    No, I told her I hadn't finished yet and when she was about to respond I asked her how Harry her husband was today and I sidetracked her :rotfl:She'll be back, probably with leaflets from the NHS :rotfl:

    Did you enjoy your pamper?

    Tell her you're not sure what one is if she asks again, and then tell her you had that done years ago if she persists.

    I loved my pampering, thank you, although it was a very German session - she discussed my blackheads and my poops, all but walked down my back to get my muscles to submit to her and worked so hard that she sweated on me :rotfl:

    MOTM - yeah he is quite nice sometimes, well most the time, but when he gets on a downer he is so boring and miserable, lol I dont even know who Rachael Rice is?

    :rotfl: I'll tune in some time and see if I can catch this guy in action.

    Rachel won it 2 or 3 years ago - she was the Welsh girl who beat the blind guy in the final two.

    :rotfl:That would be interesting to see how she responds to that one :rotfl:

    Eurgh, doesn't sound much fun :eek: The sweat bit would have been the last straw for me :eek:

    :wave: *slinks back in after weeks away again* :o

    Hope everyone is ok?

    Have been trying to follow a little on my phone but not managed much.

    Massive congrats to MOTM & Lucy, such lovely news & so glad your girls have taken it all so well - always sounds like they're so lovely when you talk about them.

    3 I can't believe what happened on your hols, how utterly ridiculous. Have you posted the story online anywhere else? i.e. so when people google the company your review would come up? Sorry if you have but I've not managed to read back much.

    CAFC your OH needs a swift kick in his bits :p

    EA I really hope your dad is ok, could you text/email him to let you know your thinking of him?

    Kindof, I just bought some swimming nappies from Boots that are elasticated waist that I prefer to the Huggies ones, they're cheaper too :money: I've more than we'll get through and would offer to post some to you but suspect they may be too small? Guy has a tiny bum!

    So since I last posted we've gotten married & been to the lakes for a few days :D Very lovely, glad to be away from DHs (weird!) family to celebrate his 30th. Also discovered how hard restaurants are with little babies :cool:

    Anyone got any views on the Mutsy 4rider pushchair? Guy hates the Joolz but loves the cheapy umbrella fold we have, and I thought the seat unit on the Mutsy looked more like that, but I've never heard of it before :cool:

    I'm sorry but what has it got to do with him? its your womb, not like its got any affect on him :p (if he has some macho notion that he's so big he'll feel it then he's wrong, my OH felt the strings of mine like once in over a year of me having it)
    Does everyone else consult their OH on their contraceptive choices? I just told OH what I'm doing (I do just tell him lots of things tho, guess who wears the trousers in this house:cool: :p)
    As far as I'm concerned it's a joint decision in the same way that choosing to have a child is. I can't imagine not involving him as to me it is a choice you make as a couple.

    Hi Gym. Congratulations :) I've not heard of a Mutsy ... have googled, but I think I would have to see it in person to decide what I think of it!

    Kindof - just thought, my Asda ones are size 3s. Do you want me to send you a couple in the post? I think they go up to 20lbs. They're like little pants that you pull on.

    Huge congrats Gymfiend - can we see some pics please?

    Glam - those nursery prices are extortionate

    I need to start looking at nurserys soon :( Most of the ones I've seen say 8am - 6pm. I don't get out of work until 5.45 so it's touch and go that I'll get there for 6 - does anyone know if in general they give you a bit of leeway? Ie would it be a problem if I didnt get there until 10 past? I might have to look at one near where I work rather than near where I live.
