    i had to read that twice before I got it!

    Good Luck!

    My second and third were elective C. sections - I'm not built right for having babies apparently. it's a very strange sensation opening your diary and discussing available dates with the consultant .......but it makes childcare much simpler....

    Just seen that the Beeb have a summer sale 60% off of loads of stuff including box sets.

    http://www.bbcshop.com/icat/summersale2009?curpage=1

    Theres a few Doctor Who series Boxsets and Top Gear ones too (both from £6!) might be good for OHs or Kiddies.

    Also some older stuff like Dads Army and nature stuff like David Attenburgh which might be good for that tricky person you dont know what to get for!
    Dont be put off by the first page as there is a box set for £70 Eeeeeeeeeeeek!

    Thanks pips mum! I had a quick look last night and ended up with £71:eek: although somehow one of them was 3times! I have reduced it to £31 and need to have another look in case I can reduce it more:D

    It was really odd. I was expecting to be told when to come back and start the induction, but he offered me a choice of days. I'm still attuned to the UK system; all this choice is so weird to me.

    And thank you, and to rufus, for the good wishes.

    Hi everyone, just dropping in briefly to let you all know that eviction notice on my sitting tenant has been served and if she doesn't vacate voluntarily before Monday I'm sending the doctor in to get her out by force.

    Due date is Thursday, but I'm not allowed to go over by more than a week and Monday seemed like as good a day as any.

    Took me a while there too! lol Love it. Not long now! Loads of luck!!!

    Took me a while to get the gist of that as well......:rotfl:lol

    Well, not done much today apart from looking again at the coffee recipes that sarah put on the other week..........found some little plastic pots (bit small so I'll have to alter measurements), covered them with some brown/coffee sort of scrapbook paper I'd got then found some coffee art images on google that I'll stick on them. Got bit carried away looking at them all.............lol

    No sign of sarah -hope she's ok.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
