Sounds fab Toto. Quiete jealous.

Borders in administration? Another victory for the supermarkets. I did well to last as long as I did.

Sandwiches all made. Bored now.

Hi guys, mum and dad are back from their holiday and have the milk monster/piccolina for an hour. I'm SUPPOSED to be doing my housework but the lure of MSE was too great to ignore and voila - here I am.

Toto - glad the placement is going well and that you're having such good fun! I met a retired midwife yesterday (at baby clinic) and she was telling me that she'd kept in touch with her first baby to the extent that he was invited to her retirement do last year as one of her guests of honour!

Ames - so tempted by the borders administration to see if they've any bargains but I really can't be arrised going into town... although better to go this weekend as first bus are planning industrial action for the next three Saturdays (4th, 11th and 18th December) in Leeds and I don't fancy trying to get pushchair on and off a train!

pap - if you're lurking / on later, I downloaded roboform and was able to enter half a dozen comps really quickly yesterday so thanks for the heads up aobut it.

hugs to everyone (whether or not you need or want them)

I'll certainly never forget my first. Although it wasn't ideal for the mum (she had a retained placenta, PP bleed, 2nd degree tear, prolapsed cervix) it was amazing for me because I got so much from experiencing those complications) The surgeon came in and taught me how to repair, he did it so well I feel totally able to have a go next time, in fact half way through I wanted to shove him out of the way so I could get sewing

It isn't the same as my old job, but, it was nice to get that adrenalin rush again. I feel less sad about moving on from music now.

When I did my obstetric rotation we were only allowed to watch unless we got a night duty midwife who was prepared to supervise us when no-one was watching. Never did get to do a delivery and would have loved to do at least one!

There's loads of other stuff I should do - clean cooker hood for instance, but I'm going to do wjust hat needs doing before Monday starts! Mum and Dad arrive late Tuesday and I'll probably be out teaching when they get here so everything needs doing now because as soon as I wake up Monday morning there's no time for anything until I wake up Wednesday morning!

lunchtime list update. Sigh.

Big shop has arrived from Asda so that's all put away.

I'll probably either do potato cakes or little doughnuts for the Hannukah bit of class. From what I've already read up, the frying is part of the symbolising of the oil used which burns the candles for each day.

lunch eaten, farmville tended to back to the housework :rolleyes:

Afternoon all

Busy saturday morning as normal here, whip around the house to tidy up, washing on, swimming, piano lesson and now I have to trapse to Yeovil to get DD some sparkly black tights as her role as the "star" in school nativity! Also need to go to the dreaded Tesco as the cupboards are bare but have no money apart from the small amount of savings I now have left..seems to be going down and down and with no prospect of replacing it feeling a bit :eek: and sick about it all.

Toto I am so pleased you are enjoying uni/course/hospital, I truely believe you will make an excellent Midwife
BB that list is def too long for doing this weekend...when's your next holiday?

My HD quidco was also refused but im not too bothered as I got free diamond charm for nothing.

BB - I felt like I'd achieved something for getting up, having a shower, getting dressed, giving (little pickle) piccolina her breakfast, and then washing pots & pans, sweeping kitchen floor, vacuuming living room floor, dusting fireplace in living room before collapsing on sofa! Your list makes me feel liek i should move my bootie and do some more housework.

Hope you get your list done.

Nothing to stop you bookie you could do an 18 month course... and before you mention age, there are women older than you on my course which is 3 years
