[BrightnessFalls]

[HarrietJones]

Have you read it?

[juneybean]

Who is Conchita's husband? He looks so familiar.

[LeBOF]

Oh, I've missed this so far- I shall turn over now. I'm excited about Sherlock too: I'll miss that next week

[TartyMcFarty]

Me too

[Sparklingbrook]

Enema!

[LeBOF]

Nope- enemas and afterbirths, I can't do that. I'm trying to eat my tea.

[TartyMcFarty]

Minty!

[Mrsrobertduvall]

I'm really disappointed.....don't rate the acting at all.

[southeastastra]

ha dp is moaning at how bbc sunday night this programme is

[HarrietJones]

Dh just said that. He's glad he's at work.

Interesting test for pre eclampsia

[Clawdy]

The whole thing is trying a bit too hard...why are the midwives all so posh?? Hope it gets better.

[bigeyes]

I've sloped off to bed to watch this n sherlock in comfy peace (I'm 35 weeks) I have matchmakers and soft nougat (m&s no less)

uniform out and packed lunch done

[Moln]

you get the feeling no 25 isn't going to go too well?

[Sparklingbrook]

It's like a vv grim OBEM from the olden days.

[bigeyes]

Clawdy, maybe because only the 'posher' classes had access to education and training back then to become skilled workers??? Just a guess

[HarrietJones]

I was just about to suggest that

[bigeyes]

Oh no no25 isn't, a thread on pg board said old fashioned advice about not raising arms re pegging washing out had some truth in it re blood pressure I think, dizziness. Hmm did she trip though

[ZuzuBailey]

Yes, the not so posh would be having all the babies!

[Molehillmountain]

Oh bother! Meant to watch this-which channel is it on?

[Moln]

where loads of the miswives irish? Or was that later than 1957?

My MIL was a miswife in london 1960 and from what she says tons of them were

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

I'm trying to watch it but can't concentrate. Was looking forward to it as I've now successfully given DD2 her marching orders but I'm still a bit distracted and hyper. Will have to see it on iPlayer.

[shesparkles]

In t'olden days you had to pay to train as a nurse, hence the "posher" voices.
It's shaping up well

[Clawdy]

I see your point,bigeyes,but they are not just posh,they're almost Downton!

[Moln]

mind you my mil is irish herself so maybe it's just her friend she went over with that she talks about lol

[Raahh]

Was it really numbe 25?
