    I thought an old lady was dead yesterday. Her little motorised wheelchair thing was stopped in the middle of the street and she was bent over the bars really still.
    So i walked over and she was texting someone! :rotfl: :o

    Oooh, how was he about it? I have never seen a dead body, but someone died in a hotel room when i was at work and no one answered when i knocked so left his room service outside :o :eek:

    That wing stunk for ages aswell _pale_

    He's ok about it, he's a bit of a sicko anyway. I think it was better for him that they were both in their 80's and natural causes I think - so not so much of a shocker iykwim.

    In training they took them to see a body, and it was a teenage girl from a car crash - I suppose they got the worst bit over with first.

    Anyone got any ideas on what to use old baby food jars for?

    I have a ton of them and it seems a waste to throw them out

    Make jam or chutney and use them for little presents. I made blackberry jam yesterday with free blackberries and it is nom! I'm planning to make chilli jam today.

    :jEA- [STRIKE]pic please![/STRIKE] I'm too slow. Defo a faint line there :j.

    3- I think they do get used to it, and if the body is fairly 'fresh' it's not too bad. If it's been there a while I think it is pretty bad :(. My hubby was first at the scene of this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/8589032.stm :(.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    Does Felix know?

    Yeah, i was like "Felix come here please? We need to talk. Its important"

    And he kept saying no as he had Lily on his lap.

    So i was like "Bring Lily then!!" :rotfl:

    We didn't hug or anything though, for a strange reason im not as excited as i was when pregnant with Lily..:(


    Jakesmummy - Yes it was an ebay cheapie. 10miu :D

    I got some 25miu ones from a fertility company and then the CB digi is 50miu. So i'll do that in a few days.

    Its darker in RL :)
  • Awww maybe it just hasnt sunk in???

    I used the cheap ones and they gave me a faint from 10 dpo and it got stronger and stronger each day lol

    That must have been horrific! :(

    I suppose eventually it must just become a normal part of the job! Another reason I couldn't do it.

    I think he was quite worried that his first one was going to be someone who'd been lying dead in their house for a month undetected until the neighbours started to complain about smell/flys! :eek: At least his first were still fresh!
