Glad it's helping George, Knitter.
And happy new year to you too, Denny!
I've given notice at R's nursery as he keeps getting ill. I don't actually mind the colds etc, but I think with him still being a bit down after the colds, then bronchiolitis etc, he just picks up randomly any bugs going around. I have to pay until the end of January (which is fair enough, I knew that when I signed the contract), but my mother-in-law offered to come and help us out until early April. I have no idea what to do then - whether his immunity might be stronger by then, so could do nursery again, or to look into childminder (perhaps someone with only one or 2 other kids?) or nannyshare. I would love a full-time nanny just for him - had someone help me out on Monday and Tuesday as R wasn't feeling well and we couldn't stay off work, and it was brilliant. He was so relaxed, laughing, slept really well at night. But sadly it's too expensive. Oh I don't know. I wish I had family nearer to help out when he's ill. Guess you can't have it all though, can you?
Re the whole ff/bf-ing thing - I meant to say, it is nice discussing it here, as everyone's supporting but intelligent. Also love the fact that we've got people knowing what they're talking about. Oh and Peachy, I don't know why it matters to me so much, but I always feel better reading your posts as you've got the dietitian advice too. I've decided if I'm ever pregnant again (say, in 10 years or so...), I'd rather tracks everyone here down than ask a general question - filters the nutcases and judgipants out.
I am rather tired but love the new job. It's weird, I think even just with R I worked harder being at home with him than an office job, but this is a different kind of work than with him obviously and that I'm a little out of practice with, so am fading fast! Bring on the weekend.
