Of ...A very belated than you for all your comments. Of course my husband made it back, toddler terror has returned to normal levels of mischief and the throat and tooth have recovered. I'm afraid though it wasn't all a happy ending. My engineer husband, who is the most detail-oriented person I know, turned up, or at least he didn't but his luggage turned up a day later, with the much-vaunted Mad Men DVD. Except it was Series 2, which we already have and have watched. 'The man told me it was Series 3,' he says in defense, despite the fact that it states very clearly in large lettering on the cover that it was Series 2. So I've ordered it on amazon Honestly, if you want a job done - or indeed want a present - sort it out yourself :)<br />Mary - sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to your comment but I did see the results of the survey you referred to and completely understood why Norway would come out tops for mothers. It's a shame we're leaving...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840475795135915167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-34803062729199984942010-05-09T09:11:49.973+02:002010-05-09T09:11:49.973+02:00OMG.

I felt like I was right there with you through your misery, except you made it kind of funny for me, which was way better than how it was for you, I know. LOL about your toddler sensing your weakness. Hopefully he learned about "karma" when you recovered. :-)<br /><br />Glad you're better. I dig Mad Men, too, except I constantly want to smack Mrs. Draper in the back of the head. (I'm only into Season 2, so maybe she gets less annoying?)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432497142155757992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-48669330475245774982010-05-05T03:54:58.097+02:002010-05-05T03:54:58.097+02:00Hi, I'm a first time commenter, found your blo...Hi, I'm a first time commenter, found your blog through a friend. I was journeying through your writings, and when I went off to read the news, saw this: <br /><br />"Norway headed the list of developed countries at the top of the list of best places to be a mother, followed by Australia, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany."<br /><br />Here's the article if you are you want to read:<br /><br /> http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100504/hl_afp/healthwomenchildrenworld_20100504085825<br /><br />I'd be interested your thoughts!<br /><br />Best,<br />MaryMary @ DisneyPrincessRecoveryhttp://disneyprincessrecovery.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-86258718059266073192010-04-28T00:16:19.817+02:002010-04-28T00:16:19.817+02:00So sorry for your truly shitty week, root canals s...So sorry for your truly shitty week, root canals should be compulsory for banking officials who squander gazillions of taxpayers money, maybe instead of prison sentences trainee doctors with shaky hands can pratice root canals blindfolded? It could be like the stonings of days of old except it would be played out on video for You Tube as a deterrant for social deviants and social deviant wanabees (me for minister for defence yah) but the only good thing about root canals is that they are good for your figure (temporarily). Good luck with the move xxIrish Mammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757346514998427835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-15554828890663402722010-04-19T22:35:50.669+02:002010-04-19T22:35:50.669+02:00It's miserable being ill when looking after sm...It's miserable being ill when looking after small children, and being on your own as well...poor you. The only tiny good point to this is that you have accumulated a pretty hefty store of martyrdom points which you can deploy when you need to blackmail your family in the future.<br /><br />Much sympathy.Dothttp://kenanddot.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-36762552278292937632010-04-19T18:41:06.568+02:002010-04-19T18:41:06.568+02:00*gobsmacked*
