Sorry, that baby eqt list is one of my handouts but it lost all the formatting - hope it is still readable

I have an egroup for my antenatal class attendees that has all my handouts on if anyone is interested in joining?

oh starry, whats an egroup and what do we have to do?
still think you should start a mumsnet class

DQ Have you ever heard of yahoo groups? Its a bit like mumsnet - you can become a member of various groups (there are 1000's) its www.yahoogroups.com. you can start your own group and then invite people to join - and it also has a 'shared files' section where people can upload items. I have the group mainly for info and have uploaded all my handouts to the shared files for ppl to download and keep.

And its an email group - so you can email the group and that email goes to all the members etc. NCT use them for virtually everything!

4-5 bibs starry...lol dont u mean a day with a little baby...or was it just ds who constantly spit up or threw up

interesting stuff starry. what are your handouts on? you can send them to meor i can join whatever i have to, to get them.

Personally I did with 0 bibs - just got used to being covered in baby sick. Lol. I could list my handouts and let me know if you would like any?

either that or the online thing SN would be great

it wasnt me being covered in baby sick it was ds cos it would have made him soaking

Morning all,

Had a doctors app yesterday, Started my iron tablets..She said all is fine. She couldnt pick up bubas heart beat only mine, but i found it when i went home on my doppler.

I have to buy everything new all i have is an old bottle that my nephew lrft behind. Looking forward to it but its going to cost a small fortune!! DP better be ready!!

Has Goldenoldie posted since her scan yesterday? Hope everything is alright...?

no, you're right ... any news g'o?

Nemo, definitely not just your ds who threw up constantly - dd's nickname was puciehontas she threw up so much.
Any wonder she was always at the bottom of those red book graphs
My other addition to that list would be lots and lots of muslins, brilliant for soaking up milky vomit
Found out I've got into my nhs childbirth classes, 1 this month and the other 2 in Nov. Not bothering with the parentcraft classes this time but as dd was caesarian thought I should I remind myself of everything I didn't use last time!

Hope Go Oldie is OK.

My boss has just agreed I can work my contracted hours from now on. I'm supposed to work 9-5 but usually end up starting at 8am 3 times a week. yeah I'm so happy - I've been trying to get him to agree to that for ages!!! No more 8am starts - well in 2 weeks time. I've got to cover some holiday leave first.

I'm ready with my TP!!! I'll measure later on so it's the same time as last week.

Just looked up train times for my visit to Guys in London tomorrow. I know MN doesn't allow swear words - but I'm absolutly s**ting myself!! This time tomorrow I'll either be blissfully happy or it could all be over!!!!!!

oh thanks, the penny just dropped there as to what tp tuesday means! haha I was thinking ?tepee?
Can you do something nice in London after to make a day of it sh? is dh with you?

S/H
wishing you all the best tomor, great you have your hours back.. I have a startof 8.00 and finish at 4.30.aghhhhh o well its a doddle really when alli have to do is keep up with you lot..

Yes dh is coming with me.

If we get good news we'll go out for lunch somewhere. Can't imagine we'll feel like doing anything if we get bad news.

I'm just hoping they don't want to keep me in for anything. It's my dd's 2nd schol disco on Friday and I really want to be able to take her. I missed her 1st school disco as I was in hospital having the baby we lost . I really don't want to miss this milestone again!!!

ninah - noticed you psoted on the "snogging women" thread but didn't actually commit to a yes or do!!!

Soooooo, do you????

She's 5 - it's her end of year school disco - she'll be moving up to year 1 in September.

lol, I'm the same as you. Don't get to snog anyone these days!!!!

fingers crossed everything will be fine sh. school disco, how old is your dd?

I'm shattered ds woke up in the night and dp got really grumpy and huffy I'm gonna call him Uncle Quentin after the strict uncle in famous 5, the one who was always in his 'study'

Have had such awful hayfever I've been getting about 4 hours of sleep. Woke in the wee hours of the morning very short of breath. This sucks. Think I'm going to pop a Claritin tonight.
