    OH NO!! I rarely watched any daytime TV even when I was at home but I remember very clearly seeing a close-up of a man demonstrating how to check your testicles properly on This Morning!! I had only just flicked over and got the shock of my life!!


    Which reminds me - have all your menfolk checked their testicles after our recent scare - a young mans disease remember!

    FWIW I would always refuse to watch a birth, I still would now in fact.

    Although you may find that the baby channel is Baby TV - TV for babies!!

    Really? Blimey! Think it may have shocked me too.

    Do you class 37 as young. In fact, I wouldn't know how to check properly to be honest, I could have done with seeing 'This Morning'. I've spent so long worrying about the girls and their problems, I forgot about me.

    I won't watch a birth. I did once and felt very faint. I'm okay holding partners hand whilst giving birth, but no, I cannot look.

    Oh yes, Baby TV is tv for babies. What am I thinking of then? There was one for parents, I swear there was.

    Can anyone help me make my Christmas list? Husband likes to have a list for inspiration, but I'm trying to make it and I'm stuck.

    Yes, before you ask, I am supposed to be working. I have four projects outstanding. Two I can't work on till someone else gets back to me, one needs approval from my boss before going any further and he is on holiday, and I am considering melding the fourth into the third. I have chosen the suitcase I want to buy to replace the one Easyjet broke and am waiting for them to get back to me, Molly is happily playing with her noisy puppy and I have no desire to clean the bathroom.

    MOTM- mum has said she would move over here, but its our intention to move there. although in the current financial climate we'd be no better off and would have to live with mum for quite a while. and as much as i love my mum, living with her for more than 2 weeks would probably start to annoy me. plus i think DH would kill my sister! lol!!

    :rotfl:Fair enough. Best everyone kept sane....and alive :rotfl:

    Very busy. It's better spread out. My birthday is 4 days before 17yo and then another 8 days until 14yo's Birthday.

    Crazy how it works out.

    Right, I MUST log off. Things to do and then we're popping down the local shops, for the sheer hell of it. I'm sure my wallet will be lighter ina couple of hours.

    Enjoy the rest of your days.

    Yes, channel 254 or 255 +1 looks positive. Hopefully some more somewhere. Maybe GMTV or something do a spot. I seem to recall something.

    Hi all :wave:

    I have a poorly baba :(

    I wasn't able go to the meet as couldn't get the day off work (I told SM already). I am supposed to be down south at a client meeting right now, but I got a phonecall from the nursery while I was on my way to say C has a temperature of 38.8.

    I'm pretty sure it's the effects of her injections last week, as she's showing most of symptoms listed. She's quite bad though - she's either asleep, or wanting cuddles. When she's awake, she's crying most of the time :( She's had calpol but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I phoned the doctors and they can't fit her in(!) so told me to take her to hospital if she doesn't improve.


    She's asleep at the moment, so I'm going to see how she is when she wakes up and then go to the hospital. I know it's best to get her checked out, but will feel guilty for going to the hospital and wasting their time if is a reaction to the MMR.

    I don't normally post on here, but that's not right that your doctor can't fit her in, everytime my children have been poorly, the doctors have always fitted them in regardless. If you do go to hospital let them know about the doctors. Why don't you try and get a doctor to come out to you.
    Don't worry if some at the hospital look at you wrong, I work in the hospital and there's always one nurse that is bloody miserable and thinks everyone is wasting there time. Do what you think is best.

    My son has had bad reactions but it's best to check. It could also be a virus caught at nursery.
