    That's ok thanks anyway. :) I don't mind if it stays at this level of pain as it's manageable at the mo but don't want it to get too bad.

    I have put a box (of paper or something not sure what it is!) which is not too high under my dest and I am resting my feet on it rather than the floor so will see if that helps things.

    Oh a warm bath helps on particularly bad days.

    Just been to Tesco for goodies for my baby shower, I want to do a kind of afternoon tea cause it starts at 2pm, so too late to feed people lunch and too early for dinner! So I'm going to make sandwiches (cream cheese and cucumber, cheese and pickle and chicken salad, on white and brown), I've got lots of cupcakes and tarts and then two big bowls of pick'n'mix and a biscuit tin, along with tea, coffee, wine and pink lemonade. Is that enough do you think?

    Have you been seen by a physio in relation to SPD/PGP? The exercises they recommend help. Have a look here:

    That sounds lovely Lilian. I am going to be organising a baby shower for myself , with help of my sis and that sounds like a good idea for food.

    Thanks Teenie

    Well spoke to my work and apparently they were deducting a nice whopping 545 off my payslip this month because of the sickness I was nearly in tears which made the guy feel a bit sorry for me I think as he then said he'll split it over two months instead so I lose 270 a month :( I have no idea how we will even get through this next two months - we havent got enough for bills let alone food :( Im just in tears I dont know what to do - we've contacted jobcentre and we're not entitled to anything (apart from jobseekers for oh) because of how much we earned in the last tax year - how do they work this stupid thing out?!?!? money i earned last tax year has been spent on bills that tax year so what help is it going to be :(
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

    Annibee - I'm so sorry for your situation, it's not what you need at the moment. Looking at your signature it looks like you've spent some time over on the Debt Free Wannabe board already but I'd suggest getting back over there and doing a new Statement of Affairs to see if there's anywhere you can make extra cut backs? Also, try calling one of the free debt advice charities to see if there's anything else you can do. [hugs] xx

    Lauren/Chakani - I went for the La Bassine - which was on offer for £90 recently for the whole kit - I liked the size and the colour. The Aquaborn looks like some inflatable frog to me!

    Lauren, be wary cos it does say these are factory seconds and also its not a kit so you'll need to get a hose and tap connectors to fill it, water themometer, strainer, pump for emptying and tarpulin/shower curtain to cover the floor. So it may cost you a fair bit more in total.

    Hello people,
