I’m an auntie
SiL had a little girl (Amelie) last night. I’m getting rather broody myself though it’s a bit soon still for us. Meant to say, as dusty pointed out I got married in Jan so have lots of tips for anyone who’s interested!
How often should you have a smear? I think mine was within the last 2 years, but I’ve changed doctors through moving so not sure how to find out
Denise / jinky – I had a lot of headaches before my wedding when I was moving etc. I found India head massages helped a lot and they are loads better now I am much less stressed.
Dusty – do you have a pilates dvd? I’d like to start it too.
Shell – I think places like JC+ don’t open properly til 10 sometimes – but I may be wrong?!
Another sleepless night here too – not me but DH which meant I got woken too! He ended getting up in the end between about 2&4am to watch tv! Am on my hols now but determined to both relax & fly so will post my list in a sec, and WM is already on with bedding in.Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
Thanks for your help AnW's Mum. Hope I havent upset you with my questions. But stumped 'cos Mum is over in Spain I am left trying to sort out all the cack here - which if you could just talk to a human being should in theory be quiet straight forward:rolleyes: .
Just worked out that 'cos she was born in 1952 she will not get a state pension till she is 61 and 4 months old - great 6 years to go!:rolleyes:
And no I still have done nothing except hunt for phone numbers, ring them, be put on hold and then given another blooming number that does not exsist - fun.0 -
