    that is lovely MFD -- and very true. just need to apply it now :-)

    recommendations ladies/men,and i know i have asked it before, but the time has certainly come .... cots and mattresses ..... i dont want to get a cheap mattress for the sake of it becuase i am wondering if LO would sleep better with a good mattress. i have been looking at kiddicare/mothercare/argos/ikea ...

    trip home looks to be january so hubby can come (causing many many arguments) ... but then that depends on me changing my return to work day (and going to cost us a whole lot more in flights and no wages for me == unless i go back for a bit and then take time off)

    AF - EFF the cost and do what is best for you and M and V. Work your work stuff around the trip - you know it makes sense. Much better to go home with hubby than try and do it alone...you know how hard it was on your own when you were pregnant, never mind with a 10 month old!!! OMG - our babies are going to be 10 months old in January!!!

    AF thats great that hubby might be making the trip with you.

    it's the only reason i will wait until then (not happy though), so that he can come with us. hate that his boss will 'win' (childish i know) though. i said to hubby he can ask his boss for the extra £500 - £600 it will cost in airfaires

    hi elle,

    With non-mummy friends, I just tend to nod, smile and gloss over everything we have to do, then if I (absent-mindedly) mention medication, their eyes pop out their heads.. :rolleyes: I just say "appointments", not exactly how many we have nor how many needles they waft at him :o

    Never talk about how hard the expressing is (or rather the finding the motivation and time for it) or the guilt and stress and all that jazz... Save that for you lovely lot! :cool:

    scruffy, blood test tomorrow morning but that's becoming routine now so hardly worth mentioning :) No other apps apart from jab at home on Thursday, I think :)
  • same here elle, everyone asks how Dylan is and I really dont have the patience to explain everything, so just say he is geting there and leave it at that !!

    I wish I had been more open on the pg thread when I was on there instead of worry myself silly as I wouldn't dream of burdening RL people with my worries......

    i know it makes more sense to go with hubby but i am just so mad with his boss about how he has been. if i go in jan but dont go back to work before hand i am out of pocket a few months wages too which annoys me.

    freaks me out they'll be 10 months by then. think i have the naughtiest girl already, dred to think what she'll be like at 10 months :D

    After quite a few years of Bootsing I don't give two hoots anymore! :D (and simply buy a few other bits and bobs to disguise my mega bargains ;)).

    I received £10 worth of points for a 50p spend last week (and did it twice! :cool:).

    scruff the only reason i dont tell RL friends coz usually they gloss over and not interested ....... when i talk about how broke i am but the kids need things i usually get ignored then they show me how much there bag cost or what guy is the flavour of the month x
