spotty are you okay? What was the noise? We live in what's considered a 'nice' part of Manchester and dh still keeps a pen knife 
by the bed 'just in case' of unwanted guests.. 
Having mammoth catch up reading as busy doing nothing yesterday and O has miraculously started sleeping in his hammock over night! Nothing like the blocks of sleep some are getting but a good night by our standards, even more appreciated as that before it was ghastly.
spotty & clarella your biscuit chat has made me crave jaffa cakes for breakfast.
Mummy has the lurgi (please don 't flame me for names), so not coming up tomorrow. 
She was super last week, taking O to let us sleep and otherwise doing a load of cleaning/ helping cook and run errands so we could focus on him. nutella second everyone else YANBU re inlaws, if they don't want to help, just being possessive/manipulative, they need to realise their grandchild isn't going anywhere and you need time more importantly than them.. thankfully while wildly overexcited by ds, my dh has spent years of training his parents so they aren't too pushy. Massive benefit now, although when I first met him I thought he was surprisingly strict with them! (I also speak from experience as almost married a man with parents who sound exactly like that - horrific, trying to tell me that after 9 years of training in my profession I should give it up as soon as we got hitched to knock out a sprog for them, as her other grandchildren live abroad Didn't go down well although nothing to do with me ending things.)
