I only just saw the first line of all the new posts, and Vag was working up the courage to go in the pool, and Kayz said "do it do it" then to my excitement I read it properly in full!
Wow how exciting Vag! I'd be a nervous wreck with the age thing too as I was totally stressed being pregnant with dd, and not really old (not that you're / I'm old now, it's just you know.... I'm a worrier!) so I totally get that, but it can be done, and usually goes off without a hitch, and easily... just ask Lady! How exciting! I'd slightly want to kill your dh too with just deciding to swing around now.... bloody men.
So what's the likelihood of this new situation going ahead? Crikey you lot doing the 3 thing are brave!
Lady, yes def must get a plan together - or even lock in that plan to get Spot over and kidnap Deids and stick the Dude fam on the train! Ive got a buggered up Standby month for June, so could be messy anyway, it's a once a year thing, but only my little couple of overnights this month. Then July we are utterly chokkas on the calendar.
Where are you going in Spain? I CANNOT wait for our trip (we never go on short close to home trips with no jetlag!!!) and I suspect we will make it an annual thing after this trip. Just need to get dd into a drown proof suit as there is a pool just steps from our accom, (and she thinks she's a good swimmer 
) and then start stock piling the pink Bolly, and the diet goes without saying! 
Well I have wormed myself, dd, ds and the dog just waiting for dh to get home and he will be greeted with a syringe of Worm medicine.
I started to honey roast some parsnips as I had an abundance, then realised I'm low on honey - idiot.
Kayz, sorry bout your brother's news. Crikey that's tough. As Beans said, good she found out now.
