April 2007 - antenatal advice needed as well as postnatal now!!!!!!!!!

[oooggs]

crap I know but couldn't think of anything witty

it needs to be a 7 seater dippy as we were looking at changing so we can take dh's mum out when she visits

I really like the sliding door option (sorry octo) so the C8 & 807, but also looking at the Galaxy & Sharran

We don't want a 7 seater that is occasional with those seats in the boot like the Zafria etc

I have a Picasso to used to driving high (in position, not drugs )

Rolo our cat was done a few weeks ago Dooby - they do make you feel guilty, don't they!

Oooggs the "room in the car thing" is why we won't be having any more........

POTC - Molly has some little shoes very similar to those ones - they are mostly white with a little blue and pink on them. She loves them! I also don't really rate clarks shoes very much.

I am feeling better about dh's gran now.... it seems I was not the only one she didn't want to see

I spoke to dh's auntie, and she said it was to do with her being embarrassed about being incontinenet poor lady I wish i could have told her I didn't care.... as if thats more imortant than meeting a great grandchild!

I am really hoping that the funeral won't be until the week after next as I won't be able to go if it is any day next week except Tuesday and I would really like to say Goodbye to her...............

I am really not looking forward to it though Grandad's funeral was horrible as I had bought flowers just from our family, and the other had all bought some together (tightwads) so they were moaning about that, and I was the only one that didn't take my children.......needless to say I am always wrong but bugger them......I am getting to the point where i really don't care anymore - after 13 10 years of it I have had enough!

Anyway, enough of my moaning!

I test drove a 7-seater when we were looking and I was absolutely terrfied - it felt like driving a bus! I had only been driving about 5 months at the time though I like the sliding door options too (sorry Octo) and agree about the annoying seats in the back - would want permenant seats and good boot space if looking at a 7-seater ..... We've got a Fiat Multipla and I LOVE it - no good for taking MIL out as well though.

13 years together 10 married and 8 of them moaning is what it is meant to say

We have a 7 seater 4x4

I would really like a toyota avensis verso, but if you are going for a new one, they stopped making them last year!

Failing that i would look at an Espace

At the Suffolk show I looked at some 9 seaters!

Oh Caz Families are so bloody complicated, aren't they!!? You are damned if you do, damned if you don't. I think your "sod 'em" attitude is probably the best way to go. I would no way take my children to a funeral - I am sure others will disagree, but I think younger children don't "belong" at funerals, it is inappropriate ifswim!!? Older children yes, but not anyone under about 9/10 (depending on child) on your behalf and about your G-G'ma, poor lady - getting old is so undiginfied. xx

Might as well buy a mini bus eh Caz!! My BF has a fab VW people carrier van thing. It is dark purple and fab

No dippy no more babies, and we won't need one!

Don't think there'll be any more babies here either. Not sure how I feel about that tbh.

that makes 2 of us......

new one caz you got to be joking - that won't be happening, I just want would like one newer than the one I have (W)

super saving here for a loft conversion

Glad I am not alone. Weird feeling isn't it!!?

It is weird Dippy a fight between the heart and the head is the best way i can descibe it!

Ours is an X Oooggs...... we couldn't afford new either.....

an X would be fine caz cos that would be newer

Bingo - that is exactly it Caz!!

My heart tells me I would really like another baby; but my head says NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

do you think you will get a good price for your old one Oooggs?

my heart says "I would like another one"

my dh says "NO NO NO!"

no chance caz £1700 - £2000 max either private or on trade in

Bugger. I just ripped off half the queens head.

Trade in every time!

LOL @ your DH Caz

My DH says "yes yes yes", it is me that is saying "no no no"

Dooby, less of the old please, you're younger than me (ok, I think it's a few days but still...)

I'm quite envious of all the 20-somethings or even those of you at the other end of your 30s - I know it's never an easy decision but you've a good chance of being able to have another one in a few years time. dp keeps saying "We're just having two aren't we?" and I'm trying to duck the question. But probably we will just because I'd like to leave London in 2010 - baby, maternity leave, return to work for 6 months pt or ft (then I don't have to pay back my above SMP money which is quite a lot) and prepare the escape is the plan.

Sad about your dh's grandmother Caz. I keep worrying about dp's mum - she's 77 and in residential care and she hasn't seen her grandson since Christmas. We're now hoping to make it next month.

What exactly are you up to dippy???

Elkie - My Mum says stop and have another couple in 10 years time!

Dh would be 42, i will be 36 and ds1 will be 21! Don't think he would appreciate a baby brother or sister then somehow! and sometimes I feel about 50 now - God knows how I would feel then!

We have always traded in as we didn't want the hassle of selling privately, but you can (supposedly) get a better deal that way sometimes!

Caz, hope you are able to make the funeral. Agree with you about not taking the children. I remember my gran's funeral. I think I was around 8/9 and my sister and I went to a friends house to play while all the adults went to the funeral. It is a difficult thing I think, but not a place for young children imo.
Poor lady not wanting visitors because of incontinence. Growing old can be a very undignified thing. I found that out sharing a ward with a lot of elderly ladies last week. Really opened my eyes to the other side of things iykwim. I am normally on the nurse side giving the care, amazing what you see when you are on the receiving end!

No more babies here. I have my boy and girl and I am done!
