    Morning all I woke up looking like a hamster, and can't really open my mouth so called in sick. Its not that bad and I feel quite quilty but after talking on the phone yesterday to a mate my face swelled up and was painful so I am figuring teaching(ie talking) all day is not the way forward.

    I still feel odd after all the pills too. sighs. guess I should have breakfast.

    Is it from the implant site Buffy?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    If it's come up all of a sudden and is also red, feels hot and tender to pressure the site may be infected, I'd get it checked out!

    Have you been taking antibiotics at all?

    Morning all,
    Luc - glad to hear your little one is sleeping 4 hrs + already! That's great! I'm hoping mine will do the same when he finally arrives...(I'm 39 weeks now....)
    Cat - what is it with baby furniture showing up damaged or incorrectly? We had a change table show up with a change mattresss that nowhere near fit the actual table. :mad: We brought it in to our nearest mothercare store and they were very kind though - they let us choose ANY change mat of our choice! :D We thought it might've been over the top to go for the most expensive one....:rolleyes: so decided on a mid-range one instead...

    Today will be a quiet day for me, I'm fighting a cold :mad: again! (3rd one since being preggo!) and want to get lots of rest.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Unlike microscopic dust mites also found in beds, bedbugs – Cimex lectularius – are a quarter of an inch long. They travel in clothes or luggage, hiding in small cracks and crevices during the day, making them difficult to see when guests check into rooms.

    After reading internet complaints from foreign travellers about bedbugs in British accommodation, The Independent obtained records of complaints in 2008 at 12 cities, London, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, :eek: Leeds :eek: , Bradford, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Belfast.

    Aaaaaargh!
