    It's a pretty name Bex, Caitlyn nearly had May as a middle name but she's Caitlyn Ruth... Named after my aunt actually...

    He's an absolute stunner Weezl :) Does he have more hair than his big brother?

    Afternoon Tara :)

    Ooh, cheeky question... Anyone got a tens machine they don't plan to use before Feb/March next year?


    I figured with the trouble Caitlyn gave me with my back last time, this time isn't going to be any easier and a Tens might be the way to go... But I don't want to fork out for one seeing as I don't plan to go through this ever again!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    lol, My sister had a patient called Septamus - he was the 7th child and his mum n dad ran out of ideas according to him :rotfl:

    My dads best friend, Billy had been with his partner for years, and had two daughters around my age. A couple of years ago, they decided to get married (after like a 30 year engagement). At the wedding, the priest said "Do you Margaret, take William Septamus C*******, " :rotfl:
    The whole church burst out laughing - loud!
    And he wasn't the 7th child, there was only two of them!



    Hi Weezl & Tara lovely to see you both.

    I have an elle tens digital specifically for labour. If I needed it again by march of next year I would need my head reading :rotfl:

    You can Tara but the price is about the same as buying one for a longer rental... I was thinking about using it towards the end of the pregnancy to help my back... Plus I went 9 days over last time, anything could happen this time around...

    I'd get one off eBay and flog it on cheaper probably... But if someone's got one I could borrow, it would be more MSE ;)

    Edit: Ooh I shall message you Weezl my dear :)

    I sold mine on ebay a few months back, Krystal, sorry.

    Did make a profit though :cool:

    Afternoon all,

    what is this mention of cute pics? I'll have to have a look back to coo over adorable babas.

    We've been to the car boot this morning, why is it you think you're saving money buying second hand v-tech/tomy toys then you end up spending £10 in asda for batteries?! Oh well, if the light show keeps her occupied for a while it'll be worth it. Apart from that I got lots of bargainous things, I'm so glad I've found a car boot nearby (well, two buses each way!) as it pains me to pay full price for 'stuff' which is outgrown or not liked within 5 minutes.

    How is everyone, are we all having nice Sunday lunches? Oh, and has anyone any idea's how I can cook my joint of beef which probably should be inthe oven already lol!

    So we have Becles and Weezl and Tara posting again, and that is lovely. Any more former posters lurking and want to join in? Please do, I miss you.
