AM, that's terrible of them! There's a little boy on Aimee's lessons that cries the whole way through every lesson but they still persevere with him!

Evening all!

Been for a walk around the village with DH this afternoon - still nothing doing. Was hoping to find some Raspberry Leaf Tea because I am just about out but nothing doing. If I am feeling brave I might pop into Wolverhampton tomorrow!


As an aside - has anybody noticed that tins of chopped tomatoes seem much more watery these days or is it just me??

I'm back!!

I last posted on page 53.. which means I have another 53 pages to read to catch up - lordy, I'll be back in another week!

Hope all's well with everyone. Off for a read... TTFN xx

Thats the one I have been having Emlou - have been through 4 boxes but I am on my last bag...there isn't a H&B in my village and I am getting v tired to be trekking through the city centre. Will see how I feel tomorrow. It may be that going somewhere where I would hate for my waters to break may be enough to encourage Bubba to come!!

I don't use chopped tomatoes, I always use the whole ones and cook them till they fall apart... Jamie Oliver recommends it

Tia I'd be tempted to look for a registered Childminder if I were you.
I know you may have trouble as one son has special needs but I know if I were a CM I wouldn't turn away a special needs child without first finding out exactly what extra care would be needed.
The CM I used when working was lovely, I still see her at mum n toddlers and she offered to have Chris overnight if I needed her to while I give birth :A

I can't afford one though! I don't work and as of May I will be a carer again. Will work something out, there must be someway of getting childcare in these circumstances.

I can't be bothered with the peeling these days though Krystal - especially for a quick and easy spag bol! I use whole cherry tomatoes for my special tomato sauce or for soups but the skins get a bit tough on bigger tomatoes so they need peeling IMHO

Hubby is building Bubba's wardrobe :T

My Mum will be dropping everything and walking out of work (if she is there) when she gets the call :rotfl:Its a good job she's well liked and established in her job! We spend a lot of time with my mum n dad so no worries for me they know how to do everything and what time to do them etc.
Mum also has a key to our house and a carseat in her car so if I forgot anything important either that I need at hosp or for Chris while she has him she can just go and get it herself
I have no idea how I would cope if we didn't have family to help, I suppose I'd have a HB but I'm not keen on HB in my case coz I'm a bit of a stig of the dump so would spend the whole birth apologising to the MWs for the state of my house!:o

Sami, I could have written that post (except for the HB and stig bits! :rotfl:.Oh, and my parents are retired ). As it happens, both of mine were obviously induced so no need to mad dashes anywhere which, in the end, I found quite comforting.

My parents have both of them on a Mon & Thurs afternoon and would have them more if they had their way, but I don't want to take advantage .

I meant whole tinned ones lol... Never peeled a tomato in my life
Actually I will this month because I found a recipe for minestrone soup in the slow cooker and it calls for 3 fresh tomatoes...

Just had another row with Aimee... When did she start arguing back?! Right after I told her she was behaving well enough to have her happy meal for tea too... (I've decided against the big mac... It will be too cold by the time it gets here and I can't face it microwaved... Have settled for chippy tea instead )
