    Tia - SIL got back to me and recommended Ferility Friends, the same website Som mentioned. Apparently there are forums for different regions and hospitals, and there is also a lawyer who answers questions, in case your friend feels the hospital were wrong in destroying her embryos etc.

    I have finally got round to phoning a childminder! :eek:
    Made an appointment to go and visit, next Monday! Nothing like delaying it is there? :o
    I am back to work in 7 weeks. :(

    Need to phone another couple as well and then get my finger out and pick one. I feel really awkward about "interviewing" them, but I guess they are used to it, and I need to be a bit more assertive as it's an important decision to make. Don't want to settle for the first one, just because I am too shy to give them a grilling and say no.

    Jojo Maman Bebe seem to have a sale on, but their website has been a bit slow. And it's difficult to tell how good the reductions are because the sale prices are listed as the current price without being marked as sale, and you have to click on the individual item to see the original price!

    Olive oil will give it a flavour....do you have sunflower oil? Or vegetable oil?

    Not that it really matters - as long as you like the taste of olive oil.

    Not a very MSE way to deep fry though!

    I've got sunflower and veg oil I think - and don't really like the taste of olive oil. I'll use the sunflower. Thanks. :D


    Caz :T:T:T Can you link to the bebo ad? :D
    :beer:
  • Fitz - do you want my list of questions?

    Ultimately it is about the one who you click with - it is horrible saying no but you will know when you have found the right person for you and H.

    I did 1 phonecall a day for a few days and cried after each one because I am a big wuss!!

    Caz - please don't do anything you would regret. The woman will be punished by sticking with your ex when he will treat her like [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] too. Don't get yourself into trouble, neither of them are worth it.

    Sorry if I am going against the grain, but I don't think you should do anything. Don't lower yourself. I know it's easy to say, but try to just focus on your kids and your own life and wash your hands of them. Just my opinion (and I know it's not that easy!)
  • I think I am with you on this one Fitz - but hell hath no fury and all that....

    I haven't got a clue what I would do in Caz's situation.

    That would be great thanks, although if you don't have time, I am sure you posted them before, so I could seek them out.

    Thanks :)

    Caz - :rotfl: My sister would happily send an abusive text for you. She does it for me all the time :p
    You could do the childish writing on walls "For sex call 07XXXXXXXXX" :rotfl:

    MFD, I agree - but if I ever had to talk to her I'd call her a different name, something completely random, and if she corrected me I'd say, but the kids told me their dad's girlfriend was called XXX.

    Lovely afternoon, and we now have another property to view on Friday :j
