    Well the course is still on, my flight is cancelled and all the ferries are full so I cant get over, although I have been told to try to get a last minute flight as soon as planes are allowed to fly. hmmm, someone sitting in england where you have a choice of 10 - 15 airports is fine, we have 2 and everyone is trying to get a flight, so I really cant see that working.
    Its going to cause an unbelievable amount of chaos for me in the long run as I cannot do my job till I have been on this and therefore cannot earn a bonus which is a very significant part of my wage :(

    That's pants. And what if you did get over and couldn't get back, great! :eek: I feel very sorry for families stuck in airports in foreign countries, some have been sleeping there for days. OH said about the uncertainty of it going on for months and affecting our holiday, my answer was it was only a holiday and we would get a refund, it's not important. When's the next course?
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Would flying from Dublin be an option, MM? I know my mum and dad often fly out on Ryanair from Dublin when they come to visit me, even though the two Belfast airports are closer to them. But nowhere is far from anywhere in Ireland really!

    Its actually not the flying out that is the issue, they expect the Irish airports to open first, but I need to land in England and they are staying shut till at least tomorrow afternoon, but a guy on the news thinks it will be Monday afternoon.

    My sister is in India with work at the minute and is due to fly home on Monday .... shes on her own out there and my nephew wants his mummy home already, not sure how he will cope if she isnt home on time !!

    Next course is the following week, but there are no spaces available till June !!! Think they will just have to arrange to squeeze me onto a different one !!

    MM - :rotfl: (at your response to the woman, obv not at the work situation xx)


    MDW - the way some people assume that they will automatically get caught irks me just as much. I was chatting to a mummy this morning who was telling me that she will be on maternity leave when her 15 month old goes to nursery at 3...she said, 'I am not going to have another this year, I will have one next year'


    I honestly don't know if I will have another. I know I need to be coping with the one I have and have a solid job with good benefits again before I even think about it. And my hubby is nearly 44 and I don't want him to be a very old dad. Circumstances will dictate in some part. I don't feel that desperate to have another to want to intervene and do something silly if that makes sense?

    I think it doesn't help matters that I look about 12 weeks pregnant so people think I am keeping secrets from them and I get asked A LOT by people expecting me to say 'Well actually I am due......'

    Need to either lose the belly or get fatter so people just know it is fat :rotfl::rotfl:

    I've gotta go, traumatic family meet in the morning. Not often I brave my Mum and her disgusting hubby but my Aunt is visiting from Canada for 1st time in 25yrs so we're all getting together. Sure my Mum will try to make out she's the doting Grandparent so I'll put that one right.

    Night all. XXX

    Edit, she's good thanks Glam, another scare at the docs this week but she bounced straight back, testing her Mummy and Daddy again. Will take some pics tomorrow. X (hope you're all well.x)

    Me too :o. We went out for dinner on Valentines night to a very posh restaurant, and the waitress carefully explained what foods on the menu weren't suitable for a woman in my condition, and when I explained my condition was then 4 months old and lying asleep in his cot at home, blamed it on a miscommunication with the maitre d!
