Lol BG, you really are going to be in trouble

All the best with returning to work Janie. It's a big adjustment for the both of you, but I'm sure you'll do just fine, especially since it's only 3 days a week.

Good luck for the long car trip Murph. Sounds like a killer (and I thought 5.5hrs on a plane was bad!)

It's lovely to hear how wonderfully Tara is going Kelly. Good job.

Glad to hear the party went well BW, and that it had a healing effect for you , that's wonderful. (oh, and also pleased to hear that no in-laws were killed in the process )

Better lose that belly Neptune

Party girl missmagpie! Hope the checkup goes well.

And hi to everyone else that I may have missed.

We're good. Will be working a bit soon, which sucks, but will bring in a bit of cash. A 2-month stint should do me for the rest of the financial year, though, which is a nice thought.

A is talking more and more and sticking words together. Many of them are made up or sounds (rather than actual words), but never mind. we mostly understand him. He always wants to join in and help out, which is lovely though unhelpful usually. But I find giving him little tasks to do works well most of the time. Though I know I am entirely biased, I have to say he really is a lovely child
