Yay Pubes a girl! Thrilled for you! Little girls are ace - and so are little boys of course (but then you knew that). So did your MIL suss it out in the end or does she still not know?
LadyT hope the appointment went well today and you're feeling a bit better. Sounds like you're having a trying time of it at the moment - must be hard waiting to hear about the book. Fingers crossed you get some good news this week.
Beans loved your cossie story too. Classic.
spot I had a look at where the Griffin is and I think it might be a bit too far from where we're going anyway. I wanted to camp somewhere between Brighton & Farnham ish really - I don't suppose anyone has any recommendations? Mind you the weather doesn't look very clever this weekend so might not camp after all. You never know, I might end up meeting you for a brew in Cambridge!
Veggie it's a brilliant gift you're giving the LOs by giving them (well DS1 at least) the opportunity to speak 3 languages. They'll breeze through languages at school (which ones do they do in Oz?). And you wg - do you speak much German to DD? A friend of mine's having a Spanish/English baby this week and I'm quite envious that she's going to have that heritage.
katie you're doing brilliantly. I have given up smoking many many times in the past and know how hard it is, especially the boozing with friends bit. I often found puffing on an unlit fag helpful in those situations. You look a bit of a tit of course but on the plus side it's very cheap.
Kiwi glad you're on the mend - sounds scary.
Still no word from urbane? I hope everything's okay.
Right, bedtime. Na night x
