Due April 2009: Episode 21 - RLT officials have stern words with the April mums after stocks plummet!!

[PuzzleRocks]

Thanks to Nutty for all the thread suggestions including this one. I hope no one minds but I picked this one in honour of the brilliant race commentary we had from Nuts and Frekkles the other night. Hopefully we will get some more.

Juw - lol at you singing contraction song on your ball

Springy - well i have to say dh was very good with my clothing suprise the other day ... so probably a gift box from lush will do or flowers, a teddy bear or maybe something from the hello kitty MAC range. if i was fully fit however i would be cashing in on my spa day promise

Cor, Smutts, you don't want much do you?

Electra - Good for you. Stick to your guns, they can't deny you a homebirth. When I changed midwife (for being a rude and incompetent cow) I spoke to the Head of Midwifery directly. I phoned PALS who asked her to contact me and she assigned me a new lovely and highly professional midwife immediatly. It might be worth also doing that while you wait to hear from the Chief Exec.

I was in a ProCook shop which was closing down a couple of months ago & got so overexcited I thought I'd go into very early labour. I've heard of this mythical Lakeland, but refuse to look at the catalogue because I'll just be broken hearted

& Ju, my toaster will kick your toaster's ass.

Best of luck mumble - tis a very tricky business. DDs name isn't very 'usual' either which kind of sets a precedent and rules out a lot of other names which would sound odd next to hers.

Although some distant relatives of mine called their 1st something completely way out there and their second a top 10 name. Always makes me .

Springy - would love to borrow your contractions for a bit feel free to send them my way

What about a bunch of flowers like this - perfect for new Mums!

Juw - i like to give dh options

Nutty, you can get away with that because you're an incubator and have a DD running around. I still think I deserve something for being an incubator, although I think a spa day would be pushing it

Springy - it is full of every kitchen gadget you could never need. Things so random you would never have thought of them (e.g. green rubber breastpad-type egg poachers...) guaranteed to clutter up your kitchen and gather dust.

Back in the days when I rented and used to move house every few months I found that every single flat I lived in had an egg slicer. I have never ever used one.

Juw - they are very sweet

Go on Springy, go to Lakeland, you know you want to. All you have to do is press this little link.

I remember discovering Lakeland at the Good Food Show at the NEC many years ago. Everything was very Delia's Summer Collection, lots of terracotta dishes.

My toaster is far too classy to engage in fisticuffs with yours. She will just rise above it, and sit there being chic.

(Oh dear, it appears my toaster is a she...)

That's pretty cute, Ju - but I reckon we should be allowed stuff for us!

Springy - why dont you ask for some cool cookwear??

Noooo, I shall resist! I shaaall!

Those babywear bouquets are pretty good actually. We received 2 or 3 when DD was born. The clothes were usually in size 1-3 months so you get to enjoy the 'blooms' for a bit before you start plucking them to put on your baby.

I think I'd just get raised eyebrows if I asked for anything. I don't think I'm considered to be a mother yet. Of course if it was father's day that was imminent, that would count

my toaster is a grotty old slutbag, who will 'ave yours no trouble. so there

Springy - instead of a spa maybe get like a pamper basket full of lovely spa type stuff then your dh could pamper you at home?? you could then progress to nice oiled up incubatorsMothers day nookie

Springy I think you should get a little extra pampering for mother's day. Even if it's just an extra long soak in the bath followed by a massage from DH.

• great minds Nutty.

BB - of your milkshakes and chocolate array.

Kaz - Sounds like you have a pair of smart little ones there.

Nutty - I can't wait until DD can make me a card. She pulled my top up this morning and said I love you Mummy. Fatty fatty belly.

Ju - You snitch!

My toaster is just beautiful. I love her. She is a gorgeous 4 slicer, but with totally independent controls for each half. She's phwoar-worthy.

& Nutty, I wouldn't trust him to choose anything sensible with that. A nice bunch of flowers or something would do. Just some sort of indication of appreciation

Springy - put a huge red circle round mothers day!!!

lol at toaster wars loving the fact that your toaster is a grotty old slutbag Mathsmummy lol

Oh Puzzle your DD has made me all weepy.
