Thanks Sami

I don't care where we get it from, it's just that Mothercare is the main babyshop by us but they always try to sell you the most expensive version :rolleyes:. Think they must see us coming!!. First time parents who don't have a clue, & when we say it twins....the £££ signs appear in their eyes :eek:. Will have a look on Kiddicare.
If anyone has any advice we appreciate it

We ended up with a £75 matress from Babies 'R' Us - as it's a cot bed we wanted a decent one that would last a little while I would say it depends on if it's a cot or cot bed really... if it's something they will be using for several years then invest in something better than a cheapie matress - but that's just my view

I'm not going to comment on what you might use the dog for as I think we'd disagree rather strongly if it involves breeding

Still poop with pain yes... less sleep but the pain is managable during the day now there is very little driving or sitting in offices. I try to walk around a fair bit at my own pace but standing too long is excrutiating! alledgedly I have been referred to physio again but they are SO rubbish at giving you appointments so it's been nearly 2 weeks since I was referred... grrrrrrrr And still no appointment.

Hohum...

no more breeding for us, just what we used to do when we had a pedigree English Springer Spaniel, we bred misty (lurcher) once but she made a much better auntie than mum (and seamed to have lesbian tendencies ) so we didn't do it again and we had Meg spade as she turned into an escape artist when on heat so we didn't want to end up with her having pups too young/too close together/getting run over on an escape:eek:

I would like to breed doggies in the future but I'm not sure if i ever will as I think the breed standards have gone too far but I shan't start the breeding debate or we'll be off on a tangent for ages

I'm sorry ur so uncomfortable why is it when u get referred for something small that ur not too bothered about you get it really fast but when you really want it it takes ages :rolleyes:

PS sorry I wondered off then Chris decided to remove is poop filled nappy and drop in on the carpet :eek: and then I got distracted by sock monkeys

Not caught up properly yet,I just scanned for news on AM. CONGRATULATIONS on baby Ryan (lovely name btw!) hope your recovery is quick n easy xx

Had a lovely day at Brid yesterday, long day as expected though as couldn't get away from work till 2pm..we got home just before 10pm! Then I couldn't bloomin get to sleep. I had a coffee in Mcdonalds at teatime to keep me going as tiredness was settling in..well it kept me going alright-till gone midnight! So Im tired now, and also just had bad news. A friend from work has lost her fight (very short fight) with cancer earlier this morning. My hearts going ten to dozen and I wanna puke..is that shock?

Morning all

There's tumbleweed rolling through our office today - and it's sunny so it makes it even worse to be stuck here!

We now have shed base thanks to efforts of Dh and Dad - I had to be in official wifey mode and do cooking and cups of tea, which as you may guess is not my preferred role lol! DH is very excited now - moving into phase 2 of dad2b DIY campaign, bless.

Speaking of cotbeds, we got a Cossatto one off ebay for £30 but were planning to buy a slightly better mattress for the reason Mrs T gives. Probably mid-range though, nothing too flash - we are MSE-ers after all!

Really sorry about your friend Helen. X

Bad nights sleep. Seem to lie awake worrying about allsorts at the moment. Have you heard from AM again Sami?

mountainlioness

helen - really sorry to hear about your friend - hugs.

It sounds like shock though am not speaking from experience... You're going through something traumatic so it may just be that you need to go with what you're feeling and allow your body to react to the grief. It must be so hard but it's a natural reaction to the shock of loss. Please be easy on yourself and give yourself some time and space to deal with it.

Our thoughts are with you

Not been on for a while but will give update soon but firstly - big congratulations to AM on the birth of Ryan - happy safe arrival!

Tine, at least you got reffered to physio... I told a midwife I was in agony walking and she just smiled and nodded... Nothing else has been done!

With regards to mattresses, Aimee had the bog standard one that came with her cotbed and it is still fine... Even at nearly 5 she didn't weigh enough to dent it...

Sorry to hear about your friend Helen...

MrsTinks

Helen - yes it's probably mild shock Don't worry it's normal hun. Anyone dying whether expected or not will usually spark some shock and beign pregnant we do react a little stronger than we might normally
Having gone through 4 bereavements this pregnancy I would recommend that you take some time to just sit and think - cry if you need to - sometimes loosing people who aren't even close will trigger emotions relating to previous losses or even fears of loosing people or in some cases dying yourself.
Have a nice bath and some chocolate, go out for a meal with your OH and have some you time. Loosing my aunt triggered a lot of crying even though we weren't that close because I realised that something could happen to me and I might not get to see my children grow up - and my way of dealing with it was to make sure that Roo and DH will be ok if something happens to me...
Everyone reacts differently to people passing away and it's never easy so don't feel bad about getting emotional or upset about it.
