This one is particularly violent especially if provoked... I hope we don't have to deal with anger management issues right from the off! Anyway, I am 10 days away from D-day and I can't wait. There are no signs of imminent labour, so I am sitting tight. I made 50 Christmas cards this morning, and the freezer is full of goodies. I could bake more - anyone know if you can freeze flapjack?
