There is a small child singing baa baa black sheep very loudly outside. I wonder if he knows everyone in all the flats can hear him :rotfl:.

When I was a child (Primary School age) I used to spend hours on my swing outside singing hymns at the top of my voice. In retrospect I'm suprised nobody complained. Although maybe they were just glad I wasn't shouting abuse, throwing stones at them or dealing drugs.

ETA - grr forgot the whole reason i come on this morning was to ask Beenie/3, do you have a furminator for your dogs? I'm thinking of getting one for Patch's Christmas present but I'm not sure what size, do I need the long hair one too? he only has the usual springer long hair on his ears and flanks.

Yeah i have a large one but a medium would do, look on Grabbit there's a thread about them atm from Amazon.

Just got my first swagbucks £5 Amazon voucher. (but i also have an email folder full of carp to show for it :rotfl:)

Aww Aless, So sorry about the job.

Yay for big brave Thomas. Alex has is MMR on Thursday afternoon. Not looking forward to that one.

As you were all very helpful with present ideas for Joe. Have lots on my list now, and a few already bought. Can any one give ideas for a 9 year old girl? As in 9 going on 19, who is allowed to dress in a way that no daughter of mine ever would. It is truly :eek: sometimes. She is also way spoiled and has everything. Last year was easy, as she was getting a charm bracelet, so charms were bought for that.

I'm finding it so much easier to shop for the babies in my life, over fives are so much harder arrggghhhh....

susan - I've read the letter.

I think that you have very successfully kept emotion out of the letter to get your points across. My only thought was whether you were looking for a reply or not? If you would like an apology for the way you wre treated I would state that at the begining and end. If its a reply you want, Again I would state this.

Other than that - I really hope that your concerns will bring about change. Would you consider sending copies to other places, such as your local MP or your NHS trust rather than just the hospital (I know that might not be what you want - I'm only suggesting).

I'm sorry you weren't treated well.

Hi all

Am due to have no2 baby in March when DD will be 2yrs and 7 months, Im hoping she'll be old enough for a buggy board and then we'll get a travel system for the new baby as really dont want a double. Which travel system goes best with a buggy board?

TIA

Hi DM11 and welcome. :wave:

Do you have a buggy/pram from child number 1 that you could reuse?

ETA _ i'm not great on travel systems. I bought a bugaboo cameleon as a pram and buggy, then a McLaren for using as a lightweight travel buggy. I know you get buggy boards that fit both, but haven't any personal experience. Cazcoob, redmel and others who have several children will probably be able to offer better advice.................

It has took me about 45 mins to post this as my blummin computer kept closing down... grr

Oh dear, lots of hugs for those with poorly babies (and naked ones too)! Seems to be a lot of sickness going around. And hugs to the poor mummies (and some daddies :P) who have to look after them.

Sorry to hear about your incompetent doctors Susan. But at least you have discovered your allergy yourself.

And sorry you didnt get the job Aless. XX

CAFC: Really dont worry about L. A has suddenly just started doing little things but that was after her crazy growth spurt.

Glad the jabs went well Gill. Forgot A has her second lot on weds.

Grumpy baby here, her cheeks are bright red and shes frustratingly chomping on anything she can get her hands on whilst shouting out inbetween. Just given her some calpol and hopefully that will help.

All these domesticated ladies.. you put me to shame. Xmas cake recipe.. and chutney? HAR HAR! Lol I wouldnt know where to start. Keep up the good work and I just hope my DH never reads these threads and gets any ideas...

Thank you. I'm more bothered about whether they change things than whether they apologise to me or not so I've deliberately not specifically requested one so as to keep the focus on changing things for the future. I was taking it as a given that they would reply but I'll add, "I look forward to hearing from you." at the end just to make sure. I think initially I should just send the letter to the hospital as I think it's only fair to give them a chance before involving others.

Susan, my brain's not really in the right place for an in-depth analysis, but overall it looks well-presented & logical. Do you wish for them to respond? - if so, you should put that you expect a response or similar.

eta: - sorry cross-posted with rmac - I see you've already answered the above.
