    yeah there's an enclosure with some birds and monkeys roaming free which is nice (but lots of poop on the floor) it's also the rudest zoo I've ever been too :p have a look at my pic of the lakes trip on FB
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    OH commented on the shaking and I said I thought it was quite common. I read a NICE leaflet about CS recently and I think it said something about shaking in it? It also said the table will be tilted at a minimum angle of 15 degrees which I think they said was something to do with blood flow to the uterus. (Edit: I particularly noticed the tilting thing because you and someone else had mentioned feeling like you would fall off.)
    that was me... that would explain it.

    It can be - we'd be moving into a heavily conservative area in PA, which is a conservative outpost among the liberal north.

    I remember doing a comparison - I took a million euro and looked at what I could buy with it. With the equivalent in dollars, I was looking at an 8-bed mansion with 3 acres of landscaped garden in Birmingham, Alabama, a 4-bed townhouse in Baltimore, a brownstone in Brooklyn ... and an ex-council house, two up two down, in a dodgy area of Dublin. In fact, here it is.

    nice house in dublin!! mind you my home town is sooo expensive.its ex-council houses for stupid money!! but where my relations live its really cheap. with the boom loads of people who worked in dublin bought houses in arklow/gorey and when they have lost jobs have found it really hard to live so far away from dublin so are selling up/not buying anymore, so the houses have dropped in price. the other night i found a new build. 5 bedroom house, massive kitchen/dining room, huge sitting room and utility room (how posh) big gardens. en-suite master bedroom, downstairs loo, built in wardrobes. fitted kitchens and money to decorate for 255,000 euro!! i was in heaven, so i just need to start doing the lottery and win!! or mum to sell up and buy one for her and one for us!! :D

    susan, ss already kinda answered you, but just to echo it's not only in the south, though that is where the majority of ultra-conservatism lies. I have no problem with religiousity, of course, i just don't like how it pervades and dominates society, especially as it's often misplaced. But that's just how i feel having grown up there and keeping in touch with friends back.
    Though ur right, i do miss open countryside property for dirt cheap!!

    Gisi, glad u asked that about bfing, as finn still feeds loads in the day. We swaddle him for sleep, so doesn't bang his hands on the basket too much, i just wonder if maybe he needs more openness or something.

    anything goes really just avoid anything frosted or chocolate as they're twice as sugary.
    Chris likes cherios and special k :D
