    Went in once, didn't find it particularly "nice" (or am I a snob? I'm used to the huge Asda at Eastlands) :rotfl: But I drive past every fortnight to go to the hospital, that's my chosen route except at rush-hour. Will PM you.

    It doesnt make you a snob, it makes you normal! I get home deliveries from Eastlands rather than shop in their, it truly is hell on earth :rotfl: I nip in to get fresh bits when Im inbetween big shops and Im 'the strange woman that carries her baby' :o Three checkout staff so far have said 'oh, x said there's a woman who carries her baby. It must be you!' while Im just trying to pay for my milk.

    Does anyone have any nice bread recipes for a breadmaker please, or can point me in the right direction? My aunties just given me her old one so I need inspiration. TIA

    It'll be snowy till March or so. I used to be able to see the Alps from my apartment, but then I moved into the city centre and now all I see from my bedroom window is the tree with the berries on in our courtyard.

    Hopefully the governor will be able to speak sense in a way they'll hear and understand.
    :eek: Sooner you than me. Bit of a view comedown :o

    Hopefully the governor can help. He'll have to put everything in unjoined writing and add diagrams for them though, I think.

    I'm actually a regular poster on here but didn't want to admit to attempted suicide and self harm on a public forum which could be read by anyone. It hadn't occurred to me that anyone would think I was a troll but on reflection I can see it is quite an obvious conclusion to draw. If you want to know who I really am, you are welcome to PM me and I'll PM you back from my regular account.

    Been trying to catch up for ages but keep getting distracted. A few things I wanted to add: Have you found out what this is? Erin gets a raised rash on her bum which my book says is thrush so I treat with canesten but she doesnt get blisters. Erin had oral thrush but the HV wouldn't give me any treatment for my nipples because she said if I had it it would feel like razor blades cutting when I stopped feeding.

    Thanks for asking Jenny, I still don't know - I now have a stinking cold too so feel I shouldn't go to the GP's surgery as it isn't urgent :(

    we walked to a friends house today which is about 5mins away. LO wore her reins and we walked holding hands - it took us almost 20 minutes as every lampost and bush was very interesting ;)

    How lovely, i love to see babies walking along and watching them explore x

    Jillie, I have no experience of suicide but i really for you and the rest of your family x

    Definitely give lunch before you go, it is on for about 45mins and if she is anything like Kai will be non-stop for the whole time!!

    We have a few babies who are 13 & 14 months old, Kai is about mid-range all the babies in our group are crawling and two of the three older ones are walking.....I think they will most likely move to the next group after half term. The next group is from walking to 2yrs I think they said?

    I hope you enjoy it anyway.

    Angela - Maybe it's worth trying a couple more times but if she still doesn't like it then it might be best to leave it until she is more mobile. Maybe she is getting frustrated?

    QUOTE]

    I paid a block of 8 so i'll try for another few weeks, if she still cries i'll just have to write it off but hopefully she'll get used to it.

    Still catching up as ive been back to bed for the afternoon. Took Rose and she has a good 2 hours. I also think she may be teething ( tho ive thought that for months now) as she's been pulling at her ear. Back to catching up x

    Bad mummy moment, just realised Isla hasnt been feeding for a few mins. Looked down and she's spark out asleep with one hand over my boob as though to say she's had enough :rotfl: Best log off for a while as OH's banging around the kitchen. I'll probably be back later when the footballs on.
