Hi all, strange couple of days here. D's getting more mobile and more demanding and when he's awake I can't really leave him while I look at mn. He's also not as easy to hold on my lap while I use the computer as I was, as he keeps trying to grab everything - wrist rest, keyboard, you name it!
He's also still not sleeping well, I've had to go and resettle him in his cot 3 times this evening - once while reading the thread to catch up - and am sure we won't get off so lightly for much longer, I expect to hear wails any minute.
We're off to stay at my aunt's a few wmiles away while the kitchen is installed tomorrow so I don't know if I'll be able to get online much for a few days. They have an internet connection but I don't know where the computer is or if we can hook up using dp's laptop. We'll be here part of the time as well but not necessarily in circumstances where I can be online.
Welcome back Leaky. Glad to hear you've found a new place, hope all goes well from hereon with that. But sad to hear about your gran and your parents' stress.
I've met Nutty at Leeds station but really hope I might get to meet some of the other Yorkshire mn contingent some time. We're going to be in Ilkley Christmas week but we also rely on public transport and we already don't have that much time - arrive on Saturday, dp goes to get mum Sunday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, dp takes mum home, and then just one full day left before we go home on Saturday . But maybe some time in 2008 we can arrange something.
York would be a lovely place to have a meet up I think, much nicer to wander round than Leeds city centre, and various possibilities for those with other dcs - or if it takes us a while to get it together to have a meet up! There are lots of places I'd like to take dp to visit in Yorkshire actually - we've been to Harrogate together but there's the places in Leeds I grew up in, there's York, Whitby, Scarborough - and they're so different in character too.
Hope SPB, Pillock and all get a good night's sleep. I'd send sleep vibes but we probably need them too.
