THE BIG ONE
There's no other way to say this, so I'll come right out and say it. YMOTG and MYTW are expecting a BABY! I'm too giddy with excitement to talk too much at the moment, and I've been busy chatting to my old mate Michael Jackson on how to be a good parent.

I've been told by MYTW that she has invoked an age-old Thai 'secret-womens-business' ritual to transfer the morning sickness from her to me. She is adamant that it works, and that I should tell her the moment it starts working. I'm out for a celebratory pint or seven this evening, so it may well end up coming true if I feel nauseous and green tomorrow morning.
Too bad I don't live in Northampton - they have some even stranger ideas about family planning it would seem.
