    Sorry to hear about Phoebe WM :(

    I have woke up sick, I suspected I was about to get summat as I kept sneezing and my nose was running but woke up this morning with my throat on fire, nose and eye streaming. Oh joy.

    Keira has a Halloween party at nursery. She's going as Alice lol - OH and you should see Archie, he's going FRANTIC to try and eat the netting on the underskirt, I'm going nuts, I shot a head of broccoli at him, WHY WONT HE LEARN? Honestly, does he not remember LAST time he ate that? I will cone him! I will! I have a spare one lying around, I will give him self inflicted cat depression if he's going to nark me.

    Woke me up like 5 times in the night scratching at my door and crying, he sounds like a siamese female cat in heat "MOWWWWWWWWWW? OOOOoooOOOAH?" :mad:

    For WM :)

    A Poem to a Master from a Dog Gone to the Bridge

    The day you laid me down to sleep
    you prayed to the Lord; my soul to keep
    I know you had to send me on my way
    but you sent me to a new; better; and much brighter day
    You sent me home; to heaven above
    where I'm cradled in God's arms; covered with His love
    I understand what you did; you did out of love
    and I'll return that love; from my new home above
    My sickness is gone; and I'm free here to roam
    I run and play in the meadows; here in my new home
    We play here by the Bridge; from morning to night
    there is no rain here; just warm sunlight
    I know you all miss me; I miss you all too
    but I'll always be with you; whatever you do
    Please wipe the tears; from your weeping eyes
    by remembering the good times; from days gone by
    When you look out; into the dark of night
    I'll be that bright star; your guiding light
    We'll meet again at the Bridge one day
    when we'll walk in the light; together to stay
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Got an email back, she said just to put a note in with my ID and that will be fine :)

    She also said it's about a week from sending it to getting it back, so I'll just tell her I'll send it once I'm back as I can't be refused from the Marina gig :eek:

    Shouldn't matter anyways as I don't get paid until the end of Dec, so plenty of time to realise I'm not illegal.

    Im deffo going to change by deed poll though, be much easier if I get my drivers and passport to "stephen"

    Buttons have you looked around for any proper info? there might be a something you can do rather than paying for deed poll.

    I had a quick look but I think I will have to pay for deed poll to change my name for the official documents. I mean I can get by without it, but it does cause a massive carry on, with ID and the likes, cause you need deed poll to change your name on passport etc don't you?

    I've been using my surname for about 15 years, and in Scotland that's enough I think, cause my bank cards etc say my assumed name. It's a total pickle hehe. I think deed poll is like £33? I had a look at the Scottish registrar and they do it ,but for £36? Like whats that about lol

    TNV: Camerawise, I was wanting to ask the same thing LOL. My last pics of Theo are quite clear but thats as my friend took them with his Sony SLR camera, I have an old Sony that is terribly blurry and because Theo doesn't keep still it cant focus on him, I keep missing taking photos of him smiling :( he also stops smiling as soon as he sees my camera, LOL. I am keeping my fingers crossed we get the surestart grant as I am hoping to use that towards a new camera.

    LOL Smartie at potential boyf! You never know, they are very close in age! ;) The sleepsuit is from Next, its velour and lovely and soft, I am not sure at availability as I think my sis got it from their sale. We've got quite a lot of yellow next stuff she got him and people always assume T is a girl when he is wearing it LOL. I love Daisy's outfit she wore to sainsburys sale, looks adorable!

    Workingmummy: So sorry to hear you had to have your dog put down *hugs* even when your expecting it it doesn't make it any easier, my dog is 13 and I am dreading the day something happens...

    Does anyone know when periods normally return following having a baby? I had a dream last night I was pregnant and its terrified me...

    I had a paranoid moment too when I had my pill break and it took 6 days for AF to show up :eek:

    You can get pregnant before you've had a period though, so you might want to check just in case :eek:

    Why would you say something so true to someone ignorant like me. :p

    I live in a perpetual fear that I will end up pregnant, and not know about it, until it pops out 9 months later and I'd be like :eek::eek::eek::(:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Hey I meant to ask why are you changing your name?

    I always have scares. And being proud mum to 4 surprise bundles of joy I'm getting used to it:rotfl:

    I was so relieved this time I almost cried :o because I had an MMR booster less than 3 months ago so if I had been PG that would have been a serious problem :(
