Mellors - thank you thank you but hoping for bumper nap and early arrival of mr sb (wishful thinking prob!!) so hopefully we will be ok. Have decided that I feel better than yesterday I think, so maybe that's good!!

Well called nhs direct who said should insist on doctor calling me but DMC phone receptionist was mean to point of rudeness and says no, nothing doing, chance your luck and call again 8am tomorrow. I don't think I have the energy to drag self and toddler to Peckham so guess we too will watch tv and hope for better tomorrow. Sure is not that bad just feeling sorry for self!! Typical that the one time in many years you want to see a doctor and its not possible.

Well doctors not an option apparently - only taking same day appts first come first served all this week and all gone by 8.20 this morning. Advice to go to a&e if that bad...yeah...right....I've got kind of a coldy flu..maybe bit of a chest infection...couple of antibiotics will do the trick...can see that going down well. And accommpanied by toddler. First come first served all very well but surely then cannot take into account seriousness/babies etc. Annoying DMC yet again. Anyone know if normal paracetamol dosage ok in pregnancy?

Yes. Dying good option. Am now considering might be pneumonia or grim flu chest infection after google session. Hypochondriac, me?!? Horrid though. And what to do with toddler all week? He is developing a serious tv addiction,and I have no strength to fight it. Waybuloo....

Me too me too - saw every half hour last night. must be worse with newborn....argh....

Another moany venty post. I'm ill. I don't do ill!! Achey/shivery/snot filled/hacking cough/aching chest (pelvic floor being tested to the limits!)...been like this on and off for a month then it's suddenly ramped up a gear this weekend. Oh and 7m pregnant, so no hard drugs. Sorry for self and how to cope with demon toddler tomorrow? And argh snow! Husband thinks I might have man flu - it really is that bad!! Anyone else suffering? Any magical cure? What I really hope is that husband and toddler don't get it just in time for christmas.....

Pickle - me, me!! I need you I am so far off the matching baby toddler cardi's I was imagining I would create. Still sweating over scarf. When you back?!?

Mine just constantly presses the button below the screen so any game is cancelled....

Ow. Heartburn. Just one of the particular pleasures of pregnancy I had forgotten about. Whilst am scared about life with cheeky toddler and new baby, I've had enough of being pregnant now, thanks.

A small task for him > while you get on with assembling the new buggy! X You would hope, right? But considering its taken 6m to get him to find out about paternity leave pay (he insisted it was statutory only. I said in that case we cant afford for him to take any. Turns out is full pay) I thought would do some initial digging. Only prob is I am a financial idiot. What hope is there for us?!? Thanks for other useful links. Can now pile on the pressure to at least do SOMETHING before new tax yr.

Hi - sorry for probably exposing self as stupid - can anyone point me in the direction of information on childcare vouchers. Or give me a rough idiots guide? I don't work atm but husband does - and it's time for little sb to experience the real work of pre school once he's 2 next April - and I think childcare vouchers are a Good Thing yes? And we could start collecting now in advance? And if we do it before april that would be good too? Thanks....

Hiya all - we're off to the st faiths group and party this morning - although without any type of badge/identification maybe see some of you there?

P - mr sb can't cope with the hockey boys nights out either anymore....!!

Update: enormous tree up and decorated for a week now and no major disasters...yet. It's very 'this year' to only decorate from 3ft up though, yes?

Sorry couldn't help it!! Spend a fair amount there too on presents and stuff and it annoys me!! Not enought to stop shopping obv...

ps not like the staff in ed on northcross who are usually too busy chatting about their night out to actually serve you...

I think they are nice - they do recognise you and say hello...(..oops note to self too much time and money spent in jmb...)

Sky plus....

Christmas day viewing sorted....

Running as usual this friday morning 9.30 - 11.30 at St Faiths on Red Post Hill for mums with little ones under one. Next friday (17th) Usborne Books will be there selling half price books...must be worth a visit!!

So sorry cant do friday. Next weekend or new year....or all three?!?

I was around for a couple of hours bit earlier - pointlessly - can't sleep won't sleep...(Me, that is. Toddler, husband and 2 cats snoring away...).

They were cancelled at Dulwich on wed, but they called to let me know at about 8.30am...

Ok so my stagger in the snow this morning with my maclaren was awful! I have sold my 'big' icandy and was hoping to wait until after christmas to splash out on a p&t in anticipation of newbie arrival in the spring...but I need it NOW if it's going to snow!! Am trying to get best price online as prices seem to vary so much for prams. Has anyone ever bought anything from babybaby online? Good price but never heard of them and a tad worried. Or any tips on good online stores? Also - p&t's and cosytoes - the p&t ones look..umm..unnattractive. What have others used? Anyone ever splashed out on a snunkie?

There are other more decorative ergo type slings as Ruth says - love the Rose and Rebellion prints - also the beco, babyhawk Oh Snap (we have the camo and I much prefer it to the ergo for front carrying), connecta, sleepy nico, etc... We have had both a regular ergo and sport ergo in the past. The regular one is more of a canvas material, the sport is a lighter cotton and has a longer waist strap. It def takes practice to get them on your back, but front carrying is easy peasy.
