Sorry to hear about the incident in your town ragz. I've not seen it on the news as I avoid it if possible.

Terrible those press people. Awful human beings. They'll say they are doing their job, but their job is a choice.

Nice to see you back on the thread!
Yes I avoid the news too as I hate hearing about stuff like this but unavoidable when it's on your doorstep!

I can't believe it, there was a reporter outside MY kids' preschool just now, hanging around evesdropping on the Mums talking about it, then he waited for me and accosted me afterwards to give me his card (cos I'd mentioned to my friend that my BM had a row with the Mother once).
Cheeky git!
And the helicopters over the town aren't police, they're press, what on earth do they thing they'l learn by flying over the town all day!
Whole town is in shock and the press are like F'ing vultures... :mad:

it is terrible i dont think they have a concience (sp?) the reporters knocked on every door in our road wanting information or just stood chatting amongst themselves!! at least the police ask for information to help towards the case not just to make money!! :mad:

I need to get organised again! :rotfl:

I remember when I was a little boy (yes, I know it was a long time ago) a yellow helicopter used to fly around almost daily and my grandparents said it was the helicopter for when someone had gone missing.

Never liked yellow helicopters since.

Oh how awful Ragz! :sad: I just read the story and it nearly had me in tears. I also hate seeing the news - the world can be a very horrible place sometimes. I hope your best mate isn't too upset and you can both find a cheerful subject to talk about and have a nice coffee and natter together. I hope your baby comes soon I come on every day to see if any babies have been born I am so nosy

Right...back to me being [STRIKE]organised [/STRIKE]... sorry that should be dis-organised this week

My morning sickness has come back a bit this week and my bump seems to have gone 'pop' out of nowhere. This happened with my ds! He would have growth spurts which would make me feel ill and then my bump would grow over night every few weeks! lol! This one seems the same! It also seems to be nocturnal :eek: and kicks me at night, which ds never did. he was a good sleeper as a new born. I don't think I am going to be so lucky this time!

I put the housework off cos I couldn't be bothered and dh was going away with work so I usually do a big tidy up when he goes away cos I can then keep it like that but I didn't do any housework last night cos I didn't feel like it. So I must write a list now and get on with something as ds is having a nap. I must also do some cleaning tonight. I will write a list to motivate me to get off my big bum and give me lots to cross off tonight and I can feel pleased with myself. (Ragz I will add the stuff I have already done so I can feel a better already lol and cross something off now!) lol

New item to add to list - Spend £50 on baby!
My Dad called from Scotland and asked if I need anything for baby, said I couldn't think of anything so he's sending me £50.
Already spent £5 of it on some fitted Moses basket sheets as I just realised I don't have any. Now I'm wasting the afternoon on ebay looking for things to buy...

Or I could just save it towards nappies etc...

Ragz I think it's Asda that have a £5 voucher when you spend £50...

think the cotswold co sell those stair baskets......as for bottles I always do a batch with water let it cool and just add sma when needed, whats wrong with that? I thought that was ok?

i need to do this challenge, I am so bad at organisation though funny cos everyone else thinks I am organised. I procrastinate alot. Potter around and get nowhere fast, I need to learn to speed clean and find homes for all the clutter cos nothing has a home.
