Stefka - glad you had a nice week off with Dareh. at 'naughty lion'.
Alice - hope you enjoy your wedding anniversary.
LLL - hellooooo!!!!! Welcome back - we've missed you. Yes I did a cake - I took your advice and looked on flickr for inspiration, then just kept it simple. There's a link on fb to the piccies if you want to see the result! Thank you for your wise words. Glad Ben had a good birthday - wonderful that he's chattering away so much. Good as well that Sam's school is being sensible about his starting arrangements - hope the hearing test goes well.
Dal - I don't know why but I've been really looking forward to Anya being 2 so I've had to stop myself saying she already was for the last couple of months . Glad you had a good anniversary - shame your brother forgot.
Foodie - you are very welcome. Good luck with the imminent birth!
Eva - oh I'm so sorry to hear of your break-up . Do post and let us know how you are - or rant/vent if you want to.
Anya has been asleep for nearly 3 hours now! She missed her nap yesterday - she was at my parents and they couldn't get her to go to sleep as normal. By teatime she was soooo tired - she had a complete meltdown over a yoghurt (its very existence upset her I think - didn't matter where I put it, it wasn't right). I think she's making up for it today.
Have I mentioned she said 'Anya' for the first time last week? I'm loving all these new words .
