    Elle when we took A for his jabs the other day the nurse mentioned something about another baby being brought in by a grandma. I wouldn't see why it should be a problem but may differ by area like so many other things so maybe just call the clinic before to double check :)

    Arrrgh pants day :(

    Still don't feel very well. Have had some upset with uni. Posted a while back about people I was on a course with before making catty comments. They've kept on posting sly digs, but not naming names so to an outside it looks like they are generally slagging people off, but I know it's all directed at me as I'm the one that was in their group.

    Anyway I finally snapped and posted a rant on the forum this morning :o Tutor rang me up to find out what was going on, so I've told him everything. He's going to back me up 100% and tell them to leave the past in the past and pack it in with the sly digs. Hopefully it should settle down now.

    Craig has been working in the bathroom and had to cut the a floor tile funny to go round the bit where the pipes come out of the floor and go up to the basin. He thought the pedestal would cover it, but we got the basin and pedestal out just to check. Got it all lined up and discovered the pedestal does cover the funny tile bit, but then noticed a massive crack in the basin.

    Everything was checked when it arrived and has been in boxes in the garage. Unfortunately nobody ever puts things away properly in the garage, and I suspect a scooter or bike or something has been chucked in and broken it.

    So now I need to find the cash to buy a new basin and wait 4-6 weeks for delivery for it.

    Looking forward to the England match starting. Charlotte is allowed to stay up until she gets too tired. She's been sporting patriotic hair slides today and singing Vindaloo and Football's Coming Home :D

    I remember you posting about those childish people on the course forum...I'm glad the tutor is backing you up and just think, not long left and you'll never have to have contact with any of them again;)
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    That is what is keeping me going :D

    Next four weeks will be hard as it's the intense group work and it's been changed since we organised the original group. We in little groups for a few days then keep changing groups, so I will have to work with them at some point.

    After that, I think we're left to our own devices for the last assignment and then it's revision for the exam on the 11th October.

    Oh wow, Becs that is not long at all:D

    I had really hoped to sign up for a course in October myself but we have literally no income at the moment so can't pay for it yet....dh is looking for a job but there is so little about around here atm:( He is also finding things a bit hard with the added stress of the baby being due so soon!

    I really hope you get the pass you want and I bet your family will all be so proud of you. I think it will be really inspiring for the kids too:)

    Charlotte looks gorgeous! And yes a lot more grown up than in your avvy. Sorry you've had such a bad day again. I hate it when thigs are just broken an nobody knows what happened.
  • Had to come back because I didn't say anything about Glam's shoulder earlier. Hope you are okay hun.

    Mine is very painful but if I keep busy with stuff that 'has' to be done then I can keep going to a certain extent.

    Off to watch the match but will be about again later.


    Becles ((HUGS)) hun - sounds like jealousy to me. Glad you have told someone though - don't we try to drum into our kids that they need to tell someone if they are being bullied? This is no different.

    Catcha all later

    I agree, that is a really beautiful picture of Charlotte, Becles. I'm sorry to hear that those uni people are still being idiots, but glad you haven't got to put up with them for much longer.

    We're watching the football. Henry is sparko so just me and OH. Only drinking lemonade as I have Race for Life in the morning.

    SM- I've just seen your picnic pics on FB and it looks like you had a good day in the sunshine.
