Morning all. I did write a great long response yesterday but it disappeared and then I was too irritated to do it again. Stupid really why IT winds us up so much!

Emerald Star - I can't really add much to the excellent advice you've had above. I too sadly had a miscarriage and it was bright red - cut your finger red - so don't worry about any brown stuff. Just sounds like some womb renovations for the new occupant

BOC - It must be deadly dull in hospital, but I hope it's done the trick and your BP is normal again. My BF was in hospital last year for a month with placenta praevia and she watched the whole box set of Sex and the City. By the end, I think irritation with Carrie was putting her BP up....

Everyone else hello. Lise, I know what you mean about going out. I both look forward to it, and then can't wait to get home and put my jim jams on. I was supposed to be going for some drinks last week with DH's work mates, and he rang and said it was a "standing up pub" and heaving that I might not enjoy it and I got really upset at not going out, even though my head was telling me I'd have hated standing up for hours. How illogical. So he's taking me somewhere I can sit down and talk to people instead. I do think we need to get some going out in now... otherwise it'll feel like a year or more without stepping outside the door!

It's lovely and cool here at 7am but I think today is going to be a stinker. Yuk. Can't wait for the weather to break tomorrow. Tomorrow is D day and the furbaby goes off to do her job. It's a miracle Melbourne hasn't been flooded with all my blubbing. But on the up side, I hope not to be up at 6.58 on a sunday morning for at least another four months!

anyway, I'm blathering. I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend. x
