    Only hurt pride tweets, thanks :A

    Hope you dont get too wet today, just done the school run and it is horrid out there.

    Congrats CoT - my gd1 is expected any day now :) Already have a gs who is almost 2. Dd1 wants me and oh to be with her at the birth as we were for her first....would like to, but this time she has the support of her partner (who is brill) and I feel it might seem we are pushing him out abit :( Am thinking we go to support her but take a back seat as much as possible. Last time oh was the "rock" and I cut the cord :) Would like her oh to be the one who does both those things for her this time but don't want her to feel we're not there for her.

    I'm in a small minority (it seems) of people who do not want their mothers/parents at the birth. I find it really strange and my mum certainly doesn't want to see me in that state. Having had 2 children I can honestly say that the last thing I'd want at that point in time is my mum and dad peering up my floo. :o But that's just me :rotfl:

    Awww, know the feeling. DD2 wanted the robot one and got the scuba diver. DS2 got the vampire and swapped with his sister for the scuba diver :rotfl: Both fairly happy now but neither got the ones they really wanted

    Well if either want the snotty professor I'll send it :rotfl: doubt it'll get there for today though!! Mines desperate for a vampire bless him. Think I'll let him have one last go :D

    :rotfl::rotfl:That made me laugh Sparkly :rotfl::rotfl: I felt the same when I had all of mine, only me and oh in the room. She was on her own at the time though and wanted us there with strict instructions to stay away from the "business end" :eek: All that went to pot when labour went into full swing and none of us cared who was where or saw what. It was actually quite a bonding experience fo all of us, oh is dd1s' stepdad but has been around since she was 6 so he brought her up with me.

    Now she has her partner though, I think it would be nice for them to share the experience together without us peering in from the corner of the room.

    I'm not sure of their source but they reckon this might be availble to all tomorrow

    ta for this :j

    the milkshakes seem to be £1.30 everywhere so OK for going on the sada v !!!!!! list - but mys has some varieties with a * so Ive put certain varieties onto the list.

    the yogs seem to be 50p in sainsbobs so these would be good on the
    sada v sainsbobs
    list with 3 ciders :T
    and hashbrowns for Shopotize - this list is still too short though

    and it all depends if you trust mys prices :D

    just checked and on Quidco clicksnap you can get one margs yog from sainsbobs for 50p and another from sada for 99p and a milk shack

    so in theory you could go to sainsbobs get mars yog, milkshake and also the 2l pepsi max £1 for Shopotize

    We can do swappsies if you want, dd2 says she would be happy to swap her vampire for the snotty professor. Prob be early next week before they get them though so not sure if your little one will still want it by then. Let me know and we can pm details if you want to go ahead :)
