    Thank you :)

    I know I'm being a wuss, and I am laughing at my own wussiness, but honestly, I feel like someone has chopped my right arm off.

    I remember feeling like this with Ryan too though, so I'm sure it will pass once she's been a couple of times.

    Still haven't done any housework though, so I must be coping okay! :D

    Linda, I had that exact feeling coming home from nursery with an empty pram! And also, I thought people might think I was the town nutter, taking an empty pram out for a walk and pretending I had a 'baby', when really all that was in the pram was my (stylish yet affordable) handbag. :rotfl:

    PS: Where abouts in West Yorks are you?
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Yes, that's her, although I'm just trying to choose a new avatar at the moment....sometimes the photos look nice until you upload them and then they look all squashed.

    I'm in South Leeds, so probably not a million miles from you. :)

    I'm trying to find it - I've lost it! :rotfl:

    I changed it for a different one then decided I didn't like it, so put that one on temporarily...and now I don't know where the old one is! :doh:

    That one isn't her best look is it - she was climbing onto me and dribbling while I was trying to do my crunches! :D

    Hey all! I need you to keep me sane - my OH is currently at an interview (his first since the redundancy) and i'm faaaaaaar more nervous than he is! It's a fab job, good money and sounds prestigious (which will do us a favour when we move back up North, if he says he once worked there, haha) - but more than that I want him to get it to make himself feel good again - it's hard keeping him smiling some of the time and I know he hates relying on my wages..
    SO good Karma people!!! xxx

    Found it!

    Yes, a double buggy must look even stranger. Forgetting one child could be considered unfortunate, but forgetting two is just plain careless. :rotfl:

    Doesn't it feel light with no-one in it though - going up and down pavements is WEIRD!
