Ali - Queen's sounds great. Hope it's nice and sunny for you, I think the forecast is pretty good for this weekend.
I am totally behind on decent TV, we just have the basic freeview and last week somehow we lost ITV and Channel 4, which is a bit annoying. Everyone else is getting more and more channels, we end up with less.
Sybil - glad Jamie had a good birthday, and yeah I did think about it later and decide that fish fingers must actually be fairly healthy, just fish and some bread crumbs. Probably better than the ikea elk salami he had a taste of at lunch time (only the very smallest piece), oh and I came downstairs last night to find DH giving him a bit of Skegness Rock the neighbours had brought back (again only a tiny tiny bit - but still!), at least he has no teeth to rot! On that subject I had a dentist appointment this morning and he had a look at J as well and he is now registered with the dentist and has to go back in 6 months (hopefully he will have teeth by then), both me and DH are missing 4 teeth each so he hasn't got genetics on his side as far as teeth go which I think is making me keener to see at least one tooth.
BDQ and Abdn - it should have occured to me before now about the seat, I realise that they get more support when stopping suddenly if they are rear facing, I just thought he doesn't fit anymore so turn it round. Will try and weigh him to check, thank you!
Sponge - when I say nap I mean I close my eyes in exhaustion but I am still fairly concious of what J is up to, if you know what I mean, I manage to kind of drift off for minutes at a time in between removing him from whatever unsuitable object he has found, but still it helps and after half an hour of doing that I feel a lot better. I do make some attempt to make sure he is somewhere safe and there isn't anything dangerous around first.
Amber - I guess we do have a vaguely healthy diet so I guess (eg rock and elk salami) that helps with feeding him, in the dark ages that I live in without ITV and Channel 4 we also don't have a microwave so can't take that option.
Whinegums - hope everything went OK last night.
Neenz - your friend really is being a self centred twit.
Thank you all for saying you are glad I'm back! Made me feel all smiley! The length and boringness of this post will make you all quickly change your minds.
Should be getting off so sorry I've not said hi to everyone, we are going to a gym session, we went about a month ago when J was only just crawling (he was too small really but I stupidly thought it was just a baby group) but he did get 'well done' stamps on his hands for good trampoline work and doing a forward roll in front of the class! I think he will enjoy it more now he is more mobile!
