I second the Asda rocky road!

And Kiddisave in Walsall have quite a few different nursery furniture sets in different shades of wood... Some lovely dark ones too... But I'd never buy nursery furniture... Just get normal stuff...

Weather just took a turn for the worse whilst stood outside school... Didn't help that a friend of mine told me to hang on while she grabbed her child... We stood getting rained on while they went on a school jumper hunt... The resulting conversation was, she'd pop round in a bit... She could of told me that before the rain soaked through my coat!

Krystal, I agree about the furniture but living here there are no shops so everything is on the internet so I'm having a bit of trouble trying to match stuff up. Was considering the I Love my Bear cotbed with thishttp://www.cdiscount.co.uk/Furniture/bedroom/f-445-181925.html as the lady at toysrus said it is not a red brown as in the photo but a chocolate brown.

That's lovely Tara! Its a shame you can't get samples from furniture stores lol... I do love the cotbed too... Although the drawer underneath is the same as the drawer under Aimee's cotbed and I just found it a nuisance... It would be much better if it was 2 drawers...

ooh I'm sure the stats I found awhile ago said the average gestation for 1st timers was 41+3 and thats today for you, isn't it? (my maths part of brain shuts down the second that little swimmer hit an egg in my case :rolleyes:)

Oh no! This would mean my noogle would be due on Halloween!

for good under cotbed storage I've got 2 fabric boxes from ikea they're royal blue with a red lid reinforced with wood I think (its hidden) and fit perfectly under Chris's bed - they don't show on the website but I'm sure I've seen them instore recently

Grr! Why are my Midwives so blurgh??!! I've had 2 appointment now at the childrens centre and ech one the MW are so unengaging and sh1te.. they make you feel like such an inconvenience by being there. The student did the usual checks, wee, bp etc - the proper MW looked through note and down through her glasses at me she did ask if I had any questions and looked throughly put out when I said yes. I had to ask for my MAT B1, I'm sure she rolled her eyes when I asked for HiPG form, and god, I really put her out when I asked if she had any information about the classes they offer. :mad:

Anyway, I rang hubby when I left the centre - told him they were !!!!! and so un-interested, then I got a tap on my shoulder. It was the student MW hading me my notes back I then went on to trip over a curb and fall over, whilst on phone still. Stupid me- trying to balace handbag, carrier bag, stupid blue folder, the n otes I was handed back and the phone - landed on my knees :rolleyes:

Off the catch up!

Does anyone know if you can get the HiPG forms from anywhere other than your midwife? Ours wouldn't give out the forms until the 1st april and now surprise surprise they haven't got any as they only ordered a few packs (surely they know how many preg women are on their lists!) I've still not managed to even apply for the grant and I'll be 39 weeks on wednesday, be lucky if I get the money before baby starts school or even at all.

Also can we not have anymore births please I'm getting far too close to the top of that list and I need to get a big shop in at the weekend before he arrives!

makes you wonder why some of these MWs are in this game!

Just a quickie - when is the next MW appt after the 20-week scan - can't remember if it's supposed tobe 22 or 24...

Claire - you can register direct on directgov I think (I've set up a reminder)

Easypeasy

If your midwife or doctor doesn't have any claim forms, please call the Health in Pregnancy Grant Helpline on Tel 0845 366 7885 and let them know. The Helpline will arrange to send a form directly to your midwife or doctor, who will then give it to you to make your claim.

Unfortunately the only place to get them IS your MW... but you can help the process along...
