    it used to be 21, and then it got changed to 25....

    I finally built up the courage for my one at 21, only to be told it was 25 when i got there..... LOL

    Speaking of which I really need to arrange mine...

    They changed it - I was hounded for about three years (with letters telling me it was very important and omitting to mention that it is almost exclusively caused by an STD) before I filled in a form to opt out of the scheme and then not long after that they changed it to 25.

    Morning all :)

    I'm currently trying to follow the flylady thread. I try to post when I can but Caitlyn is so active now I barely get time. It's good to see the things being crossed off the list (so ideal for you SS!) and it's helped me keep on top of things even though I've only been doing it a couple of weeks. I haven't actually done anything yet today, but I have been down to my mum and dads and hoovered, dusted, cleaned the hob, changed the bedding and hoovered upstairs. Mum doesn't know I go so I hope I haven't left anything out!

    Caitlyn is asleep now so going to take the opportunity to get some jobs done!

    Hi pinkpig :wave: I did notice you on flylady the other day. How come your mum doesn't know you go round, if you don't mind me asking?

    We're about to go and have cous cous for lunch, not sure whether this will be a good idea or not :confused:

    I've never had one. More for wimpy reasons, though i would confess to not finding the thought any easier even after having a baby. I don't feel that i'm in a high risk category due to your point above, but my best friend was horrified that I haven't had one and keeps threatening to march me down to the GP herself!

    I think Annabel needs a new nuby cup - how do we get one :p

    caz - penelope pitstop is a great idea. You can wear the outfit on friday ;) Hope Charlie is better.

    Lo has been very good this morning, but a bit whiney as up most of the night :( Took her to soft play place this morning to help ensure she ate a good lunch before nap. I ts my plan to make sure she sleeps for a decent amount of time. She's got big bags under her eyes :( Howver, it didn't stop her chatterbox ways. I've had a running commentary from about 3am this morning.

    A: mummy, covers pull up, night night.
    me: humpf, night
    A: Mummy? night dark, not morning. More calpol?
    me: no - now night night, go to sleep.
    A: Mummy? morning! Night! morning! covers pull up, down, up, down, hello toes!
    me: *ignores chatter*
    A: night night mummy. *starts singing head shoulders knees and toes*

    very sweet, but I was exhausted and so was she - DH went to the spare room so A could share with me as her teeth seem to be hurting her lots. after two hours she feel asleep and I finally got some rest. But it was was cute.

    I wanted to pimp my friend's blog - I thought it might be a good thing for some of us to bookmark - all about feeling well and coping strategies when things seem hard :)

    It hurts less than when they check how many cms dilated you are, honestly i promise i am a wimp and as long as you are relaxed you can hardly feel it, imo for the sake of 1 minute of shame its worth the peace of mind.

    Hope everyones ok?

    Went to playgroup this morning, its great, jasmine loved it, not many there but there were twins the same age as her there so that was nice.
