After reading all the posts, I have to say Nic, you poor thing! What a horrible situation and I can totally understand how upset you must have been. As for MIL, pft! to her. What a totally ridiculous thing to say, we can't have eyes everywhere. I hope you being kind to yourself this weekend and don't worry, we know you are definately not a slack mum!

Tali - as my DH would say, have you got your angry head on today! I think we all have moments like that, going out and screaming can be quite theraputic. Try to keep smiling

Julie - welcome back. Glad to hear all is now well and you have your iron levels sorted out. I am sure you'll be feeling more energized as your second trimester kicks along.

Rory - how was your first week back at work? Love the protective brother, how gorgeous.

Ali - great news with the Gaviscon, glad to hear its working for you. Hope you managed to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine.

Amanda - hope your m/s disappears soon. It must be a killer, I hear Jaspen and Julie talking about it and count myself as very lucky not to have suffered it with either pregnancy. Did you have m/s with your others?

Bath - how is your medication going, do you feel any better for taking it? Wade is so sweet (not for nicking off!) telling you to take your Vitamin B. As for nicking off, thankfully one mother decided to help you out.

Maya - you know I am always up for coffee!!!! And we do have good coffee. Glad you enjoyed your birthday, sounds like a good day and night. Good idea to have a plan B, you might find you need to use it a few times. Good luck starting back at uni this year, I hope you enjoy it more with the reduced workload.

I saw the most awful thing happen today. My GF and I took the kids to the shops, had some atea then went and did some shopping. We were in a shop looking around, when I heard all this screaming and yelling. I looked outside the shop to see people running, I started to worry why they were all running. Next thing I see this old lady in a wheel chair flying along and she hits this car. The car was there as part of a promotion and she just smacked straight into it and flew out of the wheelchair on the ground. My heart just sank, thankfully my GF and the older kids were over the otherside of the shop and didn't see. I heard from people nearby that her husband was wheeling her onto the escalator and trippped, let go of the wheelchair and she just took off down the escalator. It is a very steep escalator and was going so fast when I saw her, and it happened really quickly. There was lots of people standing around and a nurse came rushing over to help. The poor husband came donw and he was very distressed and needed help to sit down. I felt really sorry for him. We decided to move away and take the kids away from it all as they were starting to ask lots of questions. We noticed though, that it took ages for the ambulance to arrive. My GF and I just kept saying how awful it was and we couldn't believe what had just happened. I kept getting a bit shaky thinking about it. I really hope the woman is OK but she would have sustained some nasty injuries as she hit the car with her legs then body. I called DH at work to see if he could check up and tell me anything but he didn't have any details of it. I rang MIL to tell her as she always takes her mum shopping in a wheelchair and often uses the escalators. It goes to show how easy a nasty accident can happen.
