And Relax...
So, with two weeks to go before the firstborn is due, I'm back in employment again. MTV phase 2 starts up from Monday.
This has caused a massive rethinking of my future plans - one that's so massive I now realise just how much my ambitions and worldview had needed to shrink in order to cope: I can now drink the emergency-only champagne in the fridge; I can buy some new champagne for when the firstborn arrives; I can go to restaurants again; I can start buying CDs once more; I can put money into my pension; I can get new shoes...
Gosh, there's nothing quite like having the rug pulled back under you.

Congratulations seems somehow unoriginal . . . but congratulations! :-)
