DS1 barges downstairs 'Christopher keeps trying to cough on me to give me swine flu!'
DH and I burst out laughing, and DS1 looks at us disgustedly 'What?! It's not funny, it makes you ill!'

And no amount of explaining that in order for Christopher to give him swine flu, he first has to actually have swine flu would calm him down. The school has been giving them a talk.... :rolleyes:

Well I can't be as smug as Krystal but although my cycle is back including the pains I just have more dc no bleeding so that's not too bad.

I wish I knew what I've eaten/drank that's made Ed so windy!! he stinks!! I'm having to feed him in a sort of BN way so when he arches his back every 5 seconds he doesn't take my nip off

Oh my lord. I would be parking there all the time just to pee them off. Hubby would go beserk!

Our neighbour goes mad every time and she doesn't even drive! PITA even stormed into a neighbours garden to "tell" them to move their car out of THE space because she wanted to park there.. Honestly, she's an absolute pest!

Were you also sent a voucher for a free bowl? I went yesterday to buy a tv cabinet to take advantage of the £10 off coupon, collected my free bowl priced at £5.99 and that coupon scanned at £9.99! :T

Oh, don't know about a bowl.. will check my vouchers again I think I got one about a sofa cover too.

Elle - AFAIK, if there is a car blocking the way of a fire engine they will just barge it out of the way! Not sure it would work with police/ambulances though. Is it worth speaking to CAB or someone (maybe collectively with neighbours) to see what your options are? Or maybe see if the councill will put double yellows allong the entrance to the road so there is space to get in?

Will see what response we get from the council - have emailed them to find out the procedure - then get something done about it. We do actually awnt the kerb in front of our house lowering so we're going to see if we can have it double width which would mean she was parking over our drive

I'm getting increasingly p'd off with the thought of OH's mate coming round. Keep thinking of the types of things he'll say which will get my back up, like about breastfeeding (he's a complete letch!) and how he'll rant that HVs and doctors know nothing.. :rolleyes:

I also really CBA to go through the whole story of Rhys' birth again and particularly to them who will need every single medical bit explaining to them (no point in saying he had kidney failure when they don't know what kidneys do - or probably that you even have them in the first place!). Mum suggested I tell them "It's in the past now.. If you'd bothered to come round before he was 14wks old I might have been in the mood to go through it again!"

Grrr.. what did I do with that chocolate?!

Elle, our situation is a bit different... But hubbys best mate hasn't seen Caitlyn yet either... Hubby has suggested to him we all 'meet up' next weekend... He has to arrange a meet up because his so called friend would never come all the way to our house to visit... Might interrupt his drinking time... It'll be a pub we're meeting in too... They're the kind of people that take their kids to the local every night and sit there drinking while the kids go to sleep on the seats... And the only thing I've ever seen their kids eat is McDs... Probably because it's next door to the pub...

Did just do a post but computer is not very compliant today... But Buttons... I got my neice an R4 card with 2gig memory card for £15 from our market the other day... If you have a local market, try asking on the mobile phone or electrical stalls...

Do you not need some sort of adapter type thing to put the memory card into the DS, cause I'm thinking the memory card goes where it accepts GBA games?

A little while ago a few people were saying this thread is a little intimidating to the pg thread members. Does anyone know why? I'd really like to know if there's anything friendlier we can do.

For me, I found it easier to join here, because sami was here and she'd already been so nice and welcoming on the pg thread;):D

It's very good that glam and jillie want to join us tho :j:j

AngelFairy I was thinking about you earlier. I was struck by the homesickness you've been feeling. Sorry to hear that I wondered if you had any sense of what it is about the type of friendships that you had back home (not sure where that was, sorry ) that you're finding it hard to find here. IYSWIM?

I was remembering a friend who tried living in Canada for 3 years. At first she felt super-welcomed, but after a while she felt lonely. She's quite a thoughtful person, and managed to figure out that in the UK female friendships have to her always become a 'deep' or 'proper' ones after both women have said about things that they struggle with or feel a bit insecure about.

In Canada, she found that those weren't really the sort of things which lead to deeper friendship, so she felt a bit lost.

Possibly a not very useful story, but I thought I'd share it and see :D

Button, the old one was a card and a doodad to go in the bottom, the R4 is just a card like a game.
