I tells ya, girls, co-sleeping settles most babies marvellously for night sleeping! I feed, change, maybe feed again, wind (read some old skool poetry from one of our many antique poetry collection books) and then wrap Oscar up to go to bed with me.

SIL is coming oversoon so we can walk up to the village and do a coffee and cake I'll be doing juice and something wholesome cos I'm developing cold symptoms that I'd like to nip in the bud...
