    Ah well hope your chest is feeling better soon.

    i am the same about sick leave. I once went in with virtually no voice, and had to mime to the children...I could do a mean squawk as well. The only time i wasn't let in was when i was on crutches, their insurance wouldn't cover me if i had any accidents.

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    I am now picturing a parrot with a curly mullet, squawking at the kids! :rotfl:

    Lol BOB!!! :rotfl:

    Helloooo lovely Pania :wave: I was just about to come over and catch up with your diary - it's such a nuisance when work gets in the way of MSE and I get behind on all the gossip! Hope you're okay - any news on the job front yet?

    Don't worry, the good stuff about being a Mum outweighs the bad stuff by quite a big margin, so it's all worth it - plus when you deliver the afterbirth (yeah, they don't tell you that you have to push something else out after the baby either :rolleyes:....and don't get me started on afterpains!! :eek:), it takes 50% of your brain cells with it, so you don't really care that your boobs are either too swollen or too saggy, and your stomach resembles a road map of the British Isles. :)

    hellooo snaggles!

    Currently accepted the job that my company offered me but still looking elsewhere for other things. Loooads to update on!!! :)

    in training right now, can't find our manager so we are having a sneaky extended lunch break!

    be back home later with an update!! :)

    hope that you are ok and had to laugh at the benefits, i guess it takes 9 months to get there but the bundle of joy at the end is worth it!

    Sorry Maz - I forgot about the official motherhood secrets act forbidding us to let on about the mooing, the pooing, the tearing (or cutting), the stitches, the lochia, the not-being-able-to-walk-or-sit-down-for-a-week, the 'first wee' (in fact the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th wees!), the boob pain, the mushy-brainedness...........remind me again what the good bits are?? :D

    Just had a catch up on your diary P and it all sounds like positive news - I'm really pleased for you. :T
