V embarrassing. Luckily his friends with the champagne did see my point that flying corks and glass walls are not a good combination...Imogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811393485894960485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-60984516314149251292011-01-06T11:00:14.213+00:002011-01-06T11:00:14.213+00:00Mwa and Anna Maria, I'm glad you enjoyed and s...Mwa and Anna Maria, I'm glad you enjoyed and share my thoughts. <br /><br />The Return of the native - yeah, I shout at mine too but at the bottom of it all am really, really grateful they're there. <br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-6690236462841194062011-01-06T10:53:40.833+00:002011-01-06T10:53:40.833+00:00Mrs P - what a lovely positive comment.

I only get hooked when Daughter is at home and then don't watch for months. Always easy to catch up though, especially when Daughter can fill in the blanks (she hates that....!) <br /><br />Christina, I didn't realise how much I fancied him until I saw him up close. Isn't that funny? I'm not usually so star struck. Daughter whispered to me 'Just pretend you're in Soho House or something, for goodness sake!'. <br /><br />Mette, I'm so thrilled for you! How absolutely lovely!

Touch wood, they are healthy and normal and infuriating and I love them to bits!<br />I own up and admit that I am addicted to EastEnders and have been for three years now - my husband's fault even though he doesn't watch it (and thanks to iPlayer I can now watch it when he is not around/busy). Although I found the cot death and the baby swap in one episode rather over the top I was surprised to read that thousands of people had complained to the BBC - why?<br />Oops, sorry - your post was not about EastEnders!The Return of the Native ... sort of.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09232917204933495222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-55560274936833067742011-01-05T21:08:10.839+00:002011-01-05T21:08:10.839+00:00This resonates with me.

I've just been to my first pregnancy scan today and am still completely overwhelmed after seeing and hearing that perfect little baby. <br /><br />It's the best feeling ever and I can't wait to become a sleep-deprived frantic new mum in a strange country :-)<br /><br />Look forward to the book club. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-35096285560688833012011-01-05T15:53:49.538+00:002011-01-05T15:53:49.538+00:00Dear Helena, I have been watching Eastenders and j...Dear Helena, I have been watching Eastenders and just wishing Ronnie would own up and give the baby back. It's excruciating to watch.<br /><br />The Actor's sister had her second daughter in November and very sadly she only lived for two days. It was awful. It turned out she had a heart defect which wasn't spotted by the hospital. I feel for anyone that has to go through something so devastating.<br /><br />It's admirable you have brought up two children and they are happy and healthy. I don't think I have the nerve to do it now as I've left it too long. I've had too much time to think about it.<br /><br />On a brighter note Damian is lovely. He went out with a friend of mine for years and is a great guy xxChristina @ Fashion's Most Wantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583201549332262341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-49755962930631511542011-01-05T10:02:39.580+00:002011-01-05T10:02:39.580+00:00Damian Lewis: be still my beating heart- he's ...Damian Lewis: be still my beating heart- he's so naughty and his red hair is so beautiful.<br /><br />The Eastenders storyline is really hard to watch, Shane Richie turns out to be an incredible actor, or is just really struggling with the storyline himself. <br /><br />Great Ormond St do very wonderful work but I know what you mean, when you go that lovely area the idea to grab life does resonate. <br /><br />Happy New YearRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-31784842160301913902011-01-05T09:59:50.499+00:002011-01-05T09:59:50.499+00:00What a lovely post, I echo your thoughts about how...What a lovely post, I echo your thoughts about how petrifying it is to come home with your first baby (my family only lived across the Pennines from me, but I still felt quite alone). It is strange that this morning I was thinking about my son (28 now) who had leukaemia when he was 2, having been born with a heart murmur and remembering how the doctors told us we were lucky - apparently he had the best type of both illnesses! A long time ago but I do really feel lucky now to have two healthy and happy grown up children and you are right, being a mother is the most important job you can do.Mrs Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280840886078748344noreply@blogger.com
