VQ good luck today.
wellieboots glad a good time was had. Pics look great. Sorry for reflux woes.
lily FX for a result at the hearing. My holiday pay was carried over so I had about 35 days to use between end of mat leave in April and end of firm's holiday year in Jan '14. Took 2 weeks on end of mat leave, have used odds and sods here and there, and have a couple of days stored which I fully intend to use on nursery days to have some me time. I genuinely don't know how SAHM/Ds manage. It's relentless. At least work is a change of scenery and pace and a different sort of unreasonable whiny people with unrealistic expectations and constant demands 
PR don't put too much pressure on yourself for the days at home with both to be stimulating, interesting and full of lovely moments. Two titchy people are hard work. Some days its ok. Some days its a day of cartoons and benign neglect and survival. eliza that was really honest and I totally relate to some of that.
pass made me think what a load of bollox too. Think pikz analysis of small minded people is right.
I generally hate the news as it makes me upset so often. I read it at work first thing and seem to end up in tears at the start of my day with reasonable regularity. This morning it was the Dambuster's well attended funeral which made me well up. And then I saw the pic of a man carrying his dead DD in the Phillipines and properly howled. That little girl looks similiarly sized and aged to my DD. The awful things in this world are so much more awful as a parent I think. I know that sounds so dreadfully patronising to those without children, but I know how much more affected I am by the news since having DC. I just feel it, I think. I don't think I am saying that well at all.
Isles keep going. I totally agree with what horsey said about you having been there and then perhaps faltering.
Yep YW, DH and I can be a good team. Thanks for saying that. It's not come totally easily the quiche may recall ranting about lack of initiative but I have been back at work for exactly 6 months (tomorrow) so we have had time to get into our routine and know what works and what needs to be done. But DH stays up later than me and squeezes in xbox time while waiting for the washing to dry! But much like your DH, mine would happily do that sort of task if I asked it of him, without complaint. Must try and remember more that DH is a good egg.
jims and msjj interesting to hear about the study - I enquired (like a few others) but not travelling to London under own steam to do it. Although the watch things would be scary in terms of measuring my own lack of activity!
