    who are you looking at for cat ins? i really need to get some sorted, kitty in the huff as she was taken out in the car whilst we had house inspection(of course i dont have a cat :D) i was thinking of you buttons when i was hiding everything away lol!
    I went through Argos too, Scruffy's costing me £7.61 a month, I put him down as a longhair colourpoint :)
    Yeah it's a PITA too hide everything Caz. Your lucky, I don't have a car to hide my 2 in.

    I went with Argos platinum cause its life cover etc blah blah £65 excess, 7k a year. The other 2 policys they do aren't really worth it to save a quid.

    I'm almost £13 a month for my 2, Archie is higher because A) Hes a boy and B) He's a douche, no lol, because hes young.

    My female cat is 2, but she was about £6 a month. So not dear!
    I dunno what we'll do when we have an inspection, we have two and shouldnt have any :o I think we're going to say if they mention it that its the estate agents fault, cos we got them after we'd signed everything, and then we spoke to them and they said it was fine, and its not our fault they didnt check with the landlady :o :rotfl: its almost true, we did get one of them in the gap between signing the paperwork and actually moving in!!

    Just watched OBEM, that waterbirth was awesome! I'm so having me one of those next time, it was so much calmer! That poor VBAC woman though, with a OH like that! I cant believe he actually said he would have been better off at home and leaving her and her mum to it, !!!!!!!

    Oh, got watching OBEM with Rhys (was telling him all about his birth and first hours! ;)) then he fell asleep on me, and mega slobbed all over my shoulder, ick! _pale_

    I asked OH when he was going to fix the wardrobe - he didn't know it was broken, the carpet fitter did it when he was shifting it - and he went off to do that. He came back to tell me it was done, so I asked when he was going to move it back into place so he did that. Then I asked what he wanted for tea, he's not hungry but I am so he's gone to get me a Maccys.... ahhhh, that's better! ;):p Now, if he'd just put the cot together tonight, I can get on with making it up with sheets etc tomorrow :D

    Did I mention Rhys is 13lb now? Was hoping he'd be more than that (it's only a 8oz gain in three weeks) but hey ho.. :)
  • Oh almost forgot !! I havent had Dylan weighed in ages, but we are at the pediatrician tomorrow so I wonder how much he has put on ??? Hope its a good bit as he had no gain for 4 weeks over Christmas after he was in hospital, but he has had a bad few weeks with his reflux so not sure ?? Well I will see tomorrow

    I've been back to the doctors today and saw a nicer doctor than last time. He agreed I've not got depression and that it's the physical symptoms causing me to feel down, rather than depression causing the symptoms. He's going to run some blood tests and wants one of them to be fasting. I have to go back next Wednesday morning for those, and I managed to get an 8.30am appointment so I'll not have to starve for too long.

    While I was out, Craig left Charlotte watching Show Me Show Me on the iplayer on my PC while he nipped out the back for a fag. Came back in and she had smeared vaseline all over my calculator. I came back in and was greeted with her telling me "it's naughty to put vaseline on calculators" :rotfl:

    Becles - SO glad you seem to be getting somewhere.
    Gotta love Charlotte :D

    No. I made sure I made a point of asking questions I knew she wouldn't know the answer to - and made sure I did know.

    You know, sometimes I think you ARE me!! A teacher once threw a board rubber at me. It didn't hit but it was in my direction and aimed 'at' me because I was talking (as usual!). I jumped up, stormed out of the class and straight to the headmasters office where I reported what had happened, demanded that my mother be called and informed the headmaster that I would not be going into that classroom until I and my parents had received an official apology from the teacher. I then proceeded to put a chair outside the teachers classroom and sit there (for a few lessons that week) until the teacher called my parents in and apologised to us all. :o
    Then I went back to class.
    Thing is, I was genuinely a good kid, just (not being patronising) a lot brighter than my classmates at that school. I was the only person in the school (including the year before me and the year after me) to achieve an A at GCSE, and I got 5...which was apparently way below my potential but I don't find it held me back :cool:
    What I guess I didn't realise at the time was that all my gossiping (because I had finished the work at breakneck pace) was hindering the other kids.


    DKAM - glad things seem a bit better today. Remember we are here next time you need a moan :D and for good news too of course! Glad A enjoyed his first day at school xx
