How are all you new mummies doing?

[Jojo84]

If I could work full time I would but on my wage if I worked if only be working to pay someone else to look after Luke and I don't see the point in paying out what I make for someone to do what I could do if that makes sense.

I'm using the system as it is intended. I'm working and I'm claiming what I'm entitled to, but I know people who have quit work to get benifits and I would much rather work.

Crowns seem to me to be cosmetic after all it's far cheaper to have a tooth out but they are covered. I had a crown done for free before falling pregnant by student dentists. By far the best treatment I've ever had & I hate dentists too.

 

[Jojo84]

What do they do for a crown?

 

[Toria111]

Think everything I've got Emma so far has been through the deals on amazon that that babybay posts. She's gonna be more interested in eating the paper I reckon though.lol.

I've got the dentist next week. Just for a scale and polish. I love the dentist, like a spa treatment

 

[Jojo84]

I don't get how anyone can like the dentist lol especially a scale and polish - hate those!!

I have generally very good teeth thank god.. Just this bad tooth and a few minor fillings which isn't bad I don't think.

I think my mum is getting Luke some musical instrument things... Dreading it lol

I think one of the other girls is a dental nurse who will confirm or correct me because its over a year & half ago. They'll remove temporary filling, smooth what's left of tooth, take an impression, temp crown & once your crown is ready they remove temp crown (worst bit for me but wasn't too bad) & put it over what's left of your tooth. Felt really weird initially but now I don't notice it.

Defo say root canal treatment is the worst. Much prefer to have a tooth out than that!

 

[Jojo84]

Yeah I've heard awful things about root canals. I'm terrified of having teeth out - always have been so I want to avoid it if I can.

Jens the dental nurse xxx

 

[iWitch]

That's what they did for me but it was a teaching hospital so things may differ slightly

 

[Mummybexee]

Root canal isn't too bad

 

[Jojo84]

My mum had one and it was so awful she just opted to have another one taken out rather than have another one. Luckily I don't need one

 

[T84]

You sure your not one nat! yeah that's exactly what happens jojo, I don't think any work is particularly bad (not a walk in the park either believe me) once you have had local. I've had a lot of work done including root canal and veneers after falling when I was younger.

Your right Bex, she's not even worth it.How do you deal with not seeing her so much? Like how do you make sense of it iykwim. I just can't imagine being anything other than a main person in S life and don't see why people like her grandmother wouldn't want to be either. Nothing queer as folk eh?!

 

[Jojo84]

After I had dental work without them numbing me properly no work is a walk in the park for me... I know his dentist is good and wouldn't do that but I panic even when I think about it. Even a filling is terrifying for me.

 

[Natalilly1288]

No I'm def not one lol xxx

 

[Pumpkin9]

Yikes! You have to be so organised with santas grottos. They seem to be booked months in advance. That price is extortionate!

I'm starting to get there with Thomas' stuff. I have a few things. Keep giving him stuffi buy though! Doh! Not getting too much though as going to put money in his savings account

 

[dizzybaby]

We managed to get the harrods grotto today, we've booked a Wednesday though and the nearest to December we could get was the 26th November I think it is - we only paid the £10 one though

No real news our end - Maddie's now rolling like a pro though so that's fun! We're using 50/50 pouches/home made too. Will be using pouches on holiday, ordered them all through ocado!

 

[Toria111]

Yeah all the available slots were mid week. Kids will be at school oh well, they didn't know I was booking so they won't know any different.

I just placed another order for Ocado. Love how I can just go and add stuff to my order and see all the specials. I've got heaps of pouches left, but ordered a lot more as they are so cheap!

 

[T84]

I don't get delivery here booo!!

 

[T84]

Well gave S a tiny bit carrot an hour after her milk and she boaked on the tiniest wee bit and sicked her whole bottle up! I know it's only the first time apart from porridge but a wee bit disheartened. Think I'll try some porridge and a wee bit fruit purée in it tomorrow as a snack and see how she gets on!

 

[Toria111]

Might be too strong tasting for her. I mixed everything with baby rice or porridge for the first week or so till she got used to it.
