Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

When people are told of the impending addition to the family, I'm hearing a lot of "What do you want?" The reply to which is manifold. Apart from the obvious which I can't bring myself to state, separate beds, a quiet life, no stitches, a live-in nanny etc. run a close race. Given the size...
