Never watched Downtown. I know, I KNOW. I haven't been able to understand most of the references to it in Heat/real life. Homeland, now. THERES a Telly Totty can of worms...

oimissus, for the purpose of this thread I think you should refer to yourself as OohMatron. LOVE Pam. SOOKEH IS NOT SEXY. Come ON people, it's all about that flame haired beauty, Jessica. GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LOT?! Don't like Alcide.

Robb Stark. Obviously. And Eric Northam forevah. A pox upon annoying Vampire Bill. And wet and wimpy 'Sookeh', which, incidentally, is the most ridicolous name, ever. I can't really talk, my taste in TV crushes is pretty abysmal. This is coming from someone who watched every episode of Broadwalk Empire I could get my hands on and fancied...Nucky Thompson. Not Jimmy. Not, er, that Irish one (Owen, I think?). Even had a bit of a glad eye for Meyer Lansky. I am sick.

Baby 1: Yes, dreamfeed worked like a, er, dream. He dropped it around 13mo, which was bottle, by then, was pregnant with.... Baby 2: Doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

ellie, I have an ergo you can borrow! PM if interested (disclaimer; it needs a wash....)

Lovely breakfast and florals sorted by infants (and their Dad, I suspect, as they're 3 and 1...). Baby then sat on my pillow and her nappy leaked. Poo. Everywhere. Now I am at work, but plan to duck out early to go home and go to sleep. I left the 4 loads of washing to my husband, he'll be SO PLEASED.

I disagree, Pickle. Kate didn't luck out. I would MUCH rather be married to Harry, because he is fit, than 'Good Ol' Wills. He seems boring. This is clearly very important. So glad we can have this kind of political/royalist debate on here.

There were a few girls on my course at Uni who freely admitted that they were at Uni for that exact reason! We did an education based degree. 45 girls, 3 boys. Not exactly a sausage fest.

My son knows he came out of 'that big cut in you tummy'. And that 'you sewn togetger, like a jumper'.

Can I be feminist and a stay at home mum? Ah, the million dollar question, and one that I have felt conflicted over since I was pregnant with my first! I haven't come up with an answer yet (for me). The main breadwinner thing is a weird one in my house. My husband works full time, me part time. However, if I worked full time (40 hours a week), I would earn about three times a much as him. However PTA Mum's attitude reeks.

TBH I didn't even know the NHS funded fertility tings, I assumed everyone had to go private, so I have learnt something new today.

:O the pipe comment was tongue in cheek! Jeez, maybe I have been spending too much time on mumsnet? *ponders*

LondonMix: I had my first at 24, became pregnant at 23. On purpose (we tried for a bit, nowt happened, so gave up and then found out I was pregant). Had my second at 25. All on purpose. I was married when I was 24 too (also on purpose ;)). Everyone, from MWs to SHO on the labour ward, assumed that I was an accidental teenage mother until they cast their eyes over my notes. Everyone also makes assumptions about my 'social' class when they hear this. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. HTH.

My now three year old went through this aged 20mo-25mo iirc. Tired but WOULD NOT sleep. We eventually got round it because his baby sister started having a long nap at 1ish, and I'd lie down on my bed with him and he would fall asleep. Job done. I ended up having to cut his naps out when he was about 2.5 because he would sleep easily in the day but then be awake till 10pm in the evening.
