Powelly - awesome to hear from you... sorry about your lumpy scare too - how goes it? Where can I find you if not in this thread if I want to stalk how you are going? And what you said to Gi is what I would have wanted to say, but you said it heaps better.

LnD - good decision sweetie - you might be surprised about a few things in this new phase - just how hard it can be to let go of all the things we do that really just adds pressure to ourselves but we do anyway, and secondly, just how liberating it is not to do them. I hope you get your bfp during the time you're not really trying to.... IYKWIM. FX for tomorrow - have you done something nice for yourself? I think it's pretty good advice.... Gigi took it and look how she's got her mojo back. You deserve to indulge yourself.

Gi - how is that bathroom coming along?

Hello to those I've not done persies for - Lollylegs, Tashy, Kate, MissB, Lady Tess... anyone Ive missed... sorry. Need a nap.

AFM just wanted to share....Oh funny moment here yesterday. DH, Hannah and I are out walking. Its dusk. We're on a concrete path ( so the contrast between light and dark is good) and see a dark gray snake - about a foot long, and maybe index finger wide, wriggling towards us. DH is pushing the pram, thankfully, as when I see the snake, I utter f**k, f**k and bolt in the opposite direction to the snake. I couldn't really control my reaction. When I am far enough away I turn around and start laughing at my reaction only to see DH backpeddling too. He managed to do it without the profanities. The snake continued to slither towards us and then off the edge of the path. It's not the first snake we've seen out walking, but the first to come towards us. It didn't look like it was attacking or being defensive, just more scared of us really. It was sort of coming down a hill and across the path when we came across it. Anyway, I am only sticking to the path, cause then at least I can see the little things.

Here's a quick question about threads - I've been thinking about it for a while - would you find it helpful to have somewhere in the thread a list of all who are subscribed to it? I have so much trouble remembering sometimes, and I hate to leave anyone out for fear they'll think they're not in my thoughts, but I know that I do leave people out if they haven't posted for a while. Anyway, just curious if it's something you think you'd like.
