Hi girls,

Just checking in on Michelle aswell - so glad Omar (yeah I'm still on the Omar bandwagon for now) is looking good - all our babes are extra special, but I think little George Gregory will hold a special place in so many people's hearts. Michelle, hope you are coping with the incredible deulge and mountain of arrangements hon, it's a goddam marathon you are running. It's a big lead up to Greg's funeral, and I'm sure you want to make it perfect for him - it's after the funeral I'm going to worry even more about you - but we will all be here in whatever capacity we can be, to help hold you up

Bek - There's so many things to consider with the sleep thing. I have found Flynn is a real catnapper in the day - and he still wakes 1 or 2 times a night - admittedly he's 4 months. By Eva's age, it tends to be less about food, and more about other things, that wakes them through the night. You REALLY would be desparate for some uninterrupted sleep. If I were you (and I'm not ;-) ) I would consider letting DH a bottle feed before bed, maybe just wean her off that one feed (and he can do a few night of night-duty, while you sleep). Just a thought, it might help her ease up a bit on her night calls on you? Sleep deprivation is the PITS, and I've had a bit of it myself since having Flynn - a baby and todder can be a potent mix at night time.

Mako - I was 12 and hiding in a shed with my girlfriend/partner in crime, so a late bloomer compared to you dear girl

Kelly - good to hear your fighting spirit is returning, atta girl

Willow - thanks for being so efficient and organised.

to everyone tonight.

Yawn, yawn, nearly bed time - I had a girlfriend call in tonight with take-away curry and strawbs/ice-cream - she knew I'd got more bad sad news on the Luc front today - it was just what I needed tonight, I'm blessed with beautiful friends, including you all, so I'm truly a very rich person

Off to bed - and I'm not 'praying' to the sleep gods to be kind tonight - I'm BLEEDING WELL ORDERING THEM TO SERVE IT UP TO ALL OF US, DAMM IT !!!!!!
