    Whats wrong with an epidural bookie?
    Apart from the fact it leaves a lot more people than they let on with lasting difficulties.

    The closest I had was a colonoscopy without pain relief or sedative, the nurse and doctor kept saying how well I was doing. Can't imagine giving birth though!

    Just the advert was enough to make me cross my legs, don't think I could handle the full programme! I'm watching The Good Wife that I taped last night.

    Mmm lots of good food ideas on here tonight, shame I've got a tesco delivery booked for tomorrow, I think I'll write a shopping list for next week, def want to try the thai curry and gammon. I've got a pork joint that I suppose I could do in the SC, but I want crackling!

    That reminds me, I picked up 2 packets of the M&S chilli rice crackers for the journey down on Sat Ames! :T

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Everyone's different. I had an easy time too, I've had worse toothache.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I think I had quite an easy time compared to some stories I heard on the ward, I guess I just got on with it too.

    Me too, very easy in fact, I was 3 hours having Elliot and just 1 hour with Jess!

    Only 4 more sleeps:T Need to be super organised though as I usually do all my shopping and washing on a weekend.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I am at work the rest of the week and out on Friday night for my friends birthday, might have to leave OH and the boys a shopping list and job list:eek:

    DS1 has already asked what they are going to do for meals.

    Yay for the rice crackers!

    I need to get some washing done so I have clean clothes for the weekend! (or sort through the pile of clean clothes that need putting away).

    I've got an ipod transmitter thing so we can listen to music on the way down.
