Not read all the recent pages as only came up to check remedies online for shingles pain, using DH's PC as mine is kaput and, having been unwell for WEEKS now, I've not managed to get to the shop for a repair, and I might jsut cut my head off before 7.15 as the shingles is so bad tonight. And this room is too cold for me. It's bleddy Baltic here.
Anyway, a few comments - I liked the bitchiness from Peggy as I'd been thinking just lst week the lack of cattiness in Ambridge is not normal. Apart form some gossiping there is too much niceness usually. Of course P is an old snob and a hypocrite and two-faced but it was good IME.
The MW was okay, I felt. She sounded young and maybe a bit nervous. Maybe that was Knob's presence!And she ahd an annoying voice. I also don't think she was convinced by Helen. I think Helen sounded a bit too bright when she was denying DA, hopefully the MW picked that up too. Someone above said it was a straightfrward pregnancy this time. Conception might have been, on paper anyway - but she had pre-eclampsia and a crash caesarean, so is not low-risk at all.
SLs on the As have included a fair few problems in babies - I think the RL stats suggest 10% (obvs includes very minor things as well as the more serious) of babies will have some 'imperfection' at birth. In TA it's what they do witht eh story that's the problem.
It's time one of the oldies got shingles and I could advise ......
