Fortuitously well timed to derail the discussion, my lovely husband has just got off the phone with a person who could theoretically be in charge of promoting him into a position he really wants and has been hoping and working towards for aaaages.

One of his colleagues tried to get into this department a while ago (think of it as Nerdly Ninjas, if you will, the Elite of Nerds) and was soundly rejected. This person not only didn't reject my oh so smart and clever and charming husband but is at the present moment actively seeking permission to hire him.

I'm so delighted for him.

Yay Mr SS :T:T May I suggest a pinball machine may be suitable as a congratulations present?! :rotfl::rotfl:(I'm only kidding, but I saw your fb post yesterday!)

Woohoo! Great news for hubby, SS. Fingers crossed for him.

YAAAAAAY on job MFD, 3 months is 3 months! Time for more stuff to happen. Very happy for you And pre-emptive YAAAY for Mr SS also very exciting!

Caz, hope a night's rest sets you straight and you're not really really sick.

Yeah SS. X

I've spent so long on it I've no time to catch up but will tomorrow, promise. So excited to be able to get back on but will go back a day so I'm not completely out of date.

I'm just after some advice on newborn nappies.

I know it's a bit like how long is a piece of string but can anyone give me a rough idea of how many packs of newborn nappies (size 1) and how many newborn size 2 I would expect to get through? Just debating whether I need to stock up on any more but have literally no idea how quickly you would expect baby to grow!

Doh, forgot I quoted you Gill! Henry was in size 1 for about 4 weeks, then size two for another 4 or so weeks and is now still in size 3. He's a chunk though and about to move onto size 4s. Remember you change them about 10 times a day in the first few weeks so do use lots of nappies to start off with.

I agree with Bruno- everytime I feel hard done by that my crappy SMP doesn't even return last year's tax to me I remember how much my epic birth, daily monitoring at term+10 etc, etc has cost the country and how good the care was in my hour of need and I feel much better.
