Sophia don't feel crappy. I think with potty training, like with most developmental milestones, we can help them or give situations that encourage, but they just have to do it in their own time. DD isn't potty trained and she's 2.8yo. I think she's starting to think about it & I feel like she's a bit "behind" given I know other children her age are dry but we've had to tell PILs to fuck off please leave it alone when they start going on about it. She shows interest in the potty, she knows what its for, she tells me if she's wee'd or pooey. She'll get there. How many 5+yos do you know in nappies (SEN aside)?
Also, GP suggested I try the mirena too. I'm a psycho bitch awful mess on the pill. Not sure if the 3-6mths it can take to settle down is too long to endure messed up cycles etc iyswim.

Also, he can give a tax free gift as long as he lives more than 7yrs after, so if he wants to help you/the estate avoid inheritance tax, there are definitely ways around it & worth raising now. Personally, I still would have a pension though but that's me, belts & braces 
pig sounds miserable. This too will pass mantra at the ready...
Getting paranoid that thrush will occur given LO & I have both had a course of antibiotics each since he was born. Eatng probiotic yogs but don't think they're hardcore enough.
