    Good idea.

    Just worried as I have to be careful since the police found him tied up in my boot, luckily I said we were playing cops and robbers so they let me off, not sure how I would get away with him tied up on a roof rack. I would obviously only tie him up for his own safety!! ;)

    Hi lovelies,

    Still no babies!

    Saw a friend today, I was mentioning that our local family information service has no real info on groups, classes, places to meet other parents and she recommended netmums, been having a look, there's so much more on there, and more to do than I'd realised locally which is great, thought some of you might not know about it and might want to take a look :D

    DH and I don't drive though he is learning we are unlikely to be able to afford to run a car when I'm on maternity leave, but we still need a carseat for getting LO home from hospital and when we go in other people's cars so that's our job for tomorrow, hunt out something safe but not too pricey as it will be rarely used.

    Speaking of not driving, any other non-driving families that have made plans for getting to the hospital? Mother wants to take us but I know this sounds awful, I think she might stress me out!! Might look into whether a taxi will take us and keep our options open :rotfl:

    Do you think I could call my baby Cadbury?

    Why not? Mine is going to be called Egg-bert at this rate!

    Happy and Sammie: you are both so kind and self-less, thank you so much! :D
