Quite lucky really, only cost £2.90 for TV and internet, and it isn't that slow Kayboard is a bit little and the mouse ball on it is rubbish, but overall better than I expected. Only made it crash once!

Can't wait to get home, got big bar of galaxy in the fridge!

sami i did get told off but my aunt really is a prude although shes got 3 kids so dont know how shes a prude ... she went on to acuse me of being a bad mother because i talk about sex (by text of course) saying how she didnt want to read that sort of thing but no one asked her to go read it she could of skipped it ...
ive always been a very open sexual person ive never seen it as a bad thing and i hope zoe is open about it when shes older so we can talk about that sort of stuff when shes older... o and her going on about swearing on facebook since the day i was born all i ever heard from her mouth was F this and B that so pot calling the kettle black there... grrrrr only family eh i dont know if shes talking to me and to be honest i dont really care if shes gonna get up her own !!!! about something we all do or we wouldnt be here then let her get with it its not like i see her nosey busy body self anyway...
she just drives me mental sometimes...
sorry rant over ... breathe x

Afternoon girlies...

I'm having a good day so far... When we put the cot up, one of the brackets that fixed the base to the ends had broken and as we screwed the rest in another one broke... So I emailed the company that supplied it, didn't get a reply... We were thinking of ways round it, then this morning 4 brand new brackets turned up in the post! Not bad considering the cotbed is 5 years old...

And the raspberry leaf capsule I ordered yesterday arrived this morning too! They do look a bit sus though... I don't think you could fly abroad with them in your hand luggage

Glad to see you had a good night feelie

You get it at about 24 weeks!!

Don't be surprised if none of the health professionals find your pregnancy very exciting! My doc didn't even check to see if I was pregnant. In fact no-one laid a hand on me until about 26 weeks (they don't actually 'touch' you at your scans either!!).

...actually, my MW may have touched me at about 16 weeks to hear the heartbeat, but def not before that.

I guess that kinda good, i dislike being 'touched' im getting one of them t-shirts to say "hands off the bump" lol.

Yeah i guessed they dont find it interesting when i booked the appointment, clearly i was excited. A congratulations would of been nice, lol

Evansangel - I'd inform them formally sooner rather than later as it means they can put more things in place like your health and safety assessment etc - if you've told them informally then there's not really any reason not to tell them formally and it does give you a bit of extra protection from being fired etc... also any pregnancy related sick leave can't be "used" in a diciplinary scenario (ie you've been absent for too much due to illness etc etc - when you're pregnant they can't dismiss you for being off too much ill so long as your docs cert says pregnancy related ) Says she who's had about 7 weeks off sick in total this pregnancy for various reasons...*sigh*

Tiamai - I think some employers should really think before they put pregnant women on courses and meetings like that... I used to find it upsetting enough hearing about my ex's day when he first became a paramedic many years ago. He was a pretty solid guy but many a time he was in tears - never over adults, but wheneverthey lost a young child or baby he'd be depressed for at least a week until they had a call where there was a really happy outcome...
There are still 2 cases that stand out in my mind, one was an infant that basically had ben sent home with his parents to die - problem was no-one had told the parents (or at least made sure they understood what they'd been told!) and my ex ran from the ambulance to the A&E doors with the child in his arms having been resussing him all the way in the ambulance and the 20 steps between the vehicle and the doors the baby stopped breathing again and he was beating himself up for days until he spoke to the consultant who told him that the child would have never made it...
The other was a 10 year old who hung himself from a bunkbed... because there was still a slim chance of reviving him they cut him down and again my ex ran him in his arms to the ambulance and worked on him all the way to A&E where the doctor pronounced him in the back of the ambulance... never seen him so devastated and it took him a while to get over that...
The accidents where children have passed away always stay with the medical emergency staff, and they never stop questioning if they could have done more or better. That's why i get so angry when people are deliberately careless - they never think about the emergency staff that has to deal with them and who often are affected by it if they loose someone - especially a child - and the anger they feel at the people responsible...

Anyway - I'll stop depressing everyone now...

Ah thanks

Well my manager said write him a letter once the docs confirm it officially for me

What should i write in the letter do you think?

And also do the doctors to a pregnancy test when you go to prove it? lol.
Some people have said they dont test you, but they cant just take your word for it can they? lol
