    Part of the Furniture Photogenic Combo Breaker
    I read that first line and thought maybe I would come visit you. Then I read the second one :rotfl:. (Not that I don't want to come visit you of course, but I might get someone else to do my ears ;) )

    I cant seem to do them evenly, i can do boys ears perfectly though! :rotfl:

    I want to do a piercing course, not sure why though :D

    If you had a friend who was consistently scoring in the high teens on the Edinburgh test, what advice would you give them?

    Speak to her GP. I scored quite high *cough* 29 *cough* and along with lots of other things i thought i would go to my doctor.. Thats a lie, my DH made me go actually :p

    don't you just put stuff in the pram basket?
    I either load the pram and then amaze the cashier with my magically appearing shopping :p or use my jute shopping bag or I also have one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shopping-Basket-Folding-Aluminium-Frame-BNIP-/140458439396?pt=UK_Tickets_Travel_Luggage_CA&var=&hash=item6672820583 I got mine a bit cheaper than that from lidl a while back.
    Iin looking for that I discovered there are loads of shopping baskets on ebay - dunno why I'm surprised? you can get everything on ebay!

    I would Sami, but I must look dodgy cos every time I go in Aldi I get followed about by the security guard. Those folding baskets are rather cool though.

    I would offer her some tea/coffee/biscuits tell her that you are there if/when/however she needs you. I would suggest to her that she (I'm presuming its aa she) needs to speak to her HV or GP. IF baby is little, then HV is a good place to start. Perhaps booking an appointment with GP would also help - some health professionals in the same practice speak to each other :D

    Also if she seems scaared/unwilling remind her that it could be many things making her feel this way and that medication isn't the only option. COuld you offer to be there when HV visits next to help prompt her or keep baby while she goes to GP? Practical support and getting 1/2 an hour to yourself can do amazing things.

    All the above also goes for your friend even if said friend is a man. If said friend is you, then let me offer some hugs and say that my advice stands, and while none of us can offer to look after bubs for you, we can offer tea, sympathy, hugs, support and let you into the secret that many of us have been in a similra situation. :A

    Afternoon all..

    I came home from work poorly sick :cool: I'm not mega ill, I just don't feel quite right (tummy like a washing machine) so I abandoned today and am going to work Thur/Fri instead - the benefits of being a part-timer ;) My boss wasn't in when I left so I left him an email, along with another manager, and they've both txt me this afternoon to make sure I'm okay and tucked up warm with "hot chocolate and hobnobs", bless 'em!

    Caspie, do you have an Alfie bear? He says "I'm a happy/sleepy/hungry bear" along with some songs and ABC and 123 type stuff :)

    My mum said they have snowsuits in B&M this week for £5.99. Nothing amazing but good enough for putting on if you're only nipping out for a short while. Must go investigate once I fancy driving again (spun my car in the snow/ice when I was pregnant and now all a bit scaredy! :o).

    It's still snowing with us.. about 6-7inches now. Thought it was all over but it's been a whiteout this afternoon, now we have hail, and last night we had thundersnow :D All nice to watch once you're tucked up inside!

    Hope everyone is keeping well xx

    yipee for wellies SS! Hope Molly has fun.

    Annabel has become quite attached to this new phrase 'no like it', So far she's said it to every toy i've produced this afternoon, every snack or meal I've produced today and everytime there's been a noise. I'm starting to ignore her opinion ;)

    ETA - you're going out in THIS!!! It's back to blizzard conditions with us!
