    A lot of the mums at our school are older than me, have one or two children and are a bit stuck up, saying that I do talk to quite a few mums there in pre-school, infants and juniors:)

    I don't generally watch daytime tv so didn't see the abortion lady....I have seen a video of the procedure, it is an awful thing to go through.....if every girl was shown that video in school they may be a bit more careful. On the flip side of the coin I do have a friend who has had one and, knowing her reasons, makes me torn on the whole subjetct!

    I have just been looking at the area we are going to on Monday, and showing dh, who hasn't even seen it yet. I booked it and just told him about it awhile back but he didn't really take any interest at the time......Good job he trusts me;)
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    I'm the same as you, I am against them (Unless there has been rape involved) but my best friend had one and her reasons made me torn too.

    I think they need to lower the limit on it

    :D Thank you.



    BUT, isn't the wedding bit a secret?
    So bring a dish, photographer for a christening would work, but would you have to tel friends cousin, DD's friend that tables/flowers are for a wedding and not just a christening?

    EA Have you picked/got your dress but just not tried it on yet because of bump?

    The idea, if it's a good one, would be to say it's on a Saturday because after the Christening there will be an engagement party,so no pressies or cards just bring food?
    Oh wedding talk :) lovely, but makes we wish I could do it all again... I still have my dress in the loft - Tara - you want me to pop it on the Fairy Exchange :rotfl:




    Fab list! I needed shoes for my dress alteration so you might need to bump that back to the 6 weeks list (and bridal underwear ;))

    If you don't fancy doing the bring a plate idea - we used Sainsburys and M&S party food. Looked great for a cold buffett (we got married aboard so only had a evening reception) and had lots of good comments. You just need someone on pickup duty on the day.

    EA - hows the planning going? I can't believe your getting married so soon after having Lily :). I love, love, love the cupcake idea.

    Dress, no idea, gonna have to sort something. I'm a size 14 so open to ideas! :A
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    My HV is always asking round about questions about OH.
    When I talked to her about the constant night waking the first thing she said was 'Is Dad doing his bit?' I said 'No but he works full time so I don't expect him to until I go back to work' and she was asking all sorts of questions about my emotional state - she's always looking for something that isnt there!

    Should be interesting actually because OH finished his contract end of June and then if he gets onto GTP he will have July & August off - shame J is booked into nursery full-time might see if they will allow part -time. But it will be interesting to see if OH will get up with him in the night :cool:

    He is still asleep and I've done hardly anything except ring up about mortgage and car insurance and clean the bathroom! :eek:

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Mine asked me various questions about Alice to fill in some forms, gave me info about baby clinics, weighed Alice, and asked me if my husband was beating me.

    At my booking in i was asked if me and OH were related :rotfl:

    They asked us again at our wedding license interview :rollseyes: :p

    Do you know that feeling when your ears are going to pop? Well my ears just did that but stopped halfway and it wont go away :(

    Awww, Lily is dreaming. She has REM. I wonder if she's dreaming about my face? Seeing as thats what she mostly see's :D

    Sami,

    Re: JLS concert. I know its not the same, but does Chris like either McFly or the Saturdays, apparently they are on at Haigh Hall in the summer. So open air, not as enclosed, may be better for Chris. But obviously six months earlier. Not sure exactly when its on, but was in a leaflet Joe came home from school with, with events and stuff for kids to do in Wigan & Leigh.

    Been to town this morning, paid the mortgage - waiting now for work to pay me what they owe me! My boss is useless! I think that's the only thing I won't miss if I don't go back.

    Need some milk and bread but CBA to go back out to the shops.

    DH saw the extra 2 willow tree ornaments last night that I bought off ebay. He was moaning that I spent some money when we're supposed to be saving. He asked how much they were and I said £27 for both. He thought I was fibbing so I went on ebay and showed him, to which he said 'no it's ok I believe you'. So I told him they were the last 2 as I now have 7 and no room for any more! I said 'so you won't be going out tomorrow night then' (his mate rang yesterday to see if he's going out and DH told him he might). Well that shut him up. I said at least I've got something to show for what I've spent!
