Spider - Ry has orange fanta today and didn't have a daytime nap again....maybe those two things are connected! Then again just before bed he stole one of my ferreo rochers from the cupboard and went down no problem. [hmmm]
Amber - Poo here varies from day to day, but we def have had solids, tho they are usually a bit rabbit poo like. Eddie makes a good point re the sitting it in tho.
Sounds like you had a lovely day Eddie. I liked the phrase birthday bath as if a bath was an annual event.
Poppy - could i be cheeky enough to put a request in for the Julia Child? Altho I have just read a book about a guy training at Corden Bleu in Paris and all the french food talk sort of made me homesick (sort of because I have never lived in France, but I still love their food).
Dewin - Age gaps: DH and his sis = 6 years, Me and my sis = 9 years, Me and my bro = 11 years. And my brother & sis had a different father to me. Until we had a massive falling out a couple of years ago (made up now) I don't know two sisters closer. We shared flats and houses together for about 8 years, travelled Oz together, etc. Age gaps are less important than personalies IMO.
Abdn - Thank you so much, have fb msg'd you my address. Re: depression, my therapist at the Priory told me that the only real cure is time, which is ironic since I pretty much followed a full time timetable there! I found drugs to be useless, others swear by them, so don't rule them out. I found and still find, ensuring I leave the house every day (at one point I got agrophobic ) and get a bit of exercise that leaves me a bit breathless and exhilerated works (even if it's just a ten min run). Altho I smtms think that's simply down to the smugness I feel whenever I exercise! I don't want to go on, cos I feel like I am already, but I have lots of stuff from the P that I can send you if you like. Some of it is helpful, some isn't, but all of it has worked for someone IYKWIM.
Dewin - a six pack whilst pregnant!? Go and stand in the corner with Neenz and her too big size ten maternity jeans. I would ask for something from 13th century Wales, but I think I'm living in a time gone by here enough as it is! Speaking of which, I think that about 60% of white teenage boys here have rats tails.
Passes a cup of espresso and sympathy to Rolf.
Amber - In a strange way, I am delighted that you are feeling sick! Sorry if I missed this earlier, but just wondering, is it possible there's more than one in there? Or am I just freaking you out now?
Eddie - Ry said I love you to DH on Mothers Day here! And has never said it since.
Deb - Step away from the exchange rate now! No good can come of it... at spin the bottle.
Deb - "Are there many things to do around you?" No. It is so bad I have even been to wood chopping contests for entertainment!
Abdn - The vomit story made me LOL, sorry. But I'm amazed at the calm reaction from Dewin knowing her aversion to all bodily fluids. In fact Dewin, it was probably the idea of vomit that gave you such awful morning sickness in the first place! Actually you're jinxed aren't you? You hate bodily fluids and yet you were sick throughout your whole pregnancy and then had enough milk to feed Wales. You poor, poor woman. (Well done on the book BTW, is that it or will you have to go through publishers notes and stuff?)
