A friend of mine did it and said it was fine and actually quite useful. She's still a super speedy driver though - and she met her husband there :rotfl:

It must have been fate making them speed, so they'd meet on the course! :rotfl:

I'm a good driver now, honest. OH said if I get caught again he'll cuff and punish me. See, the power has gone to his head already. :rotfl:
And in my defence, the road I was speeding on did used to be a 50 before it got changed to a 30 a year or so back. :mad:

GMTV are talking about a homebirth gone wrong.

Watch or don't - depending on your situation.

Thanks Susan...he's doing it right now again but it's only been occasional so far. Oh also, can you not just get your rings re-sized? Or they sell those plastic inserts to make your rings fit smaller, I think. My thing with weight is I might be the same number, but I had quite a lot to lose before I even got pregnant, so I have to fight the same battle as everyone else!

SS - prolly not what 3 wants to hear, LOL.

Hi SM thank you for the kick up the bum x Hi Glam thank you for sending your best wishes. Feelie, I am so glad you and Toby enjoyed Nanny time.x

Hi to everyone else, I do keep up (just struggle to communicate) .
Oscar is nearly 6 months old and a joy to have (most of the time). He has 2 teeth ( and I have ordered a Sophie on all your reccommendations) and seems to be hitting most milstones.
Dawn

Lovely to see you again x

While i'm here and hogging the thread anyway, i have a question.

Has anyone, or anyones naughty OH been on a Driving Course after a speeding fine?
I've been offered one; the choice is 3 points and a £60 fine, or attend this half day driving course for £88 and get no points.
I'm just curious as I don't know anyone who's been on one.

My sister's naughty OH has, he said its boring but worth it to avoid points, they also gave him freebies like keyrings saying kill ur speed and gave them a map of all the speed camera locations in the area.

Handy to have for future reference.

it's the woman from the article the other day I think. She's gonna be on This Morning.
We've been discussing it on the rad mid group but I doubt anything will be cleared up on tv unless they get a half decent MW on to comment

oh it's on now and its the midwive that think breast milk is like cola *rolleyes*

DH has a day off today, but has gone off with my dad to take delivery of our new pollytunnel at the allotment. Izzy is asleep. I am having a well earned hot chocolate and a sit down

Morning all. We were up at 6:05 this morning - felt like a lie in after the last few days, and I forgot the forum was down. I'm sure I had something really interesting to share with you all too, but never mind. It can't have been that important if I have forgotten it.

Having a productive day so far - DH and my Dad have been playing with Izzy (plus after me pointedly putting the hoover by his feet DH hoovered, and my Dad did the washing up too... ) Still got washing to put away, wet washing to hang out (when it if finishes) and another load to do. And lunch to make. And there will be more washing up later. Seeing as paper plates aren't very mse .

i appreciate that all working mums will feel this way but how do you get passed it?

not even sure if this is a good idea to post this as it's a bit personal, but i just dont know what to do.

You are allowed to do self indulgent posts when you need them. That is what we are all here for - to give each other support, and ask for it when we need it too

I've kind of had the same thing at my work, although not as bad as you by the sounds of it - I've come back to redundancies, and lots of stressed and very !!!!!y people. (I'm not sure if they are more !!!!!y than before, or if I just noticed it less - I'm sat with some different people now, so maybe they just weren't so catty when I was within earshot before?)

You are right to keep your head down. Remember you are there for the money, not for the social stimulation (you get that here :rotfl:).

I have to keep telling myself she is better off with me at work than with us being reposessed ... although I have to say that it does help knowing she is having a fab time at nursery/with my Mum, even if I wish I could join her I think having a bit of independent time away from Mum is no bad thing either - I'm sure they learn all kinds of useful social skills that way.

I forget if you've gone back part time or full time? Is there any possibility of reducing your hours? Or starting to do job applications for somewhere else?

My Dad had to go on one a while back - I think his was a two day one. From what he said it was very patronising, and run by people with a sense of humour failure (I think he got a stern look or two, because he is a born heckler :rotfl:) Better than getting points though.

Morning all

3, my cousin has been on the course as he is only 21 and didn't want the points at such a young age (just like you and me! :D). Said it was easy...

I would definately do it if I were you
