Mr Bloom reminds me of a young Mark Owen! As for Chris Jarvis, I had suspected as much but didn't know for sure!! Agree Katie looks older than 23! I too watch far too much cbeebies these days..... Currently watching Mr Bloom for the sec nd time again today!!! Also end up with the theme tune engrained in my mind!!

I think I have a spare your welcome to, it's the small White piece of plastic I'm assuming?

Thanks everyone, glad it's not just me that thinks waiting for the 6 week checks excessive!

I've loaned and been loaned things from other forumites. No problems at all and agree it is community spirited. I've also given lots of items away but recently offered something for a bottle of wine. A number of People contacted me, I fairly gave the items to the first who collected said items that evening saying she would drop some wine off.....that was around 5 weeks ago now and needless to say no wine materialised as yet! Certainly does put you off!

Thanks Ruth :-) 4 weeks sounds a reasonable time, as able as I feel at the moment I think 2 weeks is very soon.... I've no need to drive living round here but going anywhere further afield rather difficult with 2 so small and the rather heavy P&T's!

I have asked my Dr, who sat on the fence and said it's up to my insurance company. Upon calling them they say when I am medically able...... Bit of a catch 22!! Section was 2 weeks ago, all healing nicely, no pain, no pain killers and could physically easily drive and do an emergency stop if necessary. Last time I waited until the 6 week check and the Dr still sat on the fence and wouldn't say either way, although did confirm scar had healed nicely! Don't want to wait unnecessarily but also don't want to end up in a situation where the insurance company can claim I wasn't medically fit........ Anyone else had this issue? Is there an answer?

My daughter was fine having the BCG and had no reaction afterwards either.

Hiya, my baby boy is nearly 8lb now but is long and thin. The pampers new baby size 1's leak really badly, as do the buggies! Both look huge on him. I bought some Boots own brand newborn nappies at the weekend which are 4lb plus and they (so far) seem to fit far better and are a lot smaller..... No leaks so far!! May be worth trying although do agree different nappies suit different babies given their different sizes and shapes.

What happens withbabies under 6 months?

Will look at mine when I get home- seem to remember the tube is the same both ends but definitely don't have to ram it in! Mine is around a year old

What age can babies start from?

:)-D You were not whom I was referring ;-) The random one's have appeared mid thread and been incomprehensible and meaningless, hence wondering what the point of them actually is. Will just ignore in future :-)

I called the bus station in Camberwell and was put through to somebody that dealt with complaints. I was given a reference number and it all seemed legitimate at the time.

I did complain at the time..... Was told they would investigate but don't update complainant as to outcome. Didnt give me any confidence anything would be done. I genuinely haven't used that bus since!

Definitely very odd!

It's not less bad..... It's just a totally different area albeit close by! OP simply corrected the original post and apologised for posting incorrect information.

Is it my imagination or has there been a sudden increase in (new users writing) odd posts - not really making sense etc. I understand some people like to stir up arguments etc so are purposely controversial but I wouldn't say the one's I've noticed recently fall into this category.... they just don't make any real sense and seem rather pointless. Each to their own I guess if it is someone's idea of "fun".

The info Kings give you all states Brixton..... I didn't know there was a place in Camberwell though, is it the place on the A202? If they have shorter waiting lists and do allow Lambeth births to be registered that would be great, I will give them a call. The number 12 should be an easier option than the 37! Thanks Ruth :-)

The above post is insensitive, uncalled for and totally irrelevant to the thread! I read it early hours of this morning on my iphone whilst feeding my son. I was initially shocked and then it just made my blood boil that the poster would write such a post following HH post's which clearly was written with a great deal of thought and apprehension about an extremely sensitive subject. I still feel strongly about this this morning and have logged onto my laptop to post especially! No mean feat with a newborn and 15mth old ;-) On a more positive note, I totally agree with LittleEDfamily comment "Having caught up on this thread, all I can think about is how much I don't want my girls to be writing these sorts of things about me in 30 years' time! I may even print it off for future reference! " It makes me really sad to think of the possibility of my daughter ever feeling this way in the future.

If it is the same chap he is really very unpleasant! A real nasty piece of work and totally unprovoked. I've just had a second baby and need to go to Brixton to register the birth with a Phil and Teds....... Fingers crossed I don't get him on the 37!! Can't even opt to drive as had a C Section!

They were spot on with both of mine!

Thank you :-)

My son was born last Tuesday and I've made an appointment to register his birth but don't appear to have any documentation in my discharge pack. Does anyone know what I need and where I get it from? I'm sure when my daughter was born there was something in the discharge pack from hospital, just can't remember what!! Thx Clare

Second that! Let the Dr's and midwifes know you would like to go home ASAP if it's possible, that way they are able to sort out the paperwork side of things in anticipation- it's the paperwork that holds everything up!!
