    She's one in APRIL!!! Scary biscuits. She still has pathetic days though where you'd never know we'd done any training with her....EVER.

  • Bless, so you are going through the teenage years? Ours is actually a lot less trouble than DD2 at the moment...

  • Boo hiss to racing green customer service. It seems to be non-existent. Wonder if they're going into receivership or something. They have completely ignored my requests for instructions about how to send back DH's jersey, which I washed once and the underarm seam fell apart.

    I wonder if I can do a section 75 rejection of part of an order.

  • The cot mattress from baby best buys on amazon hasn't appeared either. Was very naughty and took DD2 to lunch at the pub today.

    Tried to arrange her vaccines, the docs don't know whether she actually had a swine flu jab, how bad is that? They say it is on her medical notes, but I think they have incorrectly written it on DD1's notes. Good job its not something life or death, well, having said that, it could be.

    Mr S order delivered, did a bit of housework today, and walked pupster twice. The yummy pillows have arrived. Go Fogarty customer service, I only ordered yesterday.

    Council tax has been frozen this year, would be good, but I'm sure the standards of service will drop, we can't win.

    Mindwife tomorrow, hoping its my penultimate ante natal contact with them.

  • I have been a human dynamo and

    1. Done a survey for ££££s
    2. Delivered contributions for various school socials to school so I don't forget
    3. Written a report on my governor visit, well one for the kids and one for the governors, including analysing questionnaires
    4. Critiqued property details for MIL's flat, unasked-for but no-one else will question whether the agents have done a good job
    5. Put a load of washing on.

    The new pillows have revolutionised how comfortable a night we have had, wish we had done it earlier. Off to m/w later, getting some on and off waves of back pain, so hoping for some action soon!

  • Thankyou. Seeing the m/w at lunchtime so might see if there is anything she can do...of course it may just be wishful thinking, and the blessed baby mattress hasn't appeared yet.

  • Dog and small girls are jumping in and out of a cardboard box...still niggly, no real baby production going on.
    At home today with marginally poorly DD2 and puppy. Will try to restore some order, but I am sooo tired after doing soooo little.

  • Spent half an hour on the phone to work firming up exam resits. Cot mattress has finally arrived. Cats and Dogs here, and cold.
