*buys hat* pssst! Ben! She can read what you're writing! Alan Medic - pthhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Must be strategic use of the 'hide' button. She said, to no-one.

Admin, many thanks. Maybe we should all think about a little donation, especially those of us that use the forum regularly. I have to admit, I think I should pay up a bit more than I have to date. Anyone that agrees - see the 'Donate' link at the bottom of the page.

I suppose it would be pointless to wonder whether Azerbaijan is in Europe?

Was a bit bemused myself. She said the virus can come out through the skin...

In case I'm not the only one.. My elder son was born in 2007, and got his first MMR in 2008. Around that time there was a measles outbreak and he was given an early MMR booster and the line in his red book was correspondingly filled in. Since he was less than 18 months old at the time he does need a 2nd booster (and I've now booked it in), but according to his medical records he's already had the booster, so we didn't get a reminder, nor did the nurse spot it when he went for his pre-school jabs.

Of course muggers do move around, but they may have a preferred spot - perhaps one of the quieter corners of the park. Doesn't of course mean that someone ought to be cautious in one part and careless in another, but it might be useful to know.

I've always preferred the variant 'You can't shine a shite'. The assonance makes it roll sonorously off the tongue.

Thanks Pickle! That was my view too - however, have just come off the phone with the GP who advised quite firmly that I should keep him at home. I asked how he could infect anyone if inside his sling or buggy, and she responded that it was possible via flakes of skin. Boo. Home it is.

...and, inevitably, now the baby has it and looks like Plague Baby. Much spottier than his big brother was but not feverish so far. Am prescribing napping as long as he likes, feeding on demand, Eurax and will be trying oatmeal or bicarb of soda baths. Possibly a lobotomy for me, as I'm so bored. Oh wait, already had one... Now, how strictly do I need to keep to the house? With my pre-schooler we just stayed in, as it would be impossible to stop him being in contact with others. But the little one can be kept in a sling or buggy and away from being able to touch or breathe on people. Of course we can stay in if we have to, but is it necessary? Medical experts - your views?

The EDF is an affair. For some, just a one-night-stand, for others a long-term informal friendship, for some one of those on/off love you/hate you/can't-live-without-you entanglements*. Don't leave your wife for your mistress. You'll only need another mistress once the first thrill palls. *Not looking at anyone in particular. Much.

Thank God. I thought it was just me. Me: Eat your supper nicely, please. Use your spoon. Child (triumphantly): It's not a spoon, it's a fork. Me: Er, fork, yes.

I agree too. It's very offputting (as a buggy pusher) having to apologise 20 times just to get from the junction with Lordship Lane past Pretty Traditional.

After my elder son fell spontaneously in love with a bunny (a gift which turned out to be an incredibly expensive Steiff toy and therefore not duplicable!) we have made efforts to get Twosling attached to a soft cloth tiger. I gave it to him to hold while feeding him, and once we started putting him down in his own bed gave it to him to cuddle. It took a couple of months for him to get fond of it, but once he started rolling onto his side to sleep he started to grab it and slurp at it before settling. He's 6 months now, and it may be time for us to nip out and buy a sneaky second one in case of disaster.

Fazer has been set to stun-ningly boring and repetitive. Troll off, please.

I was ignoring it, in a characteristically dignified manner. But of course I am very proud of being a Mo of So's.

I have dark circles even when I haven't got babies so always have under-eye concealer. Laura Mercier is really good, but my favourite is Chantecaille.

I flew a 10 hour flight with a 7 week old (oh, and the week before sat on a plane for 6 hours with a 6 week old, which didn't fly...) at Christmas. It was completely fine. He was too tiny to need entertaining, just slept or breastfed, and even when he cried he was so tiddy that no-one could really hear him. The staff at the airport and on the flight were incredibly nice to us, cooing over him and helping us out at every turn. On the way home, the night flight, he slept for quite a lot of it so we could too. Our 3 year old was very good for his age, but he was much harder work than the baby! One thing to be wary of though is that a holiday with a tiny baby is not a holiday in any real sense of the word - you'll want to be doing lots of things, seeing lots of people, socialising... and you'll hardly be sleeping. We had a lovely time, but it's good to be prepared to feel a bit knocked out. If you have kind family around to look after the baby while you have a snooze that will really help.

The tenor guy was singing out of tune! Shite.

The one outside the Mind shop is still there.

I think Ben has concluded we are a wasp's nest of argumentative nutters and is steering well clear.

maxxi makes a good point
