do you mean that dr hauschka rose oil swali? I bought some of that and then chickened out of using it as when i looked up rose oil it said it can cause miscarriage. I'm saving it for post birth moisturising

Hello! BoffinMum that was me - we had a dustmite blitz and also a mould blitz and things seem better - bought a Miele vacuum cleaner and that improved things no end. Think it was dust for DP, as whenever he goes up into the loft it sets him off again, and the loft is completely dry so no mould up there.

Have got a fabulous cleaner now who attacks a different patch of mould every week, so we are slowly hauling this house into a less hideous condition. Can't do much about behind the kitchen units, sadly

Midwife was fine, all normal and also documented some birth plan stuff in my notes including the name of the midwife I don't want involved in my care due to personality clashes last time - feel a bit about this but she said it's fine, noone will be offended and it's better than being stressed in labour.

Baby isn't engaged but she said second ones often don't engage until you're actually in labour.

Anyone who has ideas about making a Man in the Moon costume haul their ass over to this thread sharpish, I need help!

Frekkles - yep, that's the one. I justified spending the money on it because if it smelt nice then I would definitely use it Typical.

As far as I am concerned, perineum massage hurts... maybe I am doing it wrong though.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 11/03/2009 15:08

Schulte · 11/03/2009 15:09

Yay I have just managed to print out my birth plan on my ancient printer... it took some persuasion though and a pair of tweezers to get some stuck, torn paper out first. Think I may look into buying a new one soonish...

Schulte · 11/03/2009 15:10

Now then, where do I find a nice toy digger? The chunky type that you can take into the sandpit? Thought it would be a good present from LO to DD. Any ideas?

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 11/03/2009 15:12

like a jcb type digger? or spade type?

Schulte · 11/03/2009 15:15

The FBI had an opening for an assassin.

After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists;

Two men and a woman.

For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.

'We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair ... . . Kill her!!'

The man said, 'You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife.'

The agent said, 'Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home.'

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes.

The man came out with tears in his eyes, 'I tried, but I can't kill my wife.' The agent said, 'You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.'

Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the Gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, Banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow.

'This gun is loaded with blanks' she said. 'I had to beat him to death with the chair.'

MORAL:

Women are crazy. Don't mess with them

Swaliswan · 11/03/2009 15:37

Oh, wow! I have just seen this. How much would DD love that for her birthday? I can't wait to show DH when he gets home!

BoffinMum · 11/03/2009 15:43

PMSL Nutty

That is your best joke EVER on these threads!!

Now people I am onto my second free espresso/capuccino machine via Freecycle - first one smelled of hot plastic in use. No clue how to use this one - could be fun. If you hear a bang you know what's happened.

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 11/03/2009 16:00

gingersarah · 11/03/2009 16:08

Hi bronze, are you ok? What's going on?

OMG I am tragically addicted to the Julie Myerson car crash. STOP ME.

When "living with teenagers" was first out, my sister and I had this conversation.

"do you read that appalling thing in the Guardian on Saturdays - "
"Oh that awful doormat woman and her sweary teengaged children?!"
"Yes she is such a wet, she needs to grow up"
"her son so obviously has a drug problem"
"totally"
