Michaelle, with DS1 I bled for 6 weeks, it slowed down and I then had a 2 week period which was very heavy, stopped for about 3-4weeks and another 2 week period. If t';s really heavy it is a good idea to get check out just in case. It is probably just your period though, they can be really bad for the first few months. Didn't seem to e so bad with DS2 and Amber but I had C sections with them so can't really compare.

all insurance has gone up not just car insurance.

our house insurance doubled through Aviva!!!

Same, yes, our car insurance went up by almost £100. House insurance went down but that was because we were with a rip off company at first.

Our Annual Travel Insurance went up loads...and I noticed that they are offering lots of 'bargain basement' type policies which are a similar price to what we were paying before but don't cover what you would expect from travel insurance. Not had to re-insure anything else yet - Oct and Nov are our months!

Sami For as long as i've been driving, people have said, you're insurance will go down once your 21, then 25, then 30 - and it has never gone down. The only time OH's ever went down was when he added me as [STRIKE]an older [/STRIKE]a better driver.

It will be interesting next renewal as he's had a bump this year. The confusing bit is, he had a bump in my car so will it affect my insurance, his or both?
OH pet rant at the moment is Whipcash claims. The bloke he went into the back of (at less than 5mph) had absolutely no damage to his car, ours had a cracked number plate and the grill had popped in, but the correspondance between insurers mentions the driver & his wifes injurys! :mad:

oh yes! said accident in sept 08 I ran into the back of someone (thought she was gonna go through on amber but she didn't ) I was goin 15-20mph max (when I slammed on and skidded into her so hit her pretty slow really) my whole front end crumpled so I needed about 4 new panels and bumper and associated spraying which came to around £3k, the woman I hit was in a sh!tty old astra and all that happened was the no. plate light fell out so most she would need was a new bumper maybe a new bracket to attach it but the total cost of the claim on my records was over £8k :eek: I knew she would claim whiplash coz the second she got out of the car she was rubbing her neck and she reported it to the police coz I had a call to go and produce my docs :mad: I know where she lives and a couple of months after she had a shiny new car on the drive!

Ouch MFD good job you've sorted B's Christmas prezzies already!

Jenny, I was just about to PM you to see if you were okay! Kept forgetting to ask about you here . Sorry to hear Erin is poorly as well - wow, it's definitely going around! Best wishes for tomorrow, I hope it's not too hard on all of you. Hopefully Erin will surprise everyone and be just fine with less feeds. Are you going to pump or what for her, since I don't think she takes a bottle? Just being nosey because still trying to decide what to do for Finn! (we've successfully cut 1 of his day feeds, but there's still another right about now and wondering whether to just make him go without or try and sub with some milk from a cup)

Woohoo, got another interview. Not for 2 weeks though! What's with all these long time scales, argh? Don't they know people need work straight away! Oh well, the way I see it is a couple weeks out of work won't be any worse than being on SMP, so it's okayish for now.

Still no news on gas man who is supposed to come this arvo. It's actually colder in here than outside . ETA: gas man just arrived, yay!

i hardly had any bleeding after my section. it was more like spotting than bleeding.

Well that's not fair!!:p

What's annoying me is *TMI* the bleeding will completely stop for hours then GUSH:o:o:o It's not like a "just stood up after sitting for ages" gush... it just happens:eek: After a quick google I have read that doing too much after section too soon can make the bleeding heavy?? I will admit to maybe doing a bit too much:o I do feel I've recovered really well (especially as it wasn't straightforward section:() and I HATE having to take it easy... so maybe my body is giving me a little reminder!;)

JUMPEROOS so are they worth it??? Just convinced DH that we may just have to get one for Dasiy for that special December day!:D

I still have DSS to sort and as they get bigger they get much more expensive :cool:

I finish here on Thursday. I have then negotiated a 3 (potentially 6) month self employed contract, working from home initially, which is essentially doing my job, my FT assistant's job and my PT boss's job for what is ultimately less money than I am on now (they reckon I can make it up in what I won't be paying in tax but there are costs involved in setting up...)

I was hoping new company would sign me up so I could tell current people where to stick it. They must bl00dy want me, I have already spent 5 hours in the company of 1 of the directors and now they want me to meet the managing director and another director *rolleyes*

I could cheerfully tell em all to stuff themselves today if anybody fancies paying my mortgage?

Jenny I meant to say in my last post, She may be fine anyway with out feeding to sleep at lunch, She could just be taking advantage of the situation -not in a babies are sly creatures way but I can't word it very well - in a sort of if you have chocolate in the house you will eat it but if you don't buy any you don't crave it?
Making any sense? I'm not sure

Aless if you were out and about at this time would Finn fuss for a feed or would he be fine? I dropped Ed's 3pmish feed when I realised he was fine without it when distracted by being out so I just started giving him a little snack with a spot of milk in a cup at that time instead
