Awww, love leif! She did some stuff with my ante-natal class. I wish I'd known about her sessions earlier in my pregnancy.

Stubbornstains, I'm also near Helston but on the PZ side. I really wanted to use the birth pool but DS was nearly 4 weeks early so we had to go to Treliske (boo).

You must be nearly there now; how's it going?

stubbornstains · 23/12/2009 18:11

Hello feralgirl, sorry about the delay in getting back to you.....

Only 4 more days and I will be at "term", so will be able to use the pool...if there are enough midwives! (the Helston team is 2 down at the moment; heavy politics going on apparently...)

Had a real scare last night; as you know, CCC doesn't believe in gritting roads, and just before I left my workshop in Constantine it rained-then froze solid! Started to slide uncontrollably on the long hill going down into Gweek, and finished up in a hedge- no damage to anything, luckily. But I refused to even get out of the van until the baby's father came to rescue me- on a mobility scooter!

V. funny in retrospect eh...? Not as bad as the busload of pensioners in PZ with 2 killed though; when the hell will the council learn??

How old is your DS? I'm having one of those too! (unless the sonographer was wrong...)

feralgirl · 08/01/2010 12:09

Stubbornstains, DS was 1 at the beginning of December. My due date was also 27/12 but DS had other ideas of course...

How was everything, I hope the birth went as you planned? And how are you coping with all this snow now?!

I remember this time last year and the amount of blooming time I spent squishing DS into snowsuits, god it was hard work!

cheesesarnie · 09/01/2010 22:44

ccc and grit is a joke surely?we dont do grit in these parts!

stubbornstains-glad you were ok!sounds scary!luckily ive not had to go far so havent had to use the car in the last week!poor dh has returned to work tonight though.driving coaches to london.

onadietcokebreak · 09/01/2010 22:50

My estate was gritted yesterday...I couldnt beleive it when I saw the cormac van!

cheesesarnie · 09/01/2010 23:17

did you whoop?

actually they did come and chuck a teaspoon full at the entrance to our estate a couple of days ago.no one can make it as far as the entrance but its the thought that counts.
ds1 school is still shut as little back roads which have no chance of being done.but hes happy!

where abouts are you cokebreak?

onadietcokebreak · 09/01/2010 23:22

I opened the doot in amazement but quickly shut it as was so cold.

Am just outside of St Austell.

Our estate is has a perilious hill at the entrance. Got out today to get supplies before the snow comes again.

Hoping to be clear again by Tues for my delivery of tumble dryer but doubt a van can get up hill

onadietcokebreak · 09/01/2010 23:23

Where abouts are you cheesesarnie?

cheesesarnie · 09/01/2010 23:24

camelford.

cheesesarnie · 09/01/2010 23:26

goodluck with tumble dryer.

i went to st austall for first time in ages recently-have not long passed my test.and was amazed at how good it was,ive heard loads of bad things!but i thought it was good!dd and i spent a fortune just because theyre were shops

onadietcokebreak · 09/01/2010 23:29

Shops are on the up since the new development opened. Am a bit disappointed with standard of shops as was hoping for a john lewis, debenhams, primark, Hmv etc.

But gotta support the town.......

cheesesarnie · 09/01/2010 23:34

true but i wasnt expecting topshop.and although not a fan of ummmm cant remember,not qs but like it?was happily suprised at some of the clothing!

be nice if they filled the empty shops.

'john lewis, debenhams, primark, Hmv etc' would be fab.tell them

onadietcokebreak · 09/01/2010 23:39

They have been told what the locals wont but dont have the power to pull them in.

Bon Marche, peacocks, halifax wilkinsons and newlook,

Newlook and halifax have relocated

Peacock were there before development but left cos shop needed for building work

So the only new ones are wilkinsons and bon marche.

Game is meant to be coming. Plus thorntons and rowes the bakery

cheesesarnie · 09/01/2010 23:44

oops i ment new look not topshop.
peacocks was the other one i couldnt think of of-was mostly quite nice things.i thought it used to be quite boring.

thorntons would be nice.

shows how long ago i went before that!i think also the fact it was me and dd,not me and dh ment i could look properly!

JazzieJeff · 27/08/2010 16:32

Oooh! Just found this on the talk boards! I am near Helston... 33+4 at the minute and would love to find people near me. Looks like there's more of us than I thought!

mumma2b · 27/10/2010 13:15
