Maybe - Glad you're alive!!

at Danny, just make him whatever you like, don't give him the choice if he doesn't care

Also

at your MIL, how dare she?!? Saying that though, my mum has made comments about my flat in the past, and it used to really upset me. I decided i wouldn't let it bother me anymore, so now if she says anything about the state of the flat, i just say "the rubber gloves are under the sink, knock yourself out if you want it cleaner"

shuts her up every time!
FruFru - Poor Joni teething

at least like you say if its a night like that once a fortnight or even once a week, and the rest of the time things are working well, then thats good going

I can understand why you'd be struggling to feel confident about the logistics of the trip your friend has offered. I'd say write down all the things you have misgivings about, and see how many could be easily solved. If there are too many things you can't solve then you might have to rethink

Also, if Joni is in nursery part time by then, and your hubbie is happy caring for her the rest of the time, could you not have a word with the nursery well in advance, and have her go for more days that week as a one off, so your hubbie didn't have to use his holiday up? Just a thought
Sarah - Glad you are so pleased about the box scheme
Well, its been such lovely weather here today! Not all that warm, but clear blue skies all day

Roh and I went and met some friends at the playcentre today. Naturally Roh fell asleep just before we got there and spent an hour snoozing, luckily its only 99p for babies under 1 year, and its not timed sessions unless it gets mega-busy

Once he woke up he had a ball. My friend's little girl is crawling well too, so they had alot of fun chasing eachother about. They kept turning towards eachother, then both grinning and shouting, and then they charged towards eachother, and ended up headbutting, sooo cute

Roh managed to kiss 2 little girls whilst he was there, at least he's stopped biting and just does massive slobbery licks instead now
After the babies were worn out, we cruised the local charity shops, there is about 20 of them all along that street, its great. I spent £4 and got Roh 2 new looking board books, a gap sweater, some Disney dungerees and a little green puffy body warmer, which i thought would be good for the spring, when he might not need a full coat. Good haul! On the way back i went to poundland and got 4 sleeved bibs and 4 little plastic plates (for his snacks etc) for £5. What a bargain day

We ended up getting home really late (5.45pm

) So had to shovel scrambled eggs and toast down Roh, then his bottle, chuck him in the bath, then read him a story, and had him in bed by 7pm. Phew!!
I grabbed a choccy bar today, so i'm settling down for a cosy friday night alone with choccy and baileys (only a little bit!) and a soppy film
