    Hi nips

    my Lo already goes to a private nursery because I work so will not be going to preschool - will go to school next year - BUT I will be off work then because I will be on maternity leave (fingers crossed) still really really early days 6 week and 3days to be exact!! Thought I was 7 weeks but had a scan today and thats what they said all fine heartbeating ( we had IVF for 5th time so very lucky to be blessed with 2 kids!)

    Hope you are well

    nail on the head re: me being missing and scramble going hand in hand ;) :rotfl: so I'm just choosing to ignore any mentions of it anywhere ;)
    plus I'm never here 6-about 9 as 6-7.30 is dinner and Hollyoaks time, and 7.30-9 is exercise and shower time :D
    and any spare time around that is spent on Tombola - on a roll, 65 quid up in the last 7 days! :D

    something that came to me in the shower.. how did everyone come up with their usernames? obviously some peoples are just their names but wondered if anyone had any interesting stories? :) I'll start if it helps, mines from my first year in uni and is a nickname that's stuck in real life :)

    is anyone else watching Sophie on BB doing geography? that is pure hilarity!
