Here's a question. What do you cook for a dinner party when your guests are three of your best friends, when the sole purpose of the dinner is to find out who's pregnant? And when the cooking of said dinner has to be timed around the bedtime routine of two small children, at least one of whom will start climbing the walls if he realises that Beth is in the building and isn't playing with him? Is it OK to slap down a plate of sandwiches and see who avoids the pate and the soft cheese? And how do I get rid of Stephen for the evening, yet still have childcare on hand in case of sudden revelations?
Oh the trauma.
