Hallo.
Fuck me stunt a tww?!??!! How. Exciting!
I also wondered if the bath fear was related to movement chasing. P seems to be resolving hers but it has been quite a long one. Putting a tiny amount of bubbles seemed to take her mind of it as does brushing her teeth. She now like to use her toothbrush to swish the bubbles.
I know what you means about a day off yw. Not counting work I haven't been away from p for more than 2 hours which means that essentially if I am not working then I am dealing with the p dawg. Lovely and all but utterly knackering. That's the cost of not having family close. I think we are getting a night away in November or December to celebrate the PHD completion. Basically I think we will leave p with mil and fil while we stay in a hotel nearby. The thought of a lie in makes me all 
Today we went for a long walk and had a three course lunch. P sat very well throughout the whole thing so I was very pleased with her. She nibbled her own lunch then got stuck into ours before feeding herself her milk. Weirdly she seems to have decided that she doesn't want cuddled in for lunchtime milk. Morning and evening milk is for cuddles - not lunchtime. She gave herself her bottle while wandering around the mini-botanic gardens. Sadly she hasn't yet twigged that you need to look where you are going when you walk!
Question for FF. How do you give milk? Sippy cup or bottle? P has all bottles. I wonder if we should move to supply cup for lunchtime. I just worry that she won't get enough.
I think our/my next car might be an estate. We have a friend who offered us a Nissan Trailfinder. We had a we go of it but it didn't sell itself to us. Our hire car is a Renault megane. It has parking sensors all over it which go mental every time we go out in the car courtesy of all the moped drivers.
