    :j:j:j Delain - what great news!

    Edit: re underpaid postage I'd send an email first asking for the £1.10 back and see what they said.

    How do you get nuby freebies?!

    The camera on my phone is useless it has a huge delay lol

    See Smartie Daisy is well behaved on the outside :D:D

    On another happy note they said they don't think I've got MS :D Though the condition I've got *can* be a forerunner but they don't think it's likely in my case :D

    I got 1 nuby freebie via a form in a mag and the other via facebook when they had a comp a while ago to email them the Nuby toy Ian Beale had on Eastenders!!:o:rotfl:

    Oh she's nothing like the devil child she was in mummy's tummy delain!!:A:rotfl:

    And that's great news about the MS:T

    I'm so pleased you like it and hope L will too. Will it be going in her girlie birthday hamper?

    It is. The hamper is looking quite big and bulging now, and very pink and sparkly. She'll love it.

    Just out of curiosity, what happens if you don't have a partner and you only work 10hrs. What would she get then, would she loose her wage?

    If you were a single parent and only working 10 hours, you'd be entitled to some IS still (along with the HB & CTB that goes with it) I think.

    We've had three nuby freebies so far, a giggling lion, some spoons and the sports cup. I just enter anything on their fb page as they seem to give loads away and don't mind you entering everything.

    SS - How about dressing Molly as an elf or a christmas pudding?

    SS, you could dress Molly up as a little reindeer, brown trousers and top, antler headband and a little red nose. I'm so not allowed to dress madam up, but may do it when OH at work.

    Delain :T for Squeakie smiles, so cute.

    Smartie, very glad Daisy's not the devil child she was for you on the preggo thread.

    Ahhh I see! Sometimes I miss facebook. Not that often though :rotfl:

    EA those bird trousers are funky! I'm off to get squeak some clothes when I get the CB lol and as we only registered her yesterday we haven't had anything for her yet :o:o

    I bought her some smaller size (0-3m) clothes before she was born and they all drowned her so she had a lot bought for her when we were in hospital in newborn, now she needs 0-3 and 3-6m to see her through the winter, and Christmas bits to get as well, esp for my mum and my nan who have been legends when I was ill. There are just too many people in my family :rotfl:
    Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession :o:o

    I'm due a smear, I missed my last one when I was pregnant, and haven't been since. I'm on annual ones after having some dodgy cells zapped years ago. My problem is that the new nurse at our surgery is the wife of a work colleague and I really don't want her looking at my flower and going home to discuss it with husband over dinner. :rotfl: I'm sure they have better things to talk about, but it's just weird. I think we have drop-in lady clinics around the area, I should look into it.

    I went for a smear at our doctors. The nurse was making polite conversation while she was busy down there and asked if I was going on holiday that year. I said no because we were just about to move home. She asked where I was moving to and I told her the street and village. She said "it's not number x is it?" and I said yes, and she said "ooh I've live opposite, I'll be your new neighbour" :o:rotfl:

    Deffo go for regular tests though ladies. I've had abnormal cells removed and I had absolutely no idea they were there before the smear.

    My Mam has had Charlotte this morning as I was revising but they popped in before nursery. I asked what she did at Granny's house and she said "Marks and Spencer didn't ring again." I said "oh, were you expecting them to?" and she said "yes, we still haven't sorted out the icing for the cheesecakes." I just said "maybe they'll ring after school," and left it at that as I've absolutely no idea what she's on about!
    Here I go again on my own....

    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.
    It didn't hurt at all when they checked how far I was dilated.
