Hellyboo (((hugs)))

I breastfed but I would not DREAM of telling others that's what they should do.

I got a 'slagging' from a MW when I requested an elective c-section for DD having been through a horrendous time attempting, and failing, to deliver DS. But another MW (scanning me) said if that's what you want you ask for it - so I asked again and got it.

If you feel up to it, write and complain. They should be supporting all mums without prejudice.

Help?

Should Ds (and I) be looking at UNIs NOW? He is in y12...

Evening :beer: DD and I had a fab time at Loughborough, and she screen-printed a t-shirt Great art department, but as we live in a tiny place she's worried it may not be exciting enough for her Think she's going to apply and see what happens :T

Has she looked at the male to female ratio ? I lived there for six months of my course, having spent the first couple of years commuting from Leicester. It is a great place to live and has a very high concentration of students, but you do end up going to Nottingham for shopping, etc.

Litter tray emptied, kitchen table cleared, our bedding now in TD. Mountains to do, glad I am off tomorrow.

DS is thinking of Loughborough. He wants to do sport (or law). Looks like we'll be starting 'really' looking at Easter.

I have FINALLY got round to shredding my Form E (which was about 2cm THICK :eek:) - it will be picked up by the recycling tomorrow:D
Have also put a couple of garments aside for a charity shop. As they are M&S I think I JUST might pop them to Oxfam. Separately of course:p
I seem to have a 'declutter and be organised' head on atm!

Helly awh angel thats not right - dont let her away with that - you are doing right by your kiddies or you wouldnt be getting upset - as you said she knows nothing about you or the circumstances so she has no right to making comments like that - I hope you got on ok at the docs - if the HV is connected to the GP surgery then write to the manager of the surgery. Mums need support not stupid criticism based on her personal opinion - and just you tell me where she is and the flylady bus will be paying her a visit - ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!

love and huge hugs
try not to dwell on it
