My labour with Kessie was quick too, going from 4 cms to fully dilated in 1 hr 10:eek::eek: which scares me a bit about a number 3 pregnancy. Which DH is adamant he will never want :rotfl:

I told OH when I was pregnant that if we were having any more children the only way it would be happening would be by adoption but I changed my mind. I even went so far as to request and the information pack from the council despite being ill at the time. (Long term I do still want to adopt but I don't think OH will be convinced we can manage adopted children until we've had a few more begotten ones.)

lol Susan! It came up on my facebook and I remembered you'd talked about it. RRP £6 though :eek: what a rip off!!!
Mind you they've just posted reviews for a crayola ITNG colouring thing that Chris has, we paid £7 for it (and I thought it was a bit pricey for what you get!) but the reviers say the RRP of £20 is ok *shrug*

I'm glad you took my comment the right way - I did worry you might not but figured you know me well enough by now.

Well have actually done some work today, and looks like I should get some done tomorrow morning, with MSE being down. Might actually see my desk soon.:p
Bye for now.

LOL!!!

Have you seen the election themed ben n jerry's?

I hope they're not actually making the pots like that for sale... D's favourite is Caramel Chew Chew and there's no way I'm having anything tory in this house!

My surname is M-B and his is B and we've not had our renewals through... Think we get ours the end of May some time...

I'm keeping the bag I thought I best check with D and he said seeing as it's my win, and I'll probably never have the chance to own a £250 bag again, I should make the most of it...

And I'm on a roll... BRMB just rang me to tell me I've won tickets to the womens gymnastics finals at the NIA next Saturday :D Just need to sort out a babysitter though... Anyone free?

Krystal – Skanky area you are referring to is called Scotland! When H’s toothpaste runs out I have just to go back to dentist for more. Babies all get dental appointment at a couple of months old – it’s called ChildSmile (you were close CSH!). We got toothbrush, toothpaste (it is minty) and 2 TT sippy cups. Plus advice on how to check for sugar levels in pre packed food and how to look after their teeth. Scotland has very bad dental records.

Hammy – Where you off to on holiday? I got some brochures the other day (hubby thinks I am “Tied to the 90s” but I find them easier to browse to find what you are looking for and compare facilities etc).

Well done Jack for bum shuffling.

We do get our houses baby proofed for free. This is the link for what’s available:
http://www.thewisegroup.co.uk/content/default.asp?page=s2_3

I should phone up about it soon to be organised for when H starts moving.

I noticed I have some TC payments in my bank so they must have paid me a backdated amount. I chanced it by sending off last years form and based it on my full wage. I guess when I get a letter through advising me how much I get, I will just phone them up to say I am now on SMP and they will adjust it as appropriate?

my warped mind I'm sure, but I just pictured a house with an enormous condom stretched over it

Fitz, they shouldn't count the first-I think £100 per week of your SMP as earnings, But some of us on here had to remind them of that exemption sorry if you already knew that:)

He he, I know that wasn't the right term, but it's how Glam described it earlier I think. And what I keep saying even though I keep thinking that it's not quite right! I think that some people could probably do with an enormous condom stretched over their house though!!

I have no clue about tax credits and only applied for them 2 weeks ago despite having Holly in September. I thought she would have to be in childcare for me to receive anything but apparently not, thanks to you lovely lot.

Nice to see you posting again Weezl. You must be terribly busy with your boys and all your challenges.
Fingers crossed Fergie's bottom troubles are behind him soon now he has new meds (did you see what I did there?).
