Weezl - get yourself out and buy a car seat today...THE most important thing. I know you are planning a homebirth but they won't let you out of the hospital without one. I wouldn't be sleeping if I didn't have mine all sorted now.

P-Massage - I honestly can't reach I am struggling to wipe myself these days (still trying to convince myself that I am not the size of the octopus woman)

Hi MFD,

OK that was the convincing I need! :beer:I asked a friend to get me the mothercare £49 one, and she said I needed the £250 one, so now I'm stumped! Maybe I'll just text her back and say better to have one now than to save up the £250 cos he's due very soon!!! :eek:P.S why won't you get to use your lovely nursery? ;)

LOL re reaching your own Perineum, I can manage it a bit myself still, but DH is much better at exerting more force, and making sure I really go for the burn! Sorry again if TMI . Reaching-wise, I get more fretful about not being thorough enough after a number 2, does anyone else worry about this? Not that you might want to admit it online!

As for seeing P massage as foreplay, he did at first, but that was when we thought it was just like other types of massage, all relaxing and gentle. Now we know we're actually trying to make a mouse hole into the channel tunnel with our bare hands and a drop of oil, well, it's a bit too brutal to make either of us feel loved up!

Thanks for the advice re seats sammi! You are very knowledgeable. :A

sugarspun thanks too for helping me see sense on the priorities! Just about to do another batch of food in the 5.5 litre slo-cooker, and have pal in town getting swiss ball and tens pads for me. So I do listen to your voice of reason!!!

Ladies, 'Turgid','flaccid' and 'moist' are all lovely words, but I fear they are forever tainted by the sort of books I used to read in my teens :eek:. And I can't quite think of them in other ways

Love Weezl x

It's taken me since 4pm yesterday to cath up with all you ladies. For anyone else planning on going away for a week - don't do it, you miss too much chat on here

Congratulations to caz - glad you got you interweb back before the big arrival. She is gorgeous!

Hugs to triggles and anyone else that needs them.

Nothing really to add from me. Had a nice relaxing week away in Edinburgh and Ayrshire. Got my 16wk MW appointment on Monday and my downs bloods on thurs!

Time to get off the sofa and make some brekkie...

Thats why biology is so much fun

Why do you need a £250 car seat? :eek:

LOL, £70 is my budget.

Oh that's good! It seemed she was saying she'd done all the research and the other ones just weren't safe enough.... DH has just said that's what the British standards logo is there to test for, so we can just get the argos £34.89 one, so I've duly reserved it! When are you getting yours?

Good morning ladies - just got up! I'm a lazy !!!!!! - got a horrible headache so trying to drink lots think I might be dehydrated.

Guess what? MW will be so chuffed, I managed to drink 2litres of water, eat my 5 a day and I am trying to get my OCD under control. :j
She offered to refer me to Mental Health team but I said I would try Self Help first. Wish I had cleaning OCD and not checking electrics and locks OCD. Can take me 15 mins to leave the house after checking everything 50 million times - took me 5 mins yesterday after telling myself to get a grip.

We have our friends coming over tonight as they have shipped most of their stuff off to America and have no cutlery left so I need to blitz the house but can't be bothered to move.

Tia - is that your dating scan on the 11th March?!!!! Mine is on the 12th and I will be exactly 12 weeks couldn't have asked for any better. Althou like you said you will be able to see more.

Sami - hope you and Chris are having fun camping out for the weekend!

Weezl - If I was still in Cardiff I'd be round like a shot, I don't know any other people outside of work and OH's work so I am hoping we can meet some people at parentcraft. Hoping to find a first time mum like me who wants to go back to work part-time and we can watch each other's kids to save on childcare. So, not going to happen but I can dream :rotfl:

Sami_Bee

Weezl - I'd say a maximum of £120 is required for the first seat, I had the Silvercross one last time that was £75 but I wasn't very impressedand had to replace it as Chris out grew it too soon :rolleyes:
This time I have the Maxi cosi one which has RRP of £115 but as I have time I got it cheap of amazon (£65 ish)
These link will help you find which seats deff fit if u get maxi cosi or britax (they don't test all cars so if you have an un common car it might not have been tested)
Maxi-Cosi fit list
Britax - Fit-Finder

Glam my SAHM friend offered to look after Chris for me when I was going back to work so you never know!!
Although you won't be entitled to the childcare element of WT Credits if you don't use a registered childcare provider.
I'd look after your little one if we manage to move to ashton any time soon xx

Oh thanks Sami - are you planning to move to AIM soon? I don't really know Wigan but it does seem a much nicer area than some others I have been to, which I won't name just in case you live in them.
If you are interested in a good mobile hairdresser who is local to AIM let me know, mine works at a Salon but is going mobile evenings and Tuesday's - she's really good. It's my managers daughter.

At 25 I feel like a relatively young first timer until I read stories like these

We were originally planning to move to AIM this year but due to this lovely current climate we can't but as soon as things pick up we will be looking.
I wouldn't be offended if u said my area was rough coz it is! that's why we don't plan on staying for long. Chris will hopefully be going to primary school in ashton so we want to be there ASAP really.
I get my hair done at Rebel that's attached to total fitness, they are lovely, been going to the same guy for about 5yrs now thanks tho x
