    and my MW was correct when she said that when you have your second, you won't even bother with a birth plan because everything always just goes out of the window! ;)
    I started writing my birth plan for my second over three years ago.

    I tend to post less on here than on FB because I mainly respond to what other people have written and more is posted there than here. Also there are limitations to what can be posted here due to both MSE rules and the public nature of the board.

    Hi ladies

    Just a quick question, TENS machines. Can anyone recommend any or are they pretty all much and such the same?

    Thanks :D

    I had a Lloyds Pharmacy TENS machine and found it good It definitely took the edge off the contractions and I'd probably use one again.

    I try to post on here as well as FB but I sometimes run out of time! I still love to read updates on here though and I particularly love all the pictures of littlies.

    Hurrah for toothy baby!

    Massive list completed including some random bonus stuff. Now Husband and Miss M have gone off to bed so I am going to clear the table from dinner, possibly do some dishes, make my list for tomorrow, finish my assignment and then either take a leisurely bath or go to bed.

    Hope everyone has a lovely night :)

    Have a lovely busy night SS.

    I have to take the microwave and it's brackets off the wall and find a better home for it, then drill and put up brackets in the new position.....It was a flaming nightmare to do first time round, never mind again:(

    Hi all! I try and be around equally here and on FB, Mondays are just very busy for me in general. Your living room sounds lovely, delain and Squeak sounds so cute with her duvet!

    Yay for teeth! :T

    SS, I am laughing at your poor plumber. Though maybe your English education will help him pick a lady with those lines one day :p:p.

    Becles, maybe a MA (MSc?) in sociology is next for you ;)

    Not much going on here tonight. Finn made his first painting this morning with the CM. She took pictures of his war paint-esque face while doing it and they're adorable. I'm wondering when to get things like paints and crayons for him? Probably jumping the gun a bit here!

    Yay :j how exciting but it only seems like yesterday she was born!

    Aless- I would probably go for crayons rather than paint......I've not braved H with paint yet!

    The things I was saying, he'd have an easier task finding a man :o

    Wow, that's a big snake, it must be really hard work pushing that down pipes all day.

    Also, paints :eek: Miss M sometimes has a pencil and I'd consider crayons but paints :eek: :eek: messy mess mess!

    As you may be able to tell by my presence all over the internet, my assignment is not going terribly well. I'm supposed to write what I would say in a situation, but it's the sort of situation where *I* would never say anything close to the recommended amount of words so I am putting words into my hypothetical respondents' mouths and that makes me feel uncomfortable because it's even more artificial than it needs to be. Plus this assignment is very much in the vein of religious-oriented counselling (talking about ministry and Jesus and the Biblical view of relationships) and my cheerful heathen self has no clue.


    Ooh, funny story: Husband took Miss M to Gymboree earlier on, he wore a shirt of the band we went to see at the weekend. Apparently wearing a Cherry Poppin' Daddies shirt to a toddler group didn't go over so well :rotfl: think I'll take her on Friday in my fitted girly shirt.
