    I'm an S (feels like an addiction group here)

    My name's S and I'm addicted to knowing when my TC form will arrive :rotfl:(even though I'll get diddly squat extra!)

    being very good and pegging my washing out instead of using TD - I'm such a lazy bint normally! :o This weather is soooooooooooooo lush! Supposed to be good for weekend too - so beer, football bet and the radio on with 5 live Sport in the Garden on Saturday - sound like a right bloke :cool:

    I swear I just said I would catch up quickly and not post! lol!

    Anyways, Krystal - sell the bag! My bag is £6 from Matalan and I like it! :D

    Am peed off that I bought Wipes in the baby event THEN get sent through ASDA vouchers for wipes and nappies :mad:

    I took Alice to Durham Swimming Baths today. We went once before and weren't impressed because the learner pool was set at 1m (they've got adjustable floors) which meant we had to hold Alice all the time because she couldn't stand up. I normally go to Darlington but since cashflow prohibits travelling so far at the moment and Alice is happy to go in deep water with arm bands on now without us having to constantly hold her I decided to give it another chance.

    The pool was so cold that we got out after twenty minutes (vs. the Dolphin Centre where we can easily stay in an hour) and by the time I started drying Alice she was shaking and had goosebumps on her legs. (And I'm not just being soft - I have swum in a pool with no heating in winter but that was club swimming and I knew before I went that it would be like that.)

    Also when I took her to the deep end (well technically she swam there but I was supervising her closely) I was told that she wasn't allowed in the deep end because she couldn't swim. I'd like to know what the difference between 1.2 and 1.8 metres is when you're not even one meter tall! I appreciate the depth would (if I hadn't done umpteen lifesaving qualifications) affect my ability to rescue her but I never let her go more than a metre from the side once we're out of my depth.

    They also have such ridiculous child to adult ratios that once our next child is born, I wouldn't be able to take the children there on my own until the youngest was 5 anyway.

    And even though half the pool had lane ropes in, people were swimming lengths across the whole width of the pool so we kept having to dodge them.

    When we were in the Market Place I got interviewed about the election by someone from TyneTees so I might be on the news so that was exciting.
