I think all of the schools down your way are off next week.
Nor sure about up here - think they only have a long weekend - but I might be wrong (not having any sprogs myself!!)
I have been trying yet again to run stuff off the organized home site and it still wont print for me - something strange going on!
I think SS supergirl's DD is a chip off her Mum! (couldnt say 'the old block' she might throw something at me!) It just shows how well brought up she has been - she is a credit to you babes!! xx

Here this is the seller I bought from and they do differnt quantaties, btw the synthetic ones are apparently the best one, the paper ones just rip quite easily.
Mine are great I think I bought 20, fast delivery and fine to use with the plastic seal so when you remove you don't blow dust all over yourself.:D
Actually these are more like mine as they have the blue plastic bit on them.DFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08

Dusty, SarahShattered, Triker, Glamazon - thanks for all your kind words and hugs. I know I have said it before, but it means a lot; you are all so thoughtful and kind xx
Toots - thank you for the pm. You have been so supportive explaining about the illness and the treatment, and you also always make me smile. Despite dealing with all the things going on in your life, you always make time for everyone else. You are a very special person xx
Quillion & SarahShattered - thanks for the advice; all suggestions are gratefully accepted! I have been drinking lots of milk the past few weeks. I don't know if you can call it a craving, but I have wanted (well needed is a better word!) milk and eggs! Boiled, scrambled, poached, fried, hard boiled - whatever way they come...I'm not fussy! I have been waking up at about 4 in the morning, so I have been getting up and having some milk and a dry biscuit, but with no luck I have tried ginger capsules, biscuits and drinks also. Fingers crossed it will start to ease off soon, otherwise I will be having words with baby when we finally meet
xx
Glamazon - thanks for your post. I will definitly pop over to the pregnancy thread. I can imagine it is really helpful talking to other ladies, who are going through the same thing. There are always questions to ask and things to find out about.. Hope to see you over there soon xx:smileyheaFlybaby Due 1st December 2009!:smileyhea0 -
