    Please only read if you don't mind childbirth talk!!


    I hate to say it choclover but there are prostaglandins in semen! (the same as the drug found in the induction gel/pessary) hate to say it but it does work (if he will oblige!). Ripens up the cervix!

    Ps. I have heard that someone got a little confused from a former colleagues advice, and thought the said semen had to be ingested (if you get my drift!) sorry to be so graphic!

    Both mine were late and I was told this (about...um...ingesting it :eek:) lots of times but decided against it as it was clearly a rumour started by a MAN :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi all,

    Sorry to interrupt the baby talk - I still have a lot of posts to catch up with too!

    But.... clears throat... after my second successful ppi claim I am now

    DEBT FREE!!!!

    I feel so weird but really proud of myself. In a few years I have gone from just over 23K to 0! I've been working really hard so it's such a relief

    I need to set myself a savings target now and figure out how to motivate myself to do that - I need a house deposit :rotfl:

    I'll catch up on the posts later, I'm too hyper just now :rotfl:

    Thanks everyone it feels good but to be honest I don't think it has sunk in yet, maybe next wage without the normal bills will help!

    I need to save for a deposit now so I can (re)start my life over again so once I calm down I will come up with a plan for that :j

    I must admit I was a bit :eek: about the baby talk - I don't have any and doubt I will now :rotfl:

    I'm off for a relaxing bath and will catch up on the pages of posts I've missed tomorrow!
