Home and away we go
Ok, so we're indoors now. At home everything seems like it will work. I'm ready for the times when I'll have a bit of a wobble. I know who to call if I need help and I know my fella is trying his very best. He’s a treasure – but if he offers me one more cup of tea – I'll bury him!
Is that world cup still on??

Home Advantage
Got my new family back home, sooner than I thought, but all is good - breastfeeding - another skill of women that I'm in awe of. It seems to be working, hard work and a LOT of practice and I feel like I'm getting the supportive role right. Kudos to me! Nah, I'm joking, it's a fine line I think between being encouraging and realistic. We both want to do the best by the little fella and as long as I keep that in the back of my mind and a cup of tea and a biscuit in front of my hero, my missus then we're all good. Had to have a word with both our families and we’ve agreed that they hold off visiting for a day or so till we feel like we've more of a grip on the situation – and that we can string a sentence together without wanting to fall asleep.
World Cup Football – what's that??
