Thanks so much for the supportive comments - they really do help. LBTEPA's evil whiny twin has had her splash in the self-pity pool and left the premises for the moment.
I’ve just come back from the bike shop. The mystery clunk that has enlivened recent rides has been fixed. I consulted several brainy friends as to its probable cause so as to not appear a complete nuffy to the all-knowing bike shop blokes. I don’t think I fooled them though! It was a bearing in the axle – spot on J., and Chris from work, well done! And I found out that my 13 year old bike is actually far too big for me – so there you go. The bike bloke adjusted my seat to the ‘right’ height, which will feel very odd when I ride tomorrow!
*UPDATE: it felt very odd, but in a more efficient and ergonomically better way*
Noddie-the-germ-magnet has come home with yet another disgusting plague so we are all a bit peaky – Noddie had a two-hour sleep this afternoon so I could have a nap myself (thank you God), and the poor Spousal Unit is asleep on the couch after I pumped him full of echinacea and vit C. Speed training at the gym was really hard, but there was no other time I could thrash myself into a beetroot-faced lather under those oh-so-flattering fluorescent lights amidst throngs of youthful single-digit body fat types, so I had to go then. And now it’s done I can eat pizza and drink smugly instead of guiltily.
Does anyone know how to put a table in the sidebar? I’ve come up with an insanely complex and ridiculously gung-ho exercise schedule and I want to keep track of how often I manage all the sessions.
PARENTS ONLY NEWS: (don’t say I didn’t warn you) – there is wild excitement in our house because NODDIE HAS DONE POO IN THE TOILET EVERY DAY THIS WEEK!!! Praise has been lavished and many chocolate frogs bestowed – I know, I know, food rewards = food issues in later life, but we were desperate…and I can intoduce an intermittent reinforcement schedule from here on…..and she can always write a book later about how I ruined her life and make heaps of money (*looking on the bright side*)
More anon, friends :)

Well done Noddie and congratulations Mummy. It won't be long until you can reclaim your life and leave that huge and heavy nappy bag at home on all your outings.
We were eating at a restaurant yesterday and a young lady came in with her baby and all the asssorted paraphanalia! We just chuckled as we remembered when our daughters were little! Potty training was at times frustrating but man, once they were trained, life was grand!!!!!!!!
Yay for Noddie, adjusted bike seats and Vitamin C....Oh, and a big Yay to you for gyming it when you were sick AND with the bunnies! Go you! Did you enjoy your pizza?

Only just found it thru blogger, haven't tried it but it should work from what they say...
Actually, this is a comment that my mother used to make to me after the book, "Mommie Dearest" came out. She'd say, "put it in the book". Then when my children became pre-teens and complained bitterly about me, I started saying it. cheers! :-)
