:) the layers tip is pure genius. perhaps if I'd listened to you I wouldn't have turned up to work for the last 6 months covered in podge :).

:D I give the hamster about 3 days before the cat gets the spanners out

eeeeek! Great post, I wish I'd read this before I got myself knocked up :). I fantasise about sleeep. Also, I can barely cope with The Fear when the cat disappears for a few hours: I imainge with the baby it might be a teeny bit more intense.

The only slight consolation I have is that I've already accidentally ruined anything vaguely expensive I have through sheer carelessness, and rest is the cheapest of the cheap so getting peanut butter sanies in the own-brand dvd player isn't going to be *terrible*.
