I went with Gary's suggestion, as it was quite awesome and indeed factual!

WAHEEEEEEEY! aethel that's fabulous news! I'm so pleased for you and the family. I think this is the time for that meal you had when you combined every evil foodstuff known to humankind...like tikka chowmein fajitas or something, knocked back with said vino!
I'm really hoping for the dry ears and good diction...and would you believe the poor kid's got an eye infection now too, so is leaking from everywhere- kid lives off anti-biotics, I tells ya, and it's not great. But what can you do when he wakes up with his eye closed because it's so puffed up?
Lovely afternoon here- work totally hectic but then DP and DS came in and we bimbled off. Went crazy and bought new onesies for DS, couple of comics for for DP, and new lunch tin for me from Paperchase. Dinner at Pizza Express and home- DS has loved the train journeys, barely seen him so excited

Raaboonah The woman who lives next door to me is a childminder who just does a before and after school club, and also looks after those children during school holidays. Is that something you could look into for DS1? I've only ever used nurseries for my two, so I can't compare and contrast with nannies, but I have no complaints about nursery at all.
We had a nice afternoon out at the park today. It was lovely to get out for some fresh air after a week of snow and rain. It was a little busy as it's half term here this week, but that seemed to mean some delayed gratification for DS - he laughed like a loon when he finally got his turn on a swing
. After a rough couple of weeks with little sleep, we've been enjoying catching up again this week - DS had two molars come through on Monday. 10 teeth now, halfway there.

Congratulations Aethel! Great news! Also to Figgy on the cm solution.
Ear sympathies to minichin, and mopsy.
My baby is gone. He looked adorable in his wedding outfit (mamas n papas figgy). As soon as we came down he was attracting the ladies, and soon Macey was playing with him and kissing him. She got a bit of a shock when he started kissing with tongues.... (That's how the gps dog gives kisses, BOi thinks it's normal 
).
Later on he was charging around the dancefloor with the other kids. One started twirling around, with arms outstretched, and then there was no stopping the BOi!
So grown up!
Yesterday, I took him to a soft play centre for the first time. He found a friend immediately (aged 2) and they had great fun climbing and sliding in the toddler enclosure.
It's amazing to see him interacting with other kids, but where's my baby gone?!
We are officially the world's worst parents. We packed up the car for the wedding (staying at the hotel). And we remembered everything but the nappy bag. (No nappies, no baby cutlery, no bibs). We had to borrow nappies and wipes from others, until the evening do when we arranged for someone to bring us some. (We were in the middle of nowhere.) but then at soft play, we did the same. To be fair, we'd only nipped out to Tesco, and then decided to go to soft play. But we had to borrow a nappy and wipes from the centre when we got the unmistakeable whiff...

Been for a rare night out with DH for his annual squash club dinner. Best part of the evening was when I'd just for dressed up and we were about to leave and DD said: "you look beautiful mummy" ( I love her so much!). Most random part of the evening was that we ended up sat on a table with two other players and their wives and I'd been at school with both women. It's been almost 20 years since I last saw them

northern it's the bridge of my nose and I have a scratch on my forehead too.
He's been screaming and throwing himself round today teething sucks yesterday I lost my temper and started crying like a loon as he wouldn't go in his carseat and managed to flung himself out of it almost landing in the footwell. Have told dh I need time to myself next weekend especially as he is off birding 7-7 Sunday so now to think about what I want to do .......decisions decisions
Our next door neighbour invited us for Sunday lunch today unfortunately it's when he's due a nap but hopefully food will distract him it usually does
