Ethan has been allowed home - he is making great progress apparantly and is now feeding properly so he was allowed home this morning. Huzzah!
Also, Congrats to Lee and Faye - baby Malachi born monday weighing 9lb something (takes after his father
Watching the Question time special this evening with the 3 main party leaders and just as Michael Howard was announced up popped the TiVo with “TiVo would like to change channel to UKGold to record a suggestion: Fawlty Towers”.
Dunno about are you thinking what we’re thinking - my TiVo was obviously thinking what I was [...]
Went to visit Ethan last night. Only allowed 20 mins but to be honest, that was more than enough in the oven that is special baby care unit. Ethan slept all of the time and despite my mums claim that he looks like Jake (errrrr….how the hell would that happen?) I reckon he just looks [...]
Deb has now been kicked out of her private room as someone has come along who is willing to pay 200quid a night for a boxroom. Hmmmmmm

DIY skills improving - parenting skills down the pan [...]

I might actually get to start the painting today although given that my sister was due to drop her sprog last sunday I’m half [...]

No. I don’t. No they [...]
