hhmmm..ok, your proposal sounds beautiful-I'm starting to go off you!!!! :rotfl:
Great Barrier Island is an Island off the North Island in New Zeland-and it was in a natural hot pool, and hour 1/2's treck into the New Zealand bush. See-my DH found a beautiful location too!!! :rotfl:
BUT I have been to the Great Barrier Reef-so double neh!! :rotfl:
Back to the TTC stuff..I've been trying to find out my companies maternity policy (very surreptitiously!) and have discovered...we don't have one :eek:. I wonder what my boss will do..?!
PS-I do hope you've read this in the joking manner is is meant!! x

hee hee :rotfl:! when we told our friends all of the blokes who hadn't proposed yet were not pleased with my OH! If it makes you feel any better the reason we went there was we were living in Pakistan at the time with lots of bombs and things so the holidays were needed to keep us sane (and so we could drink beer and eat pork)!

d'oh - that will teach me not to speed read. I've not been to great barrier island either but know of it - still super super jealous!

not great about your company's lack of maternity policy - is there anyone very very discreet either in HR or who has recently had maternity leave who you trust to speak to so you can suss things out? They may be able to let you know if your company do contractual maternity leave/pay as well as ordinary maternity leave and SMP.

Magic info about Statutory Maternity Leave aka SML

Lovely engagement stories, jammy gets:p DH gatecrashed my dads 50th bday in the local cricket club, not exactly picturesque but still perfect to me:o Was a surprise as we'd only been together a mere 10 months:D

ETA: Kalama...crikey you don't half get about lady!!! How comes you've lived in different countries(apologies if you've mentioned b4 and I've missed it:o) Hope you don't mind me being a nosy moo either!

Afternoon ladies :hello:

Loving birth stories and proposal stories :T

Regarding weight loss - happy for it to be an indivdual thing rather than on first page, whatever people prefer. I lost 1lb this week, not bad considering my naughtyness!

Super duper tired here - did a 12 hour night shift last night and another tonight. Back to main 'job' tomorrow afternoon - i.e. tackling my big bad final uni assignment...the end is in sight, the end is in sight!

Take care all

whens the weight loss thingy gonna begin??? I've decided to bring myself down to the middle of what I should be rather than the higher end, plus I like a challenge:D I'll be trying to lose 9lbs, should bring me slap bang in the niddle of 'normal':)
