Baby can wait

Soppy moment alert: sometimes my wife quite unwittingly says things that remind me why I love her. Such as today when we went for a final scan on our unborn baby, which is due to arrive next week.

The consultant said that if the baby does not arrive on time, we should make an appointment to see her for an assessment on October 20, to which my wife indignantly emailed me: "But that means I'll miss the Comprehensive Spending Review."

I'll have a word with George Osborne's people and see if he can delay it...
