normabutty · 22/08/2007 20:53

Oh and Octo I met a cloth nappy user on Sunday and she's converted me to washable wipes too!!! She had a spray, which answered my confusion about how to use them if you don't have access to water!

I've bought some dinky drops (?) to make a spray with

Blimey ladies, you have been busy today.

Octo, really sad you have decided to leave the April flock, but wish you and yours lots of love and luck.

WO, I am sorry you are having such awful trouble with your boobies. It sounds horrific, and I totally admire you for carrying on as long as you have.

Mammyjo, glad that you have got some ab's to sort out the thrush. Again, great admiration.

Runny, I will happily give you HR advice. Do you want to email me when you need to. [email protected] That applies to anyone who needs advice re work btw.

Ellie, what a day! Hope the car is sorted.

CD, OMG. I would have been a shaking weeping wreck. Did anyone talk to you/check to see if you were ok?

Totally forgotten everything else, so apologies, and a big wave instead!

Had a good day at my parents, and said a bit of a tearful goodbye to sil and the brrod. B gets on so well with them - she is going to really miss them again. I think they plan to move back to Dorset next August, but I can't see us seeing thm before then tbh. I don't think I could face the journey and the time difference tbh. It was bad enough when we went to Canada with just B when she was 14 months.

I was KHIN's buddy, but knew MIAM from the TTC boards. I think the reason she is not on mn is the same as Octo. She felt she needed to spend more quality time with her family which is fair enough. I will email her though and just check things are all progressing ok.

Hope everyone is ok, and that those babes who had jabs are not suffering too much.
xx

octoandflash · 22/08/2007 20:56

octoandflash · 22/08/2007 20:57
