Ambersky - that is hilarious! You may as well have been at home. DH was on holidays since DD2 was born 4 Jan and my Mum arrived 1 Jan, so I didn't get overly cleaning mad. I still had my cleaner too, in fact, she came the day after DD2 was born while my m/w was there and was shocked that I had given birth the day before right there!

Em, hope shingles are all cleared up soon and then baby arrives.
