Can you stop talking about KFC please... my last one was not nice:mad:

I never washed any of DS's baby clothes after I bought them... he's very much alive with all bodily parts still intact and working;)

Am I bad mummy to be for not intending to use those sleeping bag thingies??

Even if you're going to BF if you sign up to some of the formula milk companies you get freebies (SMA muslin cloth for example)

I'm feeling poo and I'm in a bad mood:(

Come on then... who's next on popping out their bean???:D

Nikkit – CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:T:T:T
Huge welcome Hassle and any other newbies I’ve missed during the week :beer:x
Gill – Was amazed to get my grant too and only posted it off a week ago – nice surprise! I Can purchase the cot mattress now!:T
My most common dream is that my tummy is like a balloon, really thin and transparent and parts of the baby are pushed out and visible, mainly the face and I keep telling it off and to go back in as it's not ready to come out yet – very disturbing!!!:eek:
Som – you are quite correct. I am a maternity receptionist and it is the system that causes us 99.9% of the problems and of course the restraints the managers are forced to put on us. :mad: Human error obviously plays its part in every part of life & work and not one of us is perfect.:p
Just a thought, I don’t want to offend anyone :silenced: and I understand we all have different experiences along our journeys and just watching the news reminds us of the failing of our health service, but regarding the comments about the NHS staff – most of us rely greatly on their services and most staff DO know what they are doing. Becoming a mum can be especially daunting and it can be quite an anxious time as it’s all a bit unknown. Just thinking that maybe being a bit more sensitive wouldn’t harm :whistle:, although I know with the amount of experience and helpful hints ladies who have had several babies can give is invaluable. :T I'm on No. 3 and certainly don't know it all yet - in fact since my last baba 10 years ago, so much has changed!:beer:
Isn’t is amazing how quickly the list moves up!!! I was last on the list once lol!!!!
Redstararnie – you are so not old at 34!!!!! Rose tinted ….36! Get away, you’re not classed as old either lol! If you are I’m flipping well ancient!!! Jopsey _ I beat ya in the age race and lets say young rather than old!! I’m 40 years young lol!!!! And you’re right Som – it’s all in the mind and I still feel like I’m 21!_party_
Labour vibes to all those that need it am off to finish catching up with all you chatterboxers! x

**confuzzled**

Oooooooo Kelinik you are an angel:D:D:D Thanks ever so much:D Yay I now have something to do to waste my afternoon:T:T :cool:

Somnium

kelinik - I really like the change mat in the sainburys/huggies pack so have swapped it for the one that came with my change bag. Have joined pretty much most of those clubs I think, the only one I found a complete waste was toys r us, they just send the same few offers over and over and tbh were no use in the first place. Cow and gate have never had anything from and yet SMA have sent me three packs!

LMF - Thanks, check was fine all is well and as normal

Kindof - My OH isnt into curry either and tbh am a wuss anyhoo and only like the mild stuff. How the washing going? I have a pink load going atm and a white load all washed and dried waiting to be ironed. Oh stop talking about food, I just wanna eat everything atm. Oh and we have that bath support, picked it up at the car boot

xmas - have never been given that book, but think I may have a copy of it downloaded, tho its not the same I like to have these things to look thru.

Confuzzled - How about these clubs too..Mothercare Baby & Me, Emmas Diary, also some of the shop websites like JoJo Maman Bebe will send money off vouchers and catalogues if you sign up with them.

smartie - it doesnt make you a bad mummy, maybe just a lil less paranoid! Each to there own imo.

BSM - yeay for your HIPG too and love the attitude I'm with you

Well 39 week check was all ok as expected, and all just a formality tbh. Went to work after and picked up a highchair for a work friend of OH using my discount and collected my wage slips. Seems the money I was missing last month has pretty much reappered this month..bonus Also had a nosey around the clothing, not that I need anymore but some of the new summer ranges have come in and there uber cute. Work asked what I wanted with my collection money , but as I have everything now we agreed on vouchers. Am happy with ones for work cos I can use my discount then
