  • If someone invents that snooze button I would be most grateful ta!

    I think mfd said something about the first page, active users then search by location??? I may well be wrong as I couldn't work it out

    I tried that, but it's very faffy. I assumed there was an easier way, as that's a lot of effort just to snoop! :p

    Evening lovelies,

    Tintedweb has been down for a few days, no chance of catching up with you lot lol!

    Cafc, I have not been 'nice' since dec 09 either, was paranoid for the first twenty weeks of pg then spd from 21 weeks and having a knee opening of 17 cm put paid to any ideas after that, am having implant put in in a few weeks and think he might be expecting some 'niceness' after that. Though am a bit unsure of how we go about it after all this time. Also paranoid about apron belly and wizard sleeve hooha! Sorry if tmi!!!

    Took baby b for swimming this morning and we did submersion, I was terrified but she thought it was actually hilarious, was soooooo cute!

    We haven't been nice to oh since July 09 :( oh was terrified when I was pregnant, then I was healing and now i think we are too scared :o

    I'm scared and unsure how to go about instigating niceness, think may book a night away without kiddies and make sure there's wine about, and see if nature takes it's course.....

    At the risk of being extremely indelicate and/or revealing too much about our house activities, there are ways of being nice, at least to the man, which do not involve the exact same process as procreation does... they count, at least some of us think they do!
    Although that said a gap over a year would have me anxious, not through frustration but for all the other reasons :o Plus there is something said for being nice to the lady too of course...

    A bit early for posts like this.... :p:eek:

    Those are frequently our preferred and risk-free options too Bruno :)

    I think we had about a four month gap between stopping niceness because I was too pregnant and resuming post-recovery. That's about as long as I wanted it to be, a longer one would have made me a bit nervous :o
