Goodness, I totally missed Rozzie's BFP. OK, low key cheering now and bigger yippees when you confirm :-)

Katie, we might've passed each other last week! My building looks over Barangaroo where all the WYD concerts etc. were held. We saw everything from the sound checks (not fun) the week before to the Pope coming down from the Captain Cook Cruise (I wonder how they scored that!!!). I'm on the 27th floor so we just heard the deep bass sounds and muffled voices which was distracting but I did hear a very beautiful operatic rendition of Who Wants to Live Forever when I ventured downstairs. There's still loads pilgrims running around and yesterday we had lunch next to a table of monks!

Sue, you're doing all the right things so hopefully your body will participate shed the kilos you don't want. In the Francesca Naish book that I keep quoting, she recommends rebounding which as far as I can tell is just bouncing on a mini-tramp. She says it's good for your ovaries and uterus. So of course I got one and have been using it and if you jog on the spot on it, you work up quite a sweat! Perhaps you can try that too?

Are you counting down the weeks to Cooper's EDD with dread, Helen? I'm trying not to but it's looming like a raincloud. I take the others' advice that the time leading up to it is worse than the day itself and promise myself that I will look forward (with Hamish in my heart) after 14 Aug.
