Some have explained, and Red thank-you, and yes I hope some do feel bad as I know about the 'pm' messaging that goes on and am very umcomfortable with it. The majority of people are lovely and need not feel bad at all but this thread has got clicky and it's made worse by some, they can feel as bad as they like but they won't. The nasty remarks that get messaged behind the scenes are not nice and quite frankly I'm way too old for it.

It is with tears that I say my goodbyes, you've been amazing and got me through some terrible times, and some very happy ones. SM gets a hard time on here and is ignored by many, I don't always agree with her choices but have always talked to her about it. I'm absolutely sure others don't agree with mine but why should they, they're mine to make. I may post occasionally but don't think it fair to just come on and not keep up to date with others. I have read this thread almost every day for abouth 18mths now so will miss some of you very much. Too upset to type now...

I'm not aware of any 'nasty messages' and would be disappointed if this was happenning. If anyone had any issues with me (and I know some do) i'd rather they just said them, so I can either sort it out, or just laugh at the sheer lunacy. I think we're all a little too old to be sending nasty messages and it's maybe not a good example to be setting our children, if this is going on and i'd lose any respect for anyone doing so.

In what way do you feel SM gets a hard time? (also interested to read SM's thoughts on that) I'm not around for periods at a time. She's one of those who has been most friendly towards me. I also agree that she, yourself and everyone can make their own decisions. I'm not going to criticise anyone for decisions, when i'm someone in life who is criticised the most for having so many children, especially when I was on my own. No-one else's business as is the same with every single person on here. If you want 12 kids, or to feed them this or that, then that's people's choice?

I hope you don't leave as you are a regular that will be missed greatly by many. Everyone is liked and disliked by people - I could name you half a dozen who aren't my biggest fans on here, but there are numerous others who will put up with me and offer me good advice, all of which is greatly received.

Take all the bad with a pinch of salt and focus on the good.

Hope you feel able to carry on here.

Tara - whats happened? why have you suddenly decided to go, I dont know that people have Pm'd nasty remarks as my PM's are normally my address or to retrieve addresses for fairies.
We are all meant to be adults here - blimey we're all mums arent we?
There have been too many people leaving here recently for silly reasons and I for one am very sad about that and dont want someone else to leave for the same reason.

I cant come to the meet as I work full time now and am saving my holiday unless I really need it having had time off for ML.... I also live in London and would not be able to come all that way on the train with my 2 trust me.

MOTM - after I got my BFP with Katie, I informed the GP (who teared up!), I then chased round for a midwife appointment, as I couldn't confirm dates plus I needed to know as I was going on a weeks holiday within the week.

It took a week with some ringing round, got the scan on Tuesday flew to Greece on Friday happy in the knowlege I was 10 weeks pg and all was OK.

You think we may have to chase? May leave it until Wednesday (1 week after GP) and then phone.

I know it sounds like we are being impatient, but best to be sure than forgotten.

You know what I mean MOTM... you and Bruno are honourary mums IYSWIM...and more than welcome here just the same as anyone else

MOTM, the midwife will probably be in touch. If they book you in at 8-9 weeks then you'll probably get a letter in the next week or so... Wouldn't hurt to chase, but I doubt you'd get forgotten...

My Mum posted some really old pictures on facebook last night and there's a picture of me holding a tiny baby... I have a scary feeling that it's Aimee's half brother :eek:

MOTM - I wasn't seen by the mw until quite late on this time; think I was already 11 weeks (they didn't contact me til at least 9 weeks to make that appointment) - according to our HV they are really pushed for time at the moment, and have been affected by government cuts, though this might just be Somerset?

Lucy's concern that she'd be forgotten, which puts a seed in my head too. I will chase up later this week if no-one has been in touch

Old pictures - a sure fire way to embarrass. How old would Aimee's brother be now?

We are just over the border in Devon. Not sure if there will be any connection - most likely Devon & Cornwall whereas you may be Somerset and Avon? Probably will all be in the same boat though with the cuts, which is appalling considering.

MOTM - it's obviously different here but we just make an appointment with the MW who visits the surgery every Wednesday morning.



Krystal - trying to get my head around your post - your ex's son? Before you had Aimee or after?
