    hi all - thanks for the kind words.

    mel - thats what worries me about insisting on a home birth. that i'll get someone really begrudging who just see's me as a pain in the bum. your experience sounds like a nightmare - a good or bad midwife experience really shapes the way you feel about birth/children etc me thinks.

    managed to push the app back to 9.30 so at least i'll be able to drop coby at school and todd's going to go to a friends for the morning. I hate all these appointments lately as our hospital is such a nightmare to get to.

    inked - yes think am going to go for the birthing centre - although as for hosp handing out drugs like smarties, mine may have done had I actually seen a midwife while i was there with ds2. apparantly I wasnt in labour and didnt need pain relief/support/examination - erm the baby born a couple of hours later proved otherwise! I hope to get a midwife who actually listens to what I'm saying this time :)

    hiya, sorry to but in :o but when are you due? i'm being induced next tuesday 10 days early with third :eek:

    if anyone reads this, and can grab anything, superdrug online seem to be doing 341 by accident on 342 gift sets. it is on the grabbit board now lots sold out but worth keeping an eye out. I got 3 lynx sets @ 7.99 for 7.99 for the 3. Might help someone out.

    It was mad on there, everytime I put something in the basket, got through to chekout and the items were sold out, but have managed to get 4 x Marilyn gift sets, and 2 x pebble soap dishes. All went through, so fingers crossed they will honour it all.

    Thnak you in advance xx:T

    Scattymam - havent seen one but I think I would like one for my and my unborn/unthoughtof child:D. It would be lovely to read a nice one to him/her in 10 years time :D I will have to make do with reading to my OH in the meantime!! I have plates for a house I don't have an garden ornaments for that house, so might as well get a book for a baby I don't have :D (ok ok the books for me...:D)

    Mum2one- Hope they do honour it, but they will be majorly out of pocket so can't see it myself. I ordered a couple of lynx gift sets, didnt go mad, if I get them its a bonus, if not, no skin off my nose :D Couldn't be bothered attempting anything else, baskets were going mad!
