Or Tasers, if Cras works in a genuinely scary office.

Teasers! It's malteasers in bar form. And each segment looks like a bum farting in the bath.

We have a new starter in the office who's from Malta. My opening gambit was "Would I be ok to refer to a group of people from Malta as Maltesers?"

Smooth, I'm sure you'll agree.

Ok, let's try this!

It is nice. It is like you've got lots of teeny tiny mslteasers all mooshed together.

Or I found it better to imagine I was 190ft tall and they were all normal sized Malteasers that had become embedded in a melty chocolate lake (like in Willy Wonka) that had burst it's bank when I stamped on the chocolate factory (it was an accident... I tripped

) and which later solidified.

Had a phone call of my new Manager (based in That London) to talk about the email I sent him regarding my position at work.

The email was sent a couple of weeks ago so I assumed he was going to brush it under the carpet, but no.

He said I am now a Senior Graphic Designer and he'll be in touch with HR next week to sort out my new pay.

So that was nice.

Just had my official letter and new pay details.

Works out that they've given me a 15.4% rise.

Child number 2 will arrive around 28th of April next year

Had a 13 week scan Friday and all was good

My wife is having a rough time with morning sickness though, but hopefully that should pass soon.

Does this continue? Is having 8 kids effectively no work at all?

I had been told that by a few friends with 2 and what they said made sense.

Recently my wife's friend (who has a boy our sons age and another one 6 months) has been round twice and burst into tears on the doorstep as the 2 of them are driving her nuts

So not sure now, that said will just have to get on with it!

Malc · **Posted:** Mon Oct 24, 2016 22:09

Without wanting to put you off, and congratulations btw, but I have found its more like the Fibanici sequence:

First kid is difficulty 1,
add 2 for the second to make it difficulty 3
Add 3 for the third to make a difficulty of 6
And then add 4 for the fourth to make 10!

But then it's the same for the satisfaction and joy you get back too.

That's not the Fibonacci sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence is:
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89 and so on and so forth.

Oh yeah,triangular numbers that's what I meant. Not a good few maths days for me

. Couldn't add 3 4 digit numbers and then take away a 4th on Friday, and now I mess up twice on Fibonacci!

My son has had a high temperature for a few days, last night he woke up at midnight and insisted I got in bed with him. I tried to sneak out when he was asleep a couple of times but he kept waking up saying "Don't go Daddy" then went back to sleep! So this morning was chaos and I was later into work.

Was thinking how much more chaos this sort of situation will be when we have a small baby and my wife will have less time on her hands!

You just suck it up and get on with it, because you have no choice.

(Seriously, if I can do it on my own - token Gaz gets to watch I guess - then I'm sure you'll both manage

)
