Stormy, yawp is one of my Dad's, as in "what yer yawping about?". He's from Hinkley in Leicestershire. They have quite the accent. Where's your Dad from? Maybe it's a generational thing. My papa is 75. Good to hear that you have worked through the financial forecast. I am hopeless at all of that. I find it brain explodingly frustrating which leads to us having weddings, house moves and babies without having done the maths properly. Irresponsible. But one generally shrinks or expands to fit ones means. Anyhow, if you can work and solve childcare with the scenario you suggest (regardless of DC2 or not) you sound sorted.
Ecotod was size 2 but is now a 3G. Fat feet like Daddy here too Doli.
Yummy/Betty whites white? Bleurghh....there's loads of chat about it on here. I can't really do most of it as it involves chemicals and ecotod and I are supersensitive. They generally seem to say 60 degrees with biological powder. We don't do that but we do line dry and the bleaching effect of sun is good. Yummy's tip about glowhite sounds worth exploring.
Hang on, baby who is supposed to be napping is yawping, back soon.
Plonky do you think early waking is to do with being a pesky baby or do to be criminally light mornings? That black out blind thing has done wonders. I think she might wake before 7 but she seems to sit and play quietly, like she knows the darkness means she needs to at least pretend to be asleep. BTW, how did you get on with shoe shopping? And, what is your boy wearing to your wedding? And, is 'looming' the right word?! Maybe 'excitedly close' would be better should dp ever see this thread 
Shattered, I like to be missed! Truth is my fecking shoulder is so painful that sitting at laptop or lying in bath with arm up are uncomfortable. Boo! Apparently, according to doc, I have over stretched the ligament that connects my clavicle to my corocoid process. This should heal on its own. WITHIN TWO WEEKS. Yuck. Flying solo without my man so getting in and out of cot/bath/car seat and driving/getting dressed are awesomely horrible. I might fester in my pjs until he comes home and not wash either of us Back on the diclofenac so no wine for me this week. With regards puddings, 9 times out of 10 it is raw fruit here. We also offer natural full fat yoghurt, pancakes with maple/peaches, sugar free carrot cake which freezes in portions really well. The crumbles were mine. All mine! Didn't let the chunkster have any but it was served after her bedtime so that's ok. Apple sause goes down well here. It's like nectar. Chop apples without peeling or coring and add splash water, stew it and then push through a sieve. delicious and great for spiced apple sauce cake too! No neglect on the shoe front. We ended up getting them as she spends so long in her backpack that her feet were getting chilly since she grew out of her all in one that had boots on it too.
Something, kit you out? Trainers surely nowt else needed? Old joggers or shorts and any old t shirt will do no? Tell us what you got!
Doli, that stag sounds silly to me. I think you really have to be considerate of your fellow-partiers. 70% of my hens had babies under 1 year old and were skint from being on maternity leave. I hired a beautiful village hall and the babies and my nieces came. We made jewellery and papercrafty stuff for the wedding, with a take away curry and champagne at tea time. All done by 7! What does the bloke version of that look like? Perhaps a bit like my DH's....they all (10 or 11 of them) stayed in our terraced house at the time and did a pub crawl route they did whilst at uni. But his best man was from LA so not wildly considerate to him! But yeah, it's a load of hairy old bollocks if you ask me. I am pretty certain that wherever the location of such manly celebrations the manky outcome is pretty much the same. Hangovers all rounds, memory black spots and empty pockets. Thanks for support about my Passover debacle. If I had engaged by brain for a minute though it would have been obvious. Lesson learned!
Pud, poor poppet! Nasty set of symptoms. Glad he's on the mend. And distance-wise, I think it's 5 to 7km which is very fun-run-able with a few months of very low key training. If you did fancy it I'd have no doubt you'd be able to wibble around with me as we slither through the mud. I love chocolate too. It is very similar to mud and therefore logic says that's ok.
Any if you want parental solidarity, come to us lot. We're a good, honest, cross-section rather than an overly high concentration of vipers.
OK, shoulder killing and have friend and baby coming over for dinner so best go and put final touches to the food. It'll be nice to have some company. I find the dinner through to bedtime the hardest bit of the day when I'm on my own.
