Two thoughts occurred to me in the last 12 hours...
Next time someone asks, the baby's either going to be called Beowulf, or Grendelina :)
More soberly, the next time someone bitches at me for not sending my mum a birthday card on Friday, I'll gently point out to them that they left her to dehydrate in a pool of piss and vomit on her living room floor. Ergo, if I hadn't carried her into hospital on Monday afternoon, the money spent on a card for Friday would probably have been somewhat wasted.
