your not a pig, i thin kive eaten double that today and its not been as healthy as yours!! Toys r us also stock the tots bots nappies too, they seem good and not as fiddly as the bambino mio ones. we got them all out in there to have a feel and see how they work! we chose the bambino mio because they have won loads of awards and they are the quickest to dry and take up least ampunt of space! Gail, do you have to go on to building sites with your job? do you design houses or offices? x

 

[ClaireyF]

do you do any wacky designs like on grand designs? x

 

[Rosella]

good tip on the nappies!! think maybe a trip to toys r us is in order...
yes, i do go on site etc - have been banned now though cos the one site i was visiting is a bit dangerous - it's a proper site with lots of scoffolding, mud etc. At one point they had a working platform quite high up and i was on my hands and knees trying to fit through small openings-really glad i don't have to do that now cos i think i'd have trouble bending over that much!! can barely tie my shoe laces these days.
We mainly work on high-end residential projects - it's really nice work. And an interesting insight into a different world!!!!! Nothing too wacky so far...

I'm so tired of of snow! We didn't get as much this round, thank god!

 

[ClaireyF]

oh dear amber, how deep is the snow? are all the roads blocked up?

Gail, glad you've been banned from the building sites, they are so dangerous!! my DH is an electrician and used to do all new build house up until last year when he was made redundant when the housing market dropped off, now he does re-wires and extensions and i prefer it so much more! (although he did look hot in his hard hat and high-vis jacket and tool belt ) is business still busy for you? x

i know...my imagination runs away with me no he's not self employed, he works for a bloke close by so its just him, his boss and bosses son( who is an apprentice). he wants to go self employed but now isnt the time to try that, maybe in a few years. WHat is your OH training to do? x

 

[Rosella]

oohh, Hayley the food sounds delish!! Just as well you're in Cyprus cos I would raid your fridge!!!

 

[Hunnyx10]

sounds lovely hayley have a great time see you on thursday

 

[Rosella]

steady on Claire!! Hope the work keeps coming for your OH. I reckon self-employed is the way to go. I know the risks are greater but if you are good i am sure you can make more cashola than if employed...

Well, we are not entirely sure...he's studying history and absolutely loves it, but I'm not too sure what he's going to do with it...possibly teaching?? (I'd be really glad if he did cos at least the holidays would coincide with the kids). Don't want to put any pressure on him - he needs to find his way with it really. He worked in advertising for years - and to hear him talk about it i have come to the conclusion he has never done a job he actually enjoyed!! xx

 

[ClaireyF]

ooo Hayley, i'm on the first plane over there to eat all your food!! hope your DH has a good birthday and make sure he tries his camera out by taking a bump shot!

Gail, it would be good if you OH could become a teacher! like you say its perfect for looking after your baby! how long have you and OH been together (ooo I'm nosey today aren't i?) x

 

[Rosella]

Since last Feb... not that long really! - it's all been a bit of a whirlwind
We knew each other for a while before that...he says it took him 8 months to get a date with me!!!
How about you? xx

 

[tink]

Hello Girls x
AWWW Honey you're not old,i like to call it 'experianced' I'm 38 (39 in dec)but certainly dont feel it The way i look at it i will be 56 when my baby leaves home (or at least doesn't rely on me financially)and myself and oh
will still have a good few years ahead of us to do what we want to do
(Am I dreaming or what????)
I was just debating on wether to put the cot together,or is it too soon?Dont want it gathering dust!
Has anybody heard about their health in preg grant yet?i've got the mw on fri morn and shall be asking(pestering) her about my application form!
I can also apply for mat grant next week too.

 

[Rosella]

Hi Tink
'Experienced' is a very excellent description!!!

 

[ClaireyF]

Hi tink, i have had my cot together now for about 3weeks, the mattress is still in the polythene though. i got the form from my mw about a month ago, cant wait til it get paid now! great news about getting the maternity grant...is that £500?

Gail, that is a whirlwind! me and DH met online about Sept 05, physically met in May 06, he moved in Aug 06, proposed Valentines 07 and we married March 08. i think you know when you meet the right person anyway! i had a bf at the time i met DH, he lived local-ish and DH lived in Exeter, Devon about 200miles away. i soon dumped my ex and saw Paul every weekend and we even used to meet up half way between us during the week for a meal and drink at a pub, looking back, i dont know how i'd have the energy to drive 100miles there to see him for a few hours then drive 100miles back and still get up for work the next day! xx

 

[mrsholmes]

i just caught up wrote all my replies and my comp froze!!

so hello everyone!

finished work early as im really struggling, didnt sleep well and my patience has worn thin cos the computers have been down all day so ive got no work done!

ill be using the pill after this preganancy or possibility having the implant. My friend was trying for a baby for 2.5 years and the fertility person told her to try the pill for 3 months as your 5 times more fertile coming off it, shes the one thats just had the baby!

me and oh have been together 9 years, married for one and engaged for 5 years.

I cant see me lasting till 18th May for my maternity!
