    *collapses* Photos finally all uploaded and captioned. Still haven't done the dozens from earlier months this summer, but hopefully will get around to those soon-ish. Think it's time for an early bedtime soon now that that's finished!

    Susan, I wish I had had those list of verses to share with a friend who had several MCs after their first baby...you're very strong and hope you get to feeling a bit more like yourself soon.

    We clearly brought the crappy weather from Scotland down with us - sorry guys! :o

  • I've been doing insurance quotes too JM, they're shocking aren't they!! Have you tried adding yourself as a named driver? My instructor said that can lower the quote... I think I'm going to be going third party only for the first couple of years... But then I doubt any car I own would be worth more than the insurance excess anyway lol...

    Yeah think thats what we'll have to do, i'll just add him as a second driver, puts it up a couple of hundred over the year so obv a lot cheaper than if he had his own, imagine if he was on his own though, he just wouldnt be able to afford it.. this means that he needs me more than i need him *evil laugh* Does your hubby drive?

    yeah def, it mentioned at the end she was back at the office within the week! it was upsetting the thought of a week old baby being cared for by a nanny when i imagine it just wants to snuggle with its mummy:(

    but saying that the dad came across quite well i thought, maybe he took more time out... but it didnt mention that really

    It seemed to me that the husband really wanted the baby...maybe she was doing it for him?

    He was saying about how he would change his whole life to fit around the baby etc...and make sure 'stuck up wifey' could continue as she was!!
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    i know! the best bits of Kian being that small were being able to hold him all day and love him to bits. i cant imagine not been there for that.

    horses for courses and all that but not for me
