Morning all, i'm hungover.....
We had a wiked night though, OH dressed up in my clothes for the craic haha
But my mate ended up in hospital cos he fell down the stairs at home, he's ok, just cut his ear and got lods of carpet burns.
I found it highly amusing when his GF told me this morning cos eveytime we all have a sesh he gets wounded!

Claire, the injection suited me, and I had it for about 4 years. It took a long, long time for my periods to return to normal afterwards. A lot of women experience weight gain and lack of sex drive on it, but I don't know if my huge weight increases were down to that, or the masses of cakes I ate. Is there a non-hormonal coil? Would that be an option?

In was told that it makes you want to eat, so the weight gain was initially down to the injection as it made you want to eat the cream cakes!
I'd never have the depo ever again, i ballooned when i went on it it was rediculous!

Hi All

I can't believe how busy this thread is!

3 - I can only talk for my situation, but I am so glad we changed Kai from a CM to Nursery. DH was always concerned about the 'childminders have their own life' issues which was actually proven when we turned up to collect Kai on his first day with the one we had him with! And although she banged on about the fact that Kai was not on a one-to-one care basis in nursery as he was with her, this was not exactly true anyway as she had 2 other children during school hours and after school she had additional kids as well as her own two... At nursery he is on a three-to-one basis and there is always two nursery workers AT ALL TIMES in the baby room...so two adults to deal with any situations that arise(nappies/feeds/upsets) Plus the benefit of being around other kids his own age, which wasn't the case at the CM's. It really is a matter of personal choice, but we also were chatting to a friend who has a friend that works as a childminder and she was telling us that the kids her friend minds literally get taken around to peoples houses/out shopping etc...we decided that a home-from-home enviroment was not actually what we wanted.......well not when it was not our home iygwim!!

I am feeling a bit down today - It's my birthday and I am now 30!!! I miss being in my 20's already and have a bit of the birthday blues. It doesn't help that dh is out at Uni, the kids at school, and Kai is fast asleep so i'm also feel a bit lonely.

This is why i would never use a CM (no offence to anyone who does) but I see a couple down the school, i dont see how they can manAGE to look after their own children plus numerous others on their own out in the street, I just couldnt risk them taking their eye off them while they are chatting away in the playground/down the shops etc.

Aston thrived in nursery, i would not hesitate sending Ry-ry to a nursery if i go back to work.

Me too - I put loads of weight on, but the doc. said it wasn't the depo, it was too much cake. It was strange because I don't like chocolate really - but really craved it and ate loads with the depo!

I bought a sealed money saving pot from the Chemist the other day

Are you sure its sealed? We had one and when it was full I was about to attack it with the tin opener, when OH said why don't I just take the bottom off! I'd not noticed you could!


Everyone is up except OH who's sleeping off his night out. Hmmmm - how long should I leave him in peace?
I've no idea what time he came in, I popped DD's dummy in at around 2ish and he wasn't here then.

it was a nurse who told me it makes you think your hungry or something.

Morning, I now really want a McDs for breakfast!! Wonder where I got that idea from :rolleyes::rotfl: Only problem is OH doesnt drive, so I would have to go get it myself

Dylan didnt wake up till 8.45am which sounds like a great lie in doesnt it?? Well it would have been but Jasmine woke up at 7.15 :eek::eek: She never wakes up that early !!, I stayed in bed for a bit while she played but eventually gave in at 7.45 and got up and made her breakfast.

Tunnocks are great and the equivilant OH sends for from Ringtons!! MM malt loaf with some peanut butter on

I dont like peanut butter Or Nutella, so in my house I am a freak :rolleyes::rotfl: they are probably right.


I am taking Jasmine to get a shape and polish later on our nails as a surprise!! She has been quite good recently and hasnt really asked for much, and as she doesnt know we are not getting her the TV she has asked for for her birthday, we are doing her room instead, I thought this would be a nice treat

Anyway, hope you have a great holiday sami,:dance:
Hope you get some sleep Glam, but heres some coffee in the meantime :coffee:
Make sure you eat something today elle
Thats a good start to the savings buttons, even if it wasnt intended :rotfl:

I slept in til 10am though! :j

Oddly, so has OH - why can't I do that on a normal day? :cool: Ah well, if he's rested too that means we're in with a change of getting some serious sorting done today

Croissants for brekkie, yum!
