Yeah, they are having a nice time I think thanks PW. We all went to soft play with friends this morning. Can't believe they are 2, it's gone so fast. Enjoy your new boy whilst he's tiny as I'm sure you are well aware it flies past.

Awww just the thought of a newborn is making me all broody again...

(no Bolton gear for either of them though, do you think I am totally stupid?! They're junior gunners!)

[TANGODANCER]

Well done to you both PW. Lots of fun to come.

Hope the breastfeeding gets sorted PW.

Nah, I can't condemn one of my children to the life of misery that is supporting the trotters. I'm a loving parent, why would I inflict that on a child?!
