Would it get me anywhere do you think? I'm very good at writing them..but somewhat jaded about their futility...

Shall I set up an 'SPD hell' website where people can nominate things like:

Most stupid doctor's comment award
Worst hospital advice leaflet
Most patronising mw
Crappest health authority
Most unoriginal research
Most inventive use of a free tubigrip

etc etc

mathsmummy, email me at boffinmum at hotmail dot co dot uk and I will send you mine to copy bits from, if you like.

brettgirl2 · 19/01/2009 19:49

You weirdo Boffin - if I'd known I'd have posted them all to you from the bottom of our tin!

BoffinMum · 19/01/2009 19:51

We fight over them in our house. They are the first to go.

brettgirl2 · 19/01/2009 19:51

I must admit I quite like my tubigrip, not sure it helps much with the pain, but it makes my bump a better shape under clothes

Write it, at least you will feel that you have done something.

KittyCatIsGettingFat · 19/01/2009 19:53

THAT's why I love you ladies... between us we can polish off a whole box of Quality Streets with NOT ONE fight!! That's gotta be a first!!

brettgirl2 · 19/01/2009 19:53

But they don't even have any chocolate on and taste like Werther's (sp?) Original.

mathsmummy27 · 19/01/2009 19:57

omg I have just eaten flash surface cleaner - help!

KittyCatIsGettingFat · 19/01/2009 20:10

Mathsmummy - really??? Boffin - FirstAider deluxe - what should she do? Drink milk?

frostyfrekkles · 19/01/2009 20:10

I agree boffin, in that things not being fantasy is often where reality goes wrong! ok, i'll join in the fantasy commune thing.

distracts nutty and steals green triangle and purple one from under her nose

my nipples went blue today! Got caught in the snow whilst flat hunting, and my nipples got so cold they were agony. Got home and was trying to warm them up and noticed they had actually gone a weird shade of blue! Is this normal ladies? Is this pregnancy related? It's never happened to me before*

mathsmummy27 · 19/01/2009 20:11

???? help!

brettgirl2 · 19/01/2009 20:12

Have you eaten a lot of it?

mathsmummy27 · 19/01/2009 20:15

I froze some orange juice earlier, in an ice cube tray that I had rinsed this morning..but DH had sprayed it liberally with surface cleaner. Only found out when I had eaten half of the ice cubes and realised the weird taste was not just me or lipbalm....eek. I remember thinking there was something in it but thought it was wate from where I had rinsed it earlier (!?)

DH is shouting at me for being irresponsible now

BabyBolat · 19/01/2009 20:21

Hey girls - away for a day and 140 messages later!! - I love that you lot chat as much as me!

mathsmummy, really? what does it say on the bottle? maybe give the NHS direct people a call...

In the fantasy commune I can clean like a demon (have slight OCD!), I organise things alot (everything is alphabetical and shoes are all in themes - that sounds far too PR-ey!! I am not a sumb blonde honestly!) I can cook and bake and am a pretty good agony aunt type person! I like DIY and gardening, I would also like to be in charge of board game playing (I love group games!)

As for quality street my favourite are the crunchie orange ones and I will fight you all for them (I once sat on my mum until she gave me the last one!!!)

Sorry can't remember all personal posts but my boobs and bump are very tense today - feeling very hard! (beautiful)

Boffin as part of our PR campaign a website is not a bad idea, name and shame!!!

frostyfrekkles · 19/01/2009 20:21

why did he spray it with surface cleaner? sounds likek he's the one being irresponsible there? Does he often go around spraying food recepticles with cleaning produce?

Have you read the back of the bottle to see what they advice? A quick google suggests that it might make you sick or give you the runs. Do you feel OK? maybe phone nhs direct if you're worried.

mathsmummy27 · 19/01/2009 20:22

He was trying to be helpful by 'cleaning' and just got a bit trigger-happy i think.....

ok will phone NHS Direct

frostyfrekkles · 19/01/2009 20:23

hey miss b, great minds think alike! hope you're ok today. how about my freaky blue nips? exciting eh?

BoffinMum · 19/01/2009 20:25

Don't panic! Just rinse your mouth out and maybe drink some water or milk. It's mainly soap I reckon. What does the label say?

brettgirl2 · 19/01/2009 20:25

I'm not sure we'd get on BB - I also like the crunchy orange ones and I'm really untidy!

What did they say MM?

BoffinMum · 19/01/2009 20:26

I think you are turning alien, frekkles.

AuldAlliance · 19/01/2009 20:29

Frosty I don't know if you saw my message a few days ago: if you e-mail me at [email protected] and let me have an address, then I'll send you the nappies.
If you're not sure how long your current postal address will be valid, I'll hang on to them. They need a wash anyhow, have been hanging around the house for 3+ years.
Let me know when you e-mail me, as I don't use that address much, only for random MN stuff.

Blue nips = v freaky, but prob not that unusual in Edinburgh, really. It's just that most people don't look at theirs as often as we PG women do!
