Have bacon barm, S+V discos, flake and can of pepsi to calm may doctor rage. Think it will work?

Gotta be worth a try...on both counts!!


This website lets you find surgeries accepting patients in your area

It does dentists too, which is what I need because mine is in Stoke and I live in Wolverhampton...not lugging the babba up here with me!

hmmm, I thought we were moving towards dropping the lunchtime booby feed but today Ed decided he'd not bother with the one after bfast and I've had to offer because left was so much bigger than right I was in danger of falling over :rotfl: I need to get more organised, we only had bfast at 10:30ish today which is what messed everything up I think.

MFD and anyone else who does it, can I ask why do you use active fit nappies? I've always just used baby dry because they are cheaper (and Chris is allergic to them but I only found that out when mum bought some)

Has anyone ever heard of a doctors only giving jabs in the morning? Just phoned to book Benjamin in for his MMR and they won't give me an afternoon appointment.

So we go next Tuesday at 11.50am.

Ours (or rather our previous one - we haven't had any here yet) just does Tuesday afternoons. We don't book - they just send you appointemnts through the central system.

Speaking of which, has anyone actually been offered the Swine Flu jab for their children?

Susan, apparently you have to contact our surgery if you want your child to have the jab... My friend told me when she'd booked her daughter in, the surgery haven't been in contact at all...

We also get letters through with appointments already booked for jabs...

I got a letter from our surgery telling me to phone up and make an appointment for it, or to phone up and tell them not to contact me again about the swine flu jab. I did neither. Just lobbed the letter in the bin.

i know people have mixed views on it, but I personally have a few reasons:

1) I hate making Keira get a needle 2) Swine flu has all but dissapeared, gotta love the media and it's tall tales and 3) For me, it's a new injection out, it probably hasn't been tested very well and could have scary side effects further down the line for all I know.

I'm sure most people with swine flu, actually just had a cold, or the regular flu.

I use Active Fit because they are much thinner in the gusset area - which makes it easier for baby to move around. However, they are not as big so not as absorbent so we have Baby Dry at night (when I don't want him moving around too much anyway LOL). He walks (in the words of 3) like he has just got off a big horse in his nighttime nappy.

I have been using purple ones since not long after he started crawling. We got a sample in the 6m bounty pack and I noticed the difference straight away so I switched.

Yes. We were offered via a letter from our doc many months ago - end of last year sometime? We were asked to book or call and inform the doc if we weren't going to have it. We refused and then we got another letter from the local PCT warning us that we were putting our child at increased risk by not having it :mad:

I think what they actually meant was 'we have tons of the stuff in stock - somebody must want some'



Boots were extremely helpful, finding me the last 2 packs of Size 5's in stock...even though they needed to get the stepladders out to get them down - and then the lovely lady on the pharmacy went and got me some vouchers from the machine and saved me an extra £5 :money:

I've had a productive day for once. The kitchen is spotless. I put *some* clothes away, just mine left to go, load of towels have been washed, I made black bean quesilldias for lunch, Keira actually tried a TINY bit, she promises she will eat the macaroni cheese for dinner that I've half made.

My bedroom smells mouldy or something, I'm sure it's the window, as it keeps growing black mould on it, and Keira's carpet has a smell too, like damp? Not sure, think it goes back from when she did a massive wee on the carpet and I didnt realise for about 2 days :eek: Rotten!! Im borrowing the steam cleaner from my gran, all my carpets need a good clean. Refuse to buy new ones since the cats wreck em
