Ok, ladies, just a little TDE question here - when you vacuum with your Dyson, do you get that dusty smell in the air?? That's the main reason I want one (HEPA filtering system thingo) because I can't stand that dusty smell you get after vacuuming.

Sherie, I was in on Friday but I've been trying not to hog the conversation in the thread too much. Trying not to make MD the centre of the universe LOL. Oh how dearly I would have loved to have been away. I feel like I'm due for our July anniversary weekend (sans kidlets) but this year he's leaving on our anniversary. I'll be lucky to get dinner out before he goes and even then I know I'll be sad. Gawd I hate the way his absence starts looming over me for such a long time before he goes!

he is still waiting for his 'old wife' to come back. He doesn't think I would be able to cope with two.
Cally how do you feel about this? Do you feel like your old self? I guess you need to remember our bubbas aren't even 1 yo yet, it's a very labour-intensive time right now, plus we're all still hormonally affected by motherhood. This doesn't last forever, I remember clearly the point at which I started feeling more like myself again with DD1, it was well after the 1 y.o. mark. I know I'm a bit on the crazy side sometimes but i was like that before I had DD1 too LOL!

Cally, re QE2, no more big trips before we're booked in. However, I'll be doing more of the nighttime settling and making sure DH does it 'my way' too. I will know in a couple of weeks whether this is a temporary thing or not. Anyway I'll cope better when he goes on his big trip as I'll have the FDC time to catch up on sleep if I need to.
