By the way DD is like a parrot at the moment and will repeat everything DH says... soooo funny to listen to. Toddlers are great

Hello

Sorry about the headfits on Friday. And thank you for the support. I am concentrating now on thinking how far we have all come - a few more weeks can look more manageable when you think this all started last summer.

Lulu, the funeral is next Thursday. The widow (sad, sad word) and I have had a chat and I think I am going to sing The Lark In The Clear Air. The only sheet version music I can find is very 19C salon cheezy so I am doing my own arrangement, which is nice as it feels like making something which is a feeling I miss so much - I now realise. It is a form of building without having to get off my hurty arse!

Our landlord thinks he is going to put the rent up £50 pcm from April. He is totally having a turkish, as what we are paying now is already well over the odds in this market. I don't think he has any other places to let and I suspect he is not entirely in tune with the current harsh economic realities. Anyway all things being equal I would think, he can whistle for it - I can spend that money on a much nicer place. However this leaves me exposed to the possibility of having to move with a week old baby.

Also he doesn't know about the baby.

What crazy weather!

ginger, you made me smile with 'having a turkish'! nasty old landlord, Boff will be on in a min with some legal/buttkicking wisdom.

more mucus today

BoffinMum · 08/03/2009 17:05

Ah, rent. If it says in the tenancy agreement it goes up, then it goes up, I am afraid.

FWIW I have managed to put the rent up on our rented house £125 a month recently, but admittedly rents are still rising here and it is a great house (if I say so myself ....).

But you could try making it clear that if he freezes the rent, you will stay at least another six months, but if he puts it up, you will give notice, and then he might decide against the rise.

BabyBolat · 08/03/2009 17:08

Yes I am around!! Question - is it falling out or are you encouraging it to come? Does that mean it will all start soon for you?

ginger - your landlord is having a laugh - it is a renters market now and he will struggle to find someone else quickly!!

BB - same thing. Mathsmummy, go on, give birth

Schulte · 08/03/2009 17:25

Oh, someone asked recently about homeopathic stuff to help with panic during birth. My NCT teacher recommended Bach's Rescue Remedy. 4 drops in glass of water if feeling panicky. No idea if it works! My doula made me sniff some lavender oil (not that I was panicky ) and that was nice too.

BabyBolat · 08/03/2009 17:29

Schulte's - stop encouraging her!! !!

Schulte - How were you during transition if you don't mind me asking? That's when I got a bit panicky. It passed fairly quickly but it wasn't a very nice feeling.

Puzzle, it took me several hours to get from 9cm to 10cm because my contractions slowed down so it's a bit of a blur but I remember shivering for a few minutes at some point and just not being able to stop it. It felt weird but didn't scare me.

BoffinMum · 08/03/2009 18:02

I know, BB, I was surprised too, but we shifted agents at the time and went a bit more upmarket, and I think that really helped. It is a noticeably better property than all the competition, and absolutely perfect location as well.

Just caught up all the way from THURSDAY afternoon! Yippee!!

To all who were interested, the reflexology was great - Mini-munchkin was breech when I went in and the right way round when she was done! Not sure if they're related, but there you go... of course, the little princess has since spun around again BUT I have sessions booked every 2 weeks for the next few weeks, so we'll see how we do. Hooray!

Yay for mucus plugs and babies and glute massages and other fab things!

We had a lovely lunch with our NCT group today - I laughed so hard I thought my belly button was gonna pop! It was lovely to spend some face-to-face time with preggie ladies... I can't WAIT till we can enjoy a glass of vino together!! XXX
