Oh god, the ol' north/south divide thing again, I never know what I am anymore! We've been up here for years, my DH is born and bred, DS1 was born down south but has the northern lingo down to a t, the youngest two were born up here, I still have my southern accent, where does that leave me?!
Ast, not to make you worry, but if you can, go and get your BP checked again (don't go to chemist, go to docs) if it was up on your norm, you need careful monitoring of it (bringing back bad memories of pregnancy for me - thank you, I was starting to question that it all actually happened.... ) don't let them fob you off. If I was you, I'd ring the CMW, tell them it was up yesterday, and your still swollen and worried, they are very likely to want to keep it checked, GP's are crap at these things. Hope the hormones swing the other way and you're bouncing off the walls in an hour.
AFAIK, Blooming Marvellous, did go into administration, but they are trying to keep it going, the shops are staying open (they are trying to sell them as a going concern), and the website is going for now, though for how long, who knows?
Can't even remember who asked now but I got a big brother t-shirt from MC a couple of years ago, am sure I've seen them in there since.
Good luck this afternoon LB
Well so much for getting back yesterday, the day just went looked at the time and it was 6.10, next I looked and it was gone 8, the boys weren't in bed, we were still messing about on the wii!
It is snowing again, it's been going since we got up at 5, it's hitting the other snow that was there and just freezing over, it is like a bloody ice rink out there, I let DS1 go to school on his own after we'd crossed him over the road, the bee was incapable of keeping in a straight line the wheels weren't even turning most of the time, DS2 was slipping all over the place, damn it, I was slipping all over the place, one or all of us were going to end up on the floor. So the poor little thing went off slipping and sliding He may be nearly 7yo but he's still my baby y'know Really don't know what to do at home time, have no idea how I am supposed to get us all up the hill. I know how we're all going to get down it though - ambulances at this rate!
