    pigpen thanks for that we need to change approx 10 rad not all straight away but hoping to save on costs and do it ourselves.

    I am failing miserably with photos someone did post a few weeks ago re how to do it, I think they were using another site to make them smaller and then onto here??? If it is easy could someone let me know if technical dont bother PC skills not up to much!!

    I use THIS SITE

    you can resize them on there.. I usually do the 320 x 240 then post the link below the thumbnail and remove the 'url' bits so it isn't a link

    If I was changing 10 I'd buy them all as and when (pigsback do points for screwfix!!) and do them all at once.. drain the entire system.. there is a tap thing attached to one of the downstairs ones.. usually the kitchen one.. attach a hose pipe and away goes the stinky black water!

    Hi all!! :hello:

    Not "in" this week as such as i have my hands pretty full with this little one..;)
    SARAH.jpg

    Meet our new flybaby - Sarah Catherine
    As nicki already posted.. she came at 2:40am on friday morning after a labour lasting only 4 hrs 27mins according to my notes! :) WASNT induced in the end - ironically after booking the induction at 9:30am for 7:30pm that night.. i started getting niggles in the afternoon and by time i turned up for my induction appointment i was having contractions 4 mins apart and so was whisked over to the delivery room :D

    Actual pushing stage was only 20 mins long so thanks for all the vibes! :) We did have a little trauma as i bled pre-birth and she went into distress so i got sliced then the cord snapped when she was already out and i haemorraged so they threatened me with theatre :shocked: But i insisted they try anything else... and they eventually sorted me out. OH in the meantime got to cuddle little one for the 45 mins they took to sort me out.. and they have been almost inseperable since :D Hes amazing with her and my heart melts everytime see the two of them in there little content moments.. :o:o:o

    He starts his new job at 9am tomorrow though so its just me and little Sarah... oh and the midwife and other visitors :rolleyes:

    Thanks for all the messages... really appreciated them.. made me giggle in the hospital when OH came back from popping the shop downstairs and said "I just got a text...Nicki wants to know what can she tell the flyladies?" :rotfl:

    Off to have some mummy and daddy time for 1/2 hour as shes due for a boobie feed soon..... bye bye! :wave:

    OOHHH how lovely, a new flybaby.. Congratulations, she is so adorable, I am broody now (but too old, and OH had the little operation :grin:)

    Enjoy little Sarah, before you know it she will be a teenager, with attitude. I only said the other day after hearing my teenage DD talk about the hilarious but rude stuff the boys were talking about in class, where is my little baby girl gone? You know the one that smiled and hugged me, cute as anything?
    It really goes so quick.

    Ironed the school uniforms, can't be bothered about making a start on the kitchen.. will start afresh tomorrow (If I don't get called into work)
