A-ha, sounds like it might be it. The one I use is more a ‘standard’ size baking tray.

If your daughter is someone who settles and makes friends easy I say go for it. The school run is a nightmare when it’s not local. We’re 3 miles away from my son’s school with no public or school transport options. Do the local kids all go to the same secondary though? Ours branch out all over the place.
We didn’t get into the school 10 mins walk away. Instead we were allocated a school 3 miles away. By the time my son was in Year 3 we had a phone call from the local school saying they now had a place for him. I’d no idea we were still on the waiting list to be honest. I turned it down though because although my son makes friends easy, he’s very sensitive and anxious and his school had been fantastic working with him to help that. I didn’t feel it was right to take him away from that support and the wide variety of friendships he has. So I think it completely depends on your child and what you think they can handle and how well they settle in new situations.
So sorry I’m only just catching up. The PTWM thread just went nuts and we all now what the Jack threads are like! Please don’t give me too hard a time in my appraisal...
I’m due mid April. I’m having other in person appointments as I’m a carrier of a dodgy gene which my child has a 50/50 chance of getting. It’s quite rare so don’t want tomyself. Whilst it isn’t anything absolutely life transforming - it’s still something that will mean medication for little one’s whole life. For the most part I’m totally fine and am extremely lucky because I’m having a very “easy” pregnancy. I’ll just have the odd day of a pity party for one!
Thank you for being so lovely and helpful. X
We have NCT classes starting next week - all via zoom though. So I’m sure that’ll help. I feel a bit like I’ve sad fished. Some days are hard but it’s like that for everyone!
Love your man update. Actually welled with tears because it’s just so wholesome.
If you don’t mind me asking, does this mean they’ve classified you as high risk? If so, despite the terror of the name high risk it is nice during covid to have a bit of extra support through things tbh :/!
You’re doing well just to have the odd day of pity party! Although today’s news is amazing because you can potentially have a normal maternity which is looooovely!! x

Interestingly- not classed as high risk. Not that I’ve been told of anyway. But I’m finding that communication is ... let’s say ... not the best. I love the NHS but the admin systems could do with a big re-haul. Probably just the PA in me. 
That the road map works and we can all have some normality restored.
On a side note is it creepy to want you to be my Mr Miyagi? Especially when you talk about how you set up systems to track patreons etc. I feel like the Gabrielle to your Xena.

Just watching the second episode of THAT MAN’S new cookery show ( all episodes streaming on All4)
I just love the easy way he cooks andhis interaction with Buddy ( and all his children to be fair ) it really warms my cold cynical child free heart

Yeh, it'll be the depth (fnarr etc). I like a chunky brownie and always have to bake them for longer than the recipe. I lean into that tbh, and bake at a slightly lower temp for a lot longer, the lower temp helps not to cook the outer edges too much before the middle catches up.
@veryfondoftea - my daughter moved schools in primary. She didn't have many close friends at her existing school, but tbh the need was driven by needing to get away from my ex-husband's proximity (45 min journey made him less likely to stand at the end of our driveway and stare at me) and my work moving. She was fine tbh, it wasn't nearly as traumatic as I worried about it being and she isn't the best at change. It feels like a tough call, but kids can be more adaptable than we think. I moved primary schools too as it goes, and it was fine for me too, but that is data from a very long time ago.
@veryfondoftea - probably completely useless as I’m old now but we moved countries just before I was year 7 age and we were totally fine. Obviously every child is different but having a support parent like you goes a very long way. 
Thanks all, that’s so good to hear
I found the perfect flat in Central London if you are looking for a two bed. It’s on top of a Waitrose and is is near the Barbican too and markets. Errol Street EC1 via the Modern House.

The floor
When I get divorced I am celebrating by buying that type of floor.
exactly what I was about to say, (if I had money lol) I would buy it just for that!The floor
Yes, it’s a rather nice floor. I’d certainly go and see it if I was looking for a 2 bed flat with 2 stories and communal outside space. Could also nip down regularly to take advantage of yellow stickered Waitrose products.The floor

Lovely floor, but I suspect it's not real parquet, I think it's vinyl - it looks very like Karndean AP01 Blond Oak Parquet in their Art Select range.
Edit: Ooh, that just made me VIP!

Just got back from getting jabbed. It's a funny thing to get emotional about, but it does feel like such a step forward.
Less upkeep then!
Love that our sheep specialist is also a flooring expert!
Love this, I find it so emotional. How will you celebrate?
Hope you're feeling ok! I felt terrible the day after mine but that subsided fairly quickly, worth it in the long run for one day of roughness
Same, got jabbed on Saturday, felt hot (like PMS heat) the Saturday night, took some paracetamol, felt a bit lethargic Sunday but felt right as rain on Monday. My temperature never went up but it felt like it had. Worth it though.
