I'm imaging this one as more of an Eeyore stick hut type thing. Maybe Eeyore is actually still in residence.

She realised she'd done wrong, I'd say, Aitch.

Mine had the nerve to apologise straight after after a fashion ("that was probably insensitive of me" erm, yes ) so she obviously was not a complete rhinoceros and ought to have known better. Luckily for her, I feel rather good on general anaesthetic, and was too mellow to be really pissed off about it (at the time).

Romantic indeed.

Am horrified by some of these women. Supposed to be professionals - how can they possibly imagine that it's acceptable to speak to patients like that?

Aitch- am fascinated to see from your website that our wacky approach to weaning our kids is gaining in popularity. My children are now 13, 11 and 9, and the only one not weaned sensibly (ie when she was ready) was my middle one, as I had HV going on at me about weight gain from 5 months onwards. Luckily she had the sense to mostly spit everything out again. We just figured it was better to wait until they took things from our plates at dinnertime- that signalled their readiness, to us at least. Our last child was fully breastfed until 8.5 months, middle one 5.5 months (but didn't really start eating until 7.5 months), older one 5 months.

Yeah. Wanna make something of it?

Really teed off the rest of our NCT antenatal class, my father, and pretty much everyone we met apart from our other HV, who was married to a Ghanian and encouraged me to be as wacky as possible. Unfortunately she was away visiting the in-laws while middle child was 5-7 months old...

my mum says 'oh for goodness sakes everyone with more than two kids just lets the babies get on with it eventually...' as the eldest of four i never saw my mum spoon feed the youngest, she just had to pile in by herself.

Oldest of five here. My brother brought himself up, poor lad...

exactly, so in that respect the idea of spoon feeding was really very alien to me. anyway, enough, i am sullying the pristine hut of doom with my weaning chat.

Hi hut of doom, really hoping to join but am possibly resigning myself to some sideline grumpiness instead.

cityangel · 06/03/2007 23:20

hut of doom I'm here and properly fed up

cityangel · 06/03/2007 23:22

Hi cityangel, you're in the right place then. Unfortunately I'm so fed up that I'm going to bed right now. I'm not sure who's still about at this hour. We party hard, y'see. Here, have this leftover cocktail and a plate of only slightly soggy paté on little toasts.

Yeah well I'm fucked off that I am overworked and underpaid and that my fucking job is probably getting in the way of me fucking conceiving. That's about fucking it. No I haven't got Tourettes - I'm just fucked off. Evening all.

lissielou · 07/03/2007 08:24

it should be, hes lovely and has said that if i do decide to sue the HA then he'll back me as much as he can

lissielou · 07/03/2007 11:52

well just spoken to infertility nurse coz the gynae ward made another appointment for me but not with specialist and she was lovely!! said that the gynae ward dont look far enough back or would have referred me straight away, they wont do any big tests on the 21st and if my period hasnt come by then, they'll kick start it for me!

then spoke to gynae ward coz havent recieved letter re 2nd op (ffor major internal bleeding, bladder finding etc) and she tried to fob me off! saying its not policy to send copies of letters to patients (got copy of the 1st letter re ep) and i dont really need it! bitch! but i argued her down. am furios now!

beansprout · 07/03/2007 12:18

beansprout · 07/03/2007 12:18
