    Thanks Mildred, good to know. Suppose our registry office is just busy for some reason. I'm sure they could have got an earlier appointment if they insisted.
    I'm never offended by debate & opinions. As a wise man called Voltaire once said, "I disagree with what you say, but will defend until death your right to say it."
    Mortgage is my only debt - Original mortgage - January 2008 = £88,400, March 2014 = £47,000 Chipping away slowly! Now saving to move.

    Ah there is nothing as nice as a four week old baby near you on a plane for several hours, except perhaps twins.


    Far better a four week old than a 2 year old.

    Older children can travel outside as well.

    MSE forum members must have the best behaved babies in the world,
    shame about all the others.

    Yes, I've had grumpy old gits with your attitude tut and scowl when they've seen us taking our seats behind them with our three children in tow. Same grumpy old gits have made a point before leaving the flight to tell us what a pleasure our children have been.

    Not all parents lose control of their children the minute they walk along the skyramp.

    I would refer you to the comments I made some time ago in post #11 :whistle:
    I'm sure your children are the sort I would like to be trapped in a lift with for endless hours without food or drink, obviously I wasn't talking about them.
    I've had a lot of contact with children, I even went to school with some.

    Once travelled first class with an18 month old and 2 older kids. I got some filthy looks! At the end of the 8 hr flight I was complimented on my kids behaviour. The older 2 enjoyed the full attention of the wknderful staff. My little one smiled, slept, played and giggled


    As for a 2 to 6 weekold.. Should be a breeze if you go prepared.
