why? (been out of the loop for too long, but assumes something to do with moving house?)
The lovely mrs mike is not too bad, was in hospital week before last for 4 days due to loss of appetite and weight caused by her blood/sugar levels or some such thing being out of kilter.
She's ok now, but the Midwife has told her to get signed off work for a couple of weeks to take things easy and see how things progress.

so will be giving b3ta a rest whilst I settle in and make them think that I am hard working and efficient! House is sold (subject to contract and all that, but it's all moving along nicely) and offer made on a new one (3-bed, mid terrace, v.nicely kept). mrs munch has decided that if she doesn't like her new job, I should knock her up after the first year (this is increasingly likely, as we're buying the house to settle down in, and she wants kids before she's 30).
Fingers crossed for mrs and mini mike!
