    All your lovely vibes for OH worked. He doesn't have angina, and his cholesterol is apparently so good the nurse wanted to know what he was doing! He does have to go for another test as it may be related to a previous health problem, but it's looking ok.

    :j Great news!

    :wave: Jolene and Sparkle, and i :rotfl: 3 when you said MM only stops in once a month, I was thinking, during the full moon?

    And :wave: Bruno, I hope the disruption and loss of privacy is worth it for you and your OH.

    Stokkes... I love mine, space-sucking or not. But we're still using the loaner after Easyjet damaged mine (:mad:) so agreed on not risking it on a plane.

    Those nightlights are nightmarish, ears or not :eek:

    Gill, I've seen plain iced sponge cakes at Tesco, we were going to do one sponge and one fruit for our wedding cake but my aunt made it instead.

    Another busy-ish day planned today - we're off to the historical Oktoberfest exhibition, it's the 200th anniversary so there's an area set up the way it was in the first one. Supposedly we're going for lunch but it's been so manic that we'll be leaving around 10:30 :rotfl:

    My boss is at Oktoberfest, SS! Went over yesterday for the night, bonding with German colleagues and clients at some corporate event there. OK not very exciting.

    Morning all :)

    Anyone have an opinion on whether I can literally just substitute oatmeal (ground oatmeal) for flour in a crumble topping? :)

    :p Thanks SS! While he has many troubling qualities he has certainly done his best to get me raises.

    Well, suspecting FIL's presence may lead to a disrupted/changed bedtime anyway, but otherwise the plan is to give it a couple of weeks then see if my presence regresses things still. Poor OH has trouble carrying him to bed at the mo and that'll only get worse so I should really get back into bedtime involvement as soon as possible...!
    When we are in the same place overnight as OH's parents, we usually plan on Alice going to bed the same time as us on the first night because she's always too excited.

    Bruno, I've subbed a large bit of oatmeal for flour before. It won't go as 'crumbly' as flour, butter and sugar, but taste good.

    Susan, the nearest Ikea to us is Leeds, so going on for 70 miles away. Unfortunately that's a bit too far to go regularly - probably a good thing for my wallet though!
