2. Attend to baby when not at work

3. Eat when possible

Published literature suggests that this phase lasts approximately 6 weeks, if you haven't thrown yourself out of a window before then. 3 weeks and counting, then....

In other news, a headline on the BBC news web site today reads "Muted Response to Shetty in India". Proof yet again, as if it were really needed, that the rest of the world views Big Brother as an irrelevant load of old cock.

Makes you proud to be British, innit?
