Also got a huge bag of free maternity stuff from a colleague today! Hooray!!

commsgirl · 10/09/2013 17:03

Well done Pram

Fox Our local data (2010/11) - 250 births at MLU, 86 transfers, 8 emergencies. All good outcomes. 50 postnatal transfers, 1 emergency. The last national study showed 17% transfers pre-delivery from MLUs, 5% postnatally. Guess where I work...

Yes! Michael Le Vell not guilty. Lying little bitch.

My all day sickness has been replaced by ravenous hunger.

Good work on the squirrel pram!

IceNoSlice · 10/09/2013 17:08

Pram I don't think most folks who already have kids do antenatal classes, unless there is a big gap. So most people will be first timers and hence cannot witter on about their kids!

Quick question about maternity exemption card. How long does it take to get back to you?

I posted it last Monday and not had anything back
Should I start chasing?

LyraSilvertongue · 10/09/2013 17:35

Pram, do you know how she knew him? None of the reports I've read explained this so it's rather confusing.

Lib, I got mine within about two weeks I think.

LyraSilvertongue · 10/09/2013 17:46

I also "rescued" a baby squirrel once. I found it in the garden and brought it inside. But I was a bit late. It already had flies' eggs laid in it's mouth and it didn't survive the night. Poor thing.
Lol at Pram lobbing it over the wall Grin

PramQueen1971 · 10/09/2013 17:52

Lyra, I regret calling her a bitch, she's obviously got issues. I don't know how she knew him but she has destroyed his life. I feel so bad for him. Ugh! at flies in mouth. What's for tea, Lyra?

lyra i have not been sick this whole time and that just nearly got me puking all over myself!!! hahaha!

LyraSilvertongue · 10/09/2013 18:09

It's confusing. Maybe she's a relative and they couldn't say for fear of identifying her. For an innocent man, there can't be anything worse than being accused of raping a child. I wonder how long till he's back on Corrie.

This evening we have dined on macaroni cheese served with leftover roast lamb in a nice gravy and sugar snap peas. Bit of an odd combo but tasty. What about you? Pie butty?

LyraSilvertongue · 10/09/2013 18:10

Grey, I was outraged at the fly that had the cheek to lay its maggot eggs in the poor thing's mouth when he wasn't even dead yet.

SoSurprised · 10/09/2013 18:11

How is everyone finding work? I am so exhausted when I get home. I can barely keep my eyes open past 9.

Beccadugs · 10/09/2013 18:21

I'm finding work a nightmare... We're out for dinner tonight, tables not til 8.30... Help!!

rescoonetwothree · 10/09/2013 18:22

lyra that really is taking liberties isn't it - horrible little creatures! flies not squirrels, even though squirrels are vicious bastards. pram maybe you are the squirrel whisperer?

rescoonetwothree · 10/09/2013 18:25

also have we heard from blockette recently?

MummyPig24 · 10/09/2013 18:26

Oh no poor squirrel!

I had some of the kids tuna pasta bake earlier because I would have died if I hadn't eaten then. I might do a chilli for me and dh later.

I'm exhausted and ds is being spectacularly hideous, he's been sent to bed early and is screaming his head off. I warned him he would go to bed and he kept on so there he is.

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 10/09/2013 19:03

Liberuna I got my card back nearly 2 weeks after I sent it off.

liberuna · 10/09/2013 19:15

thanks Lyra

Work is getting exhausting can barely keep my eyes open by the end. doesn't help that I'm still going through redundancy consultations.

Urgh They've offered to extend my stay for a couple of weeks to finish a work project. because I'm going to be a happy, motivated employee while i wonder if I'm going to be able to pay my rent, are u kidding me!?

MTBMummy · 10/09/2013 19:30

Another one finding work a chore, I'm yawning from about 3pm and in bed by 9, such a glamorous life :-)

Jolleigh · 10/09/2013 19:34

New hair cut done...pics on FB very soon...

Prambo · 10/09/2013 19:37

Spag bol tonight, Lyra.

Becca, enjoy what sounds like a lovely night with your brothers (blimey! Your mum was busy with that lot eh?)

Mummy, I have to say your life sounds utterly exhausting!

Grey, we haven't heard from Blockette for yonks. Is she on fb?

Bleddy footie means I've had to record Bake Off and Midwives. Don't tell me owt, Martians!

Prambo · 10/09/2013 19:38

Grin at squirrel whisperer. The little tart tried to bite me! I'm not entirely sure why I thought a Tesco carrier bag wrapped around my hand would protect me from a rodent attack Hmm

lumpylumps · 10/09/2013 19:43

I found a heartbeat!!!!! Ds1 wanted to know how I'd made a hole in my tummy!!!

rescoonetwothree · 10/09/2013 19:45
