Waaaaah!!! It's working!!
Oh god how I've missed you guys! Have had soooo many thoughts I've had to keep to myself.
Key points.
JJ I was sorry but also 
to hear of the duvet incident. I am glad you're feeling better.
Chasing you rock for many reasons. Your recent D&V sounds like hell, I would have died a thousand deaths as am total vomphobic. Also glad you're over that, hope your mood perks up soon and you're back on an even keel.
Evil and MM whos new name escapes me 
Flouncy if your BP is still high tomorrow, I would just accept some meds and get it under control pronto, so your anaesthetic risk is as small as poss, and there is no danger of them cancelling on the day. I hope it all goes smoothly for you, especially with all the carefully laid plans you have in place.
Det and others with poorly babes, I hope they are all on the mend soon.
The nursery, who are so fab in a billion ways, accidentally gave F some soya cheese in a pasta bake. I think it would be fair to say she is not like pass's P, as we have had three hellish days of reflux, well, hell. Stinky gross runs, hiccups, cough cough coughing and I won't bore you with the lack of sleep.
London zoo was totes amazeballs - it rained, and was a looong day, but so much fun. F had one hour nap between 5.30am and 7.30pm. The train journey home was, erm, interesting! How to make friends hahaha.
Hope there have been lots of lovely 1st and 40th birthdays - 2 weeks to go here. Who's next??!
