mitf - how lovely to hear from you. We're planning on doing the same thing. We'll have to do a lot of our "telling" on skype and the telephone. DH and I are running a book on who squarks the loudest and who cries the most.

Told my colleague today and she got tears in her eyes which of course nearly set me off... I only told her because she's sat right next to me and was about to light up!
