Thank you for the further messages, peeps.

She did have a bit of a "wobble" when she went into the anaesthetic room. Until that point she'd been holding up really well but, possibly due to the wait giving her time for panic to build up. Reference the cannula thingy and epidural she was like,"I don't want any of those, you're not sticking them in me" etc etc., but mum calmed her down. And, when she came round she was remarkably calm.

And, yes Craigy, I was indeed knackered so was having a bit of a lie-in. Just getting ready shortly to go over again. I've received a bit of a shopping list from mum and youngster and will have to get a top-up voucher for my phone.

Nice one, David, re the Sunday payment.

Er, I think we have about 18 sleeps to go?

So very much nearlier, nearly there!

BOING!!
