    Bit late, but my parents were the same age (both 1953) and DH & I are near enough (him 1983; me 1984).

    DH is now annoyed at me b/c he has day off today and Finn just went down for nap, DH put him down literally like 10 seconds ago and then runs to me wanting a little...mid-afternoon recreation if you get my drift...Jeez, desperate enough?? I don't know why that annoys me, but it seriously does.

    Oh, my parents 1944 and 1947, OH 1965, me 1979.

    :grouphug: Mel, extra trouble's the last thing you need.

    Statement completed, now waiting for 26 minutes so I can convert my statement to a PDF online and submit my job application. It would probably be easier to download a PDF converter. Maybe I'll do that next...

    Weezl or SM, or anyone else around that does cake with stork - I've got a cake in the oven which I've made with stork, and the outside is lovely and brown and cooked but the inside is still runny and not even very hot!! Is this normal? I've made it a zillion times, but never with stork before :(

    meant to be fantastic now, all nice facs and plenty of room for dads as well. friend had their LO there and said it was much better than Fairfield (where i had K and she had her prev 2). although with the care i got on the wards i have to say they were fab too.

    bolton are doing a whole new maternity area which will be 'state of the art' when its finished next year.

    have to say though, i doubt there is one mat unit/hospital that doesnt have bad reports.... all depends on your own experience

    I am starting to wonder, cos something didnt cook properly last week come to think of it, boo!

    I turned it right down cos I didnt want it to burn, so hopefully it should set soon :( really dont need it to go wrong, my family are coming to visit from Kent (about 3 hours away from here) tomorrow, and its part of the pudding selection!! :eek:

    Saw ONEM last night, have to say I wanted to slap that girl round the face after about 5 minutes, and laughed really hard when her mum told her off "you're making a fool of yourself!" "but it huuuuuuuuurts" then the MW comes in "yes dear, you're only 3cm, please calm down!" *cue massive strop and a epidural* :rotfl:
    That woman moaning about not getting her lunch annoyed me too, but to be fair I probably would have been worse if they'd forgotten me :o

    Mel, are you about? I saw the cow cup in Sainsburys today and thought of you and Kai ;) does he like it?

    Kester is not breech any more :D:D:D:D

    And he is 3/5ths engaged!:eek: But that doesn't mean too much...

    and he is measuring 1 cm above weeks (fergie was always 2cm below) so I might be due a whopper :eek::D

    I'll catch up now....
