    I'd stick with the cheapy kettle for bottles - from memory doesn't the water actually have to have boiled first for formula? And the quick cup never gets that far, even if it is over 70degrees. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :D - I would google it but we're jsut off out to Tumble Tots)

    greent

    Ah Yes it does indeed have to be boiled first - VERY IMPORTANT......

    Momentary lapse of the brain there:o:rotfl: Enjoy tumble tots:)

    Tine - I know EXACTLY how you feel. Do you remember all my whining not so long ago on here, about how fat and repulsive I am, and how I thought dh might be 'up-to-something' with this flaming Rachael (who he kept wittering on about) at uni. Well I told him he obviously couldn't stand the sight of me and after a few 'chats':rolleyes: we are sort of fixed (although I still hate hearing about 'Rachael').....well I call getting jiggy 3 times in a 1 week fixed anyway. considering it was more like 1 jiggy in over 3 weeks before that.

    Right I am going to nip off and go to town. I think this pathetic:mad: council:mad: saga:mad: might finally be over and I can start to forget about it. Although it will probably leave a bitter after-taste that will be hard to shake off:mad::mad: They need me to sign some forms I think:mad::mad:

    :rotfl:That's how mad the whole thing has made me:rotfl:

    Nursing bras are available pretty much every where
    That was helpful wasn't it :D
    Most of them are "drop cup" where you undo a cup and the whole cup drops
    sometimes the drop bit is a flap and behind is the peep hole style
    its prob best to just look around and try a few on just like you would with any bra as the sizes will vary everywhere and its important to get a good fit

    Emlou I've put you on the list proper now :) took me a while coz I had to deal with toddler code brown which required a quick bath :rolleyes: How will I do this with a baby aswell?!?!?!

    i like the sound of an hour and 15 mins in labour!! i was hoping to be induced by now as i'm absolutely huge, bump is measuring 44cm and it should be roughly the same as how many weeks i am! but the mean people decided against it cos apparantly i have a huge amount of water and baby is average :( my OH has allowed me to carry on sitting on the sofa and in the car only with layers of towels and bin bags under my ever growing backside in case they break and i ruin something!!

    i've found peacocks good sizes for tops but trousers they're a bit skimpy on, even my maternity trousers i had to buy one or two sizes bigger!

    Tia I don't know about peacocks but if I were you I'd go for 16, mothercare seem to have got a bit big on size coz I got sz10 jeans and they're a bit baggy :confused: I'm normally a sz12

    Emlou, poor you having to sit of towels!! Silly men they think it always happens like on the tele :rolleyes: I'm unusual in that my waters going was the first sign of labour for me, they very handily went with a trickle when I was on the loo so no mess at all ;)
