Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't read back yet as I've only just got on. Have no broadband (or phone yet either), but lovely hubby bought me a mobile dongle so that I wouldn't suffer too much from the withdrawal pains!
Anyway, have now MOVED!!! It was a bit touch and go, especially when Freddie came down with vomiting and diawoowoo on Thursday, but we did it. Now surrounded by boxes...
Hope you are all alright and hugs to anyone who needs them.

Glad you've made it and sorry to hear about Freddie, hope he's better now

Kitkat - I've never suffered with a bad back but since having T it goes through stages of being really bad (well it feels bad to me, it's probably not really lol) My Mum pointed out it would be the epidural, I hadn't made the connection. I found rubbing the lush muscle bar on it really helped. (works a bit like deep heat but doesn;t smell as bad!)

A friend of mine picked up Husband's Christmas gift from Molly and said she would post it last week. She still hasn't posted it, and because she is in Edinburgh it is unlikely to arrive in time for Christmas if she posts it. I just tried to organise a courier and either I spend £90 for it to arrive *possibly* on the 23rd or it won't arrive for Christmas.

She knows it's a Christmas gift and has just been faffing for a week.

*fume*

Epic trip to collect my parents from the airport, there was a fire alarm in the underground system and a subset of trains weren't running in the central zone. So Miss M and I took a tram to a different underground and then that underground to the eastern main station where we eventually picked up the airport train. Came home to find that after my offer last week to organise a courier was refused she's not actually been to a PO in all that time so *fume*

Hopefully she'll get there tomorrow and get it sent straight off for you before the next lot of bad weather kicks it. It's so frustrating when people let you down like that

GISI - I would usually have sandwich meat and salad. I don't do mayo (bleurgh) but I guess I could give it to him (if DH mixed it up with tuna for me!) Egg is one I'm waiting on for now as FIL has an egg allergy

GILL, Please don't forget that mayo contains egg!!!! D is no longer allerigc to dairy but is still highly allergic to egg. I have forgotten too many times about egg in mayo and I would hate T to suffer as D has

Totally original - I tried her with the Clangers as well but she didn't like it. Bagpuss is next on my list in case she gets bored of Ivor. My main concern is that she loves the music and it's all hymns. There's only so much Cwm Rhondda and Land of my Fathers I can stand!

We have a Bagpuss Dvd as I used to love it. D really isn't terribly interested so I could arrange fairies

Not really keeping up to date here. I have not got much energy since the meningitis I will try harder..... soon . I really hope you are all Ok. I have only quoted the above messages as they are the only ones I really have had anything remotely useful to say ...... maybe :rotfl:

If anyone felt like writing an outline angry e-mail to Emma's Diary for me so that all I need to do is add the details of all the times I've unsubscribed and they've e-mailed me I would be very grateful. They're still sending me them and I all my complaint energies have gone into the hospital complaint.

Dear xxx,

I am writing to express my concern at having been unable to unsubscribe from pregnancy emails after xxx attempts at doing so as described in your terms and conditions :

"I wish to unsubscribe from Emma's Diary, how do I do this?
Please log in to your Emma's Diary account and click the manage your account button at the top of the page if you wish to stop receiving emails. If you would rather leave the programme completely please send us an email through 'Contact Emma' and we will be able to remove you from our system."

Having followed these instructions faithfully on xxx occasions I have unfortunately still received xxx emails from yourselves.

As you are affiliated to the Royal College of General Practitioners, you will doubtless be aware that 1 in 4 known pregnancies results in a miscarriage.

Since this is the case, I consider it to be part of your duty of care to your users to desist sending emails about pregnancy to those who have requested their cessation and with immediate effect.

To fail to do so, albeit due to any technical failure in your system, portrays your organisation as unfortunately insensitive to the women who are the key users of your site. For this reason, I was sure you would wish to be made aware of this technical issue.

I am sure then that you will wish to remedy this unfortunate problem, and I look forward to your speedy resolution of it.


Yours Faithfully

xxxxx

Rmac I get the same around here, such disapproving looks when i get a bottle out to feed T, I get lots of people saying 'oh so your not feeding him yourself', tried to explain about expressing but that gets an even more horrified look so now I just say he is being fed baby milk does it matter where from. Some people!

not sure if those interest you.

Vitamins, Chris had Abidec vitamin drops and asda omega capsules (that you open and squirt in to yoghurt or porridge) i think they've stopped doing the fish oil things now tho.
Warning tho, be VERY careful with Abidec as it stains everything it touches bright orange, I used to mix it in he b-fast to avoid spillage stains, it also has peanut oil or something in it so check the ingredients.

I don't give Ed any suppliants, I'm slack 2nd time mummy, he's lucky I cba to spoon feed him his cereal
