Woohoo... private sewer transfer day... our thousand meters or so (no one really knows where it goes) of dodgy pitch fiber pipe that keeps collapsing has just become SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM.

Good news indeed! We had such problems with our shared (with 3 other properties) drain, from now on it will be "Allo Veolia Water, your drain is blocked again!" I expect water bills to rise quite considerably though, although the water companies state it will be minimal....

Happy Birthday LJ!

We were woken extra early this morning by ex husband wanting to know if we were awake yet...after one of my 'not able to get to sleep until stupid o clock' nights, I was less than impressed.

Eldest liked my rather modest presents I gave him, all alcohol related I am afraid (which is pretty weird bearing in mind I rarely drink) but it seemed apt. We are all off to my parents after school for him to open his other presents from family and to have a little tea party...oh and to do what he has always promised my dad - to buy him a pint as soon as he was legally able to (although dad drinks wine since his strokes)

We're not sure, but we think dad may have had a smaller stroke over the last week as he had a funny turn while they were away on holiday and has not been right since, so he is going back up to the docs to get it checked out and possibly referred. I'm not going to say anything to eldest though, not right away as since his father has gone, he has seen my dad as the father figure.

Is that even possible without medication at his age?

Although my mate's last pregnancy was under the recurrent miscarriage programme, they were told that - they could jsut have grasped the sh!tty end of the statistical stick.

That's become very much less likely after this one, apparently. Still possible.

Whilst bad luck is a possible explanation, it is very unlikely. According to http://miscarriage.about.com/od/pregnancyafterloss/qt/miscarriage-rates.htm, "about 10% to 20% of women who know they are pregnant have a miscarriage some time before 20 weeks of pregnancy". So, the chance of 5 miscarriages with a satisfactory pregnancy in the middle is less than 4 in 10,000.

They also say, unsurprisingly, that the chances of miscarrying are higher if you have had several of them:
What if I had a miscarriage last time?
With one past miscarriage, the odds of miscarrying in your next pregnancy are about 20% (not much higher than someone without a history of miscarriage). With two previous miscarriages, the risk of another miscarriage is 28%, and with three previous miscarriages the risk increases to 43%. It's possible that having testing for recurrent miscarriage causes might help in these cases.

Not Papas. It was one directly opposite the brand new grand pier. (A quick google earth tells me it was Waterfront Fish Bar). The food was the mutts nuts. Big queue, so everything we got was freshly cooked.

Did Papas 2 years ago when we went. Have to be fair & say that was excellent too!

So, good news then?:D

Very good news... it probably needs replacing in the next fifteen years, and we'd have had to take out a new mortgage:D

Now it is SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM:T

I don't think anyone really has a clue how much sewage bills are going to rise.
