Thanks ladies
Jelly - Hammersmith have been awesome and DH's surgeon actually lives around the corner from us so sometimes we bump into him in the shop which is a bit bizarre. Although I'm very scared of the operation and ending up a widow, I like the Surgeon and trust that if he says there is no other way we have to trust him. Sorry about your Dad - such a difficult illness to live with. One of my friend's husband's has it and on top of that her daughter is an anorexic and in and out of hospital constantly. Whenever I feel sorry for myself I always try and remember things could be much worse.
GG - poor Amelia - fingers crossed she is on the mend and will be putting on plenty for her next weigh in.
Louise -
for the migraine. I get them sometimes so I know what a nightmare they can be. I had one on New Years Eve, didn't have any migralieve and wasn't sure if I could take it will BF anyway so ended up taking paracetemol and the diclofenac the doctor prescribed for my hip and tummy pain. Trouble is I find the only cure is sleep and that's not exactly an option with a demanding baby.
On the clothes front Scarlett has been wearing 3-6 month leggings and tops for about a month. The tops are plenty big enough but she has really long legs so I've actually been going through her 6-9 month stuff to see if there is anything that will fit now. I've found that H&M do 4-6 month stuff for an inbetween stage - she has a lovely purple Hello Kitty tracksuit from there. I don't know if you have tried them but H&M's Organic vests are brilliant. They are £2.99 each and come in lovely bright colours. I found Tesco to be tiny - she is nearly out of the 3-6 month outfit I bought although the vests aren't too bad. TU at Sainsbury's are quite roomy, as are Next. Scarlett has a 0-3 Cardigan from Next that still fits. I find Boots a good fit on Scarlett and on par with M&S. I've bought virtually every top and leggings set that M&S do as they are good value and cheaper than places like Matalan. £5 for two tops and £5 for two leggings and they wash brilliantly. Scarlett has also learnt to scream lately although she tends to do it more in excitement and talking to her toys then when she is upset. It's so shrill, it goes right though me. I was on the phone to my Mum yesterday and she was laying on her playmat doing it. My Mum started getting hysterical thinking there was something wrong and took a while to believe me she wasn't upset and there wasn't so much as a tear to be seen.
I've just got back from Boots - I must admit I'm really impressed with the advantage card coupons they send through the post as you can use more than one per transaction. I just saved myself £16, as some of the stuff I needed (Nappies and Total Effects Moisturiser) were already on offer. I had coupons for money off both things plus £5 off when you spend £20 and it took all three discounts off.

That sounds difficult for both your husband and you to deal with. x
Might be.
Just because we have to carry on they assume we must be ok, not because we have no choice! I walked to school today with baby strapped to front, toddler in buggy, in a hot sweat and trying not to cough on Rosie and he was in bed, if he had come down i would have only had to have taken Rosie but he couldn't even drag himself out of bed! He gives me no good argument for married life, lazy sod!
