    We've done less swimming than I meant to Aless, but I just used the local swimming centre parent-and-baby sessions. No "teaching" going on, but one of the pools warmer than normal and barred to everyone but parent and young child groups. Very nice :)
    My local was Tooting Leisure Centre but there were others around which did the same.

    Is there a London slingmeet on Thursday?

    I looked at Tooting but can't find where it says parent-and-baby sessions, can you point me in the right direction as this would be ideal for me. Didn't realise you were so close :D

    Will we see you at the sling meet?

    Who was asking about police? My OH just finished his training at x-mas :T he's in transport police though.

    MFD Hugs hunny. Isn't it great that Benjamin knows when the worst possible day to cry when you leave is! :rolleyes:

    BM I read you in a Scottish accent too. It's like reading Trainspotting but funnier! :rotfl:

    3 - you have 3 children and I only have 1, how are you up to date with the ironing when I'm not?! Don't you dare speak to my DH or I'll be put on performance review!!! I'll put it down to practice for now ;)

    Its my super-duper steam generator iron. It's changed my life! :o:D
    (Krystal have you done your ironing yet?)
    (Don't tell anyone, but i've also stopped ironing socks and teatowels and stopped putting J & L in clean, ironed pj's every night!. I'll try to stop ironing knickers and vests next - i've got to do this in little baby steps! :o)

    omg!! who else finds the 'Tudor Rose' ad just as annoying, if not moreso, than the market lady???

    Yes, me too! I was wondering what had happened to the market lady the other day. She must have just been a Christmas thing?

    Yeah, I totally should write a book.

    Chapter 1: How to survive the nursery run in a deprived area.
    OMG I have actually been in tears with laughter reading this!! How funny!
    My area has an equal mix of chavs and snobs, and I fit right in the middle, so god knows where mine will fit in! Although Seth wont go to nursery cos his CM is registered to take him for his free hours and I'll just send him there instead, so it'll all be waiting for me at school I suppose!!

    3 - oh dear me. I see I've hit upon your ironing obsession DH thinks I'm funny for ironing pj's and bedlinnen, but other than that I just do, shirts, dresses, anything 'cotton' but not 'jersey' and certanly no under-garments!

    (my cleaning obsession is the kitchen worktops - not that you'd know that right this second!)

    SOunds liek you are doing well though - well done x

    Right bathtime for little munchkins.

    I forgot - i've also got no shirts to do anymore which is helping. I did have 5 or 6 a week, but OH's new uniform shirts are that strange football shirt material that doesn't need ironing. :j

    I've PM'd you :)

    I think I need to develop a cleaning obsession :( I used to pride myself on being a Monica but since Seth was born I CBA!! I only really hoover every couple of days, and rinse the bath and sink out every day cos the cats like to get in them and drink the water straight from the tap, I'd be so ashamed if someone came round before I'd had a chance to gut the place!!
