Hello there! I'm still alive, although it feels like we've been through the wars a little recently; sleepless nights, teething, colds, etc. But not all bad, last week was J's birthday and we went to the imax in Birmingham to watch Avatar to celebrate while Aunty Boo babysat for us! Also last week, one of my best friends moved off to start their new life in New Zealand. Hi Joy and Danny *wave*. Now, I have a small confession to make - when Joy told me she was pregnant, what now seems like a million years ago, I started knitting a blanket for their ickle bebe. This was about 22 weeks ago.......I haven't really got very far with it......

Its in a lot better shape than it was at the start of last week, I'd only just made a start on the orange! I've figured out I can probably get it finished before the little chap arrives and have it sent to the other side of the world too if I keep up an average of 3 rows a day. No mean feat when you have a 6 month old with a terrible cold who will only snooze on her mummy. Each row has 150 stitches and takes about 15 minutes to do, so I just need to find 45 minutes each day.....anyone fancy some babysitting??!(!)
