    I think it's because her sister Lexi has started and Derek wants to have her babies and she doesn't wanna commit and he's saying he'll wait but he's gonna start dating and I don't want him to date Lexi and I could just shake Meredith and say 'what are you doing?! Derek wants your babies! Take him now!!'.

    I didn't even find her that irritating at first, just lately! McDreamy is amazing - what's she waiting for?!

    Frustrating! :p

    Grace is laughing manically at George Osbourne's speech about this being a budget for those who work hard. Child is a genius.

    Haha Grace knows exactly what is going on. Hope she is feeling better.

    So annoyng about your friends Birdie, definately don't tell them about the fee being less and make someone else organise it now!

    Think my OH may struggle a bit on our flight but we chose British airways over virgin as it had an extra inch lol. He will prob spend half the time chasing Poppy round the plane anyway.

    OH viewed a flat this morning and was ok but they have furniture in it and we have our own furniture so we have asked if they would remove it. If they won't he has another viewing for a flat tomorrow so fingers crossed one will be ok as we are running out of time.

    I consider myself reasonably knowledgeable on finance but this budget might as well be in Punjabi for all I'm following of it.

    I have seen the bit about childcare and we are better off sticking with the vouchers.

    So are we, certainly until we decide to have a second baby. Got the letter through today about a pre-conception councelling meeting in May, interestingly with my previous OBGYN and the endocrinology consultant who thought I had the tumour, and now doesn't. I feel like I'm being ganged up on by the big docs! All I want to ask is to get a drugs plan lined up prior to trying again because the plan last time was shockingly ineffective. I'm in no means ready for another baby, but I am kind of looking forward to the pregnancy part, I'm desperate to do better next time. Guess I better get running and stop scoffing chocolate guiness cupcakes.

    Don't look at it as though you are being ganged up on, instead look at it from the other side - you will only have to tell them once! Instead of being passed around telling them all individually. Go in with everything you want to say/want done and tell them "listen up boys!"

    It's a real shame it's slap bang in the middle of the day, would have been nice to have NIM with me. I tend to get paniced and not ask things because I don't want to take up too much time.
