    Has anyone else found their maternetity exemption certificate for prescriptions doesn't run for a full year from the due date? My due date when I sent off was 29th April 2007 but exemption certificate only runs until 13th April 2008.

    I sent off for mines in August and my EDD is 29/04/2007.
    Mines expires on the 29/04/2008.

    There was a note with it to say if you don't have your baby within a certain amount of time you could call them and get the date changed.

    I'm a bit worried about finding a dentist at the mo, I need a filling or extraction, but haven't been in years, as far as I know there aren't any NHS dentists where I live, might have to go private but can't really afford it. State of the NHS is so scary :mad:

    Oasis Dental Care in Pelton (near Chester le Street) is taking on NHS patients. I've just registered there as my dentist has gone private. Their telephone number is 0191 3702051. I registered, but haven't been for an appointment yet, so can't comment on the service.

    Just thought I'd mention it in case they are within travelling distance for you.

    If not, put your postcode in here and see if there is one nearer:

    I feel the cold and had to put my winter coat on for the first time the other evening, and noticed it was quite neat accross my expanding tummy :o

    I didn't want to spend a fortune on a coat just for one winter, but also needed something reasonbly smart for work.

    I found this jacket in the Vertabaudet sale which looks warm and smart. It's been reduced to £16.99-£19.99 depending on what size you are.

    If you are not a customer already, see the home page for a £10 off your first shop over £20 voucher. I bought baby an activity play mat, also in the sale, to take it over £20. By the time the voucher came off, I'm getting the jacket and play mat for £20.93 - bargain!
    Here I go again on my own....
  • Morning,

    Hi all,
    My husband and I have just been through an amazingly exciting but stressful time (work changes, moving house, exams, new bubby arriving in Apr) and desperately need a relaxing holiday in Dec, before or after X'mas (will be 20-25 weeks by then).

    Being more used to activity holidays, we'd appreciate any ideas for a chill-out holiday, somewhere warm, not fly too far from London (<7 hrs), with some cultural/historical attractions that doesn't involve too much walking, climbing, etc. Maybe Morocco (Marrakesh/Agadir), but would prefer to go somewhere where vaccinations are not required. And the cheaper/better value for money, the better! :p Any other recommendations/experiences from everyone would also be great.

    I know you guys won't disappoint me! :T Thanks in advance.

    Babitee & Bub

    We've found out we're having a boy, so I've updated the list. I didn't think you could find out at a scan at 16wks but it was pretty obvious what we could see on the screen even if the sonographer hadn't told us!

    They do say you can find out from 16 weeks onwards.
