It should run on more or less anything. Have fun!

I’m hoping and praying that this game doesn’t run on a black MacBook. Or I’m in trouble. As is dudelet. And I love the idea of a giant Neep.

I suspect that next year things will have changed.

Hi Simon,

I was tipped off to your blog via a contact on netmums. Congrats to both of you on the birth of Emily, she is beautiful! We were just diagnosed at the 12 week scan this week with an acardiac twin so its a relief to find your positive story out there. We are now playing the waiting game til next scan on the 29th Dec. Fingers crossed! Did you guys manage to find anybody else going through the same thing? All the best, Helen.

Comment on The Alternative British Citizenship Test by Jon

The whole citizenship test is one big trick question, as a real British person would take one look at it and declare that they aren’t going to do that.

I’m trying to work out if the wobbly lip was Tom’s or yours???

“This was the day that Tom learned life doesn’t revolve around him…” Erm yeah, there’s a certain little one over here that’s still to learn that lesson!!!

Ditto this.

The closest I can come to relating is in the way I interact with my two cats. The younger one was adopted first (by a week) and when I’m honest, he’s my favorite (he’s more intelligent than his then-5-month-old brother and was only 10 weeks old when I brought him home, so we bonded harder). But I love both of them.

The feeling of being “usurped”, by the way, doesn’t necessarily have a time limit. I’m the younger of two girls and am not proud to admit that I felt “threatened” by my nephew’s arrival. When I was 20 years old.

I had exactly the same thing, and for a while there I even prefered Amy over Evan, which made me feel very guilty indeed – but I couldn’t help it.

Once he got a bit older and more interesting it all sorted itself out though.
