    Can I ask a nosey question why are you being induced, tell me to F off if you don't want to discuss it. I would highly advice smaller babygros as El was 7lb 8 but was still to small for 0-3.

    Keely It's nice to see you in here, I was trying to remember your user name the other day coz I was going to ask after you but I couldn't remember it, I even went to be thinking about it!!!!

    :( you sing songs about my untimely demise?

    I thought we were friends :p

    I thought it was more about the old style way of things ;)

    1/2lb of tuppeny rice
    1/2lb of treacle
    mix them up and make them nice
    POP goes the weasel

    a penny for a spool of thread
    a penny for a needle
    that's the way the money goes
    POP goes the weasel

    I have no idea what the popping of the weasel actually means *runs off to google it*...

    ....well apparently it referes either to low wages of menial workers - and the pop is the repetative sound of their looms, OR, it is old cockney rhyming slang for pawning items for money.

    See it is all about old style:p

    I'm going to add a new verse

    A project for a cot bumper
    A project for some play cubes
    that's the sewing weezl does
    POP goes the weasel

    whats wrong with a corsa :p

    Just everything really :p

    Glam, I got through 2 packs of 10 in the 8 days I was there plus 8 night time regular sanitary pads, but I had a section and only bled for a day or so before it was just the thick discharge. 30 breastpads in that time too.

    As for clothes, why not take 1or2 of each size and leave a bag of spares in the car then send oh out to collect the right size?
