that point is, so it's your judgement that will tell you if you can get there. I think PU/PD vs cc is a bit like having a really long slow gradual labour vs a viciously super fast labour. Ultimately both labours hurt, but the slow one is more of an endurance test whilst the fast one is more about whether you can cope with incredibly strong pain. Hopes everyone will ignore the fact that I know nothing about any kind of labour. Hang in there Dream! Don't go for cc unless you're really sure, because it's gut-wrenching and you need to have no other options to run to when the going gets tough!
The panto sounds amazing Scarlet! I do hope your LOs feel better soon though!
Jaggy so sorry to hear you're catching the boys' cold! No brooking for good health to return to the entire Jaggy household asap!
I hope the contraception problems for Jaggy and Dream can be resolved asap. Particularly hoping that Dream won't feel down for long :(
