Thanks! We've had a few close calls since, but she's off tomorrow afternoon, so with any luck we'll have made it through the whole holiday without upsetting my mum.

When are you back to Belfast? If you can be arsed with all the trains, Cat, Ed, and Sam are coming down to my flat for a cocktail party, and it would be lovely to see you. Lots of effort, though, so I understand if you're only there in spirit.
