I want a tumble dryer but no where to really put one! Every corner of my house is full already
We have some money in savings, need to get round to getting a new oven! Ours is gas and we can't get the grill to work. I want grilled cheese on toast and an electric fan oven. Our oven space seems weirdly small though, so it might be difficult!

The space for our cooker is extremely small...Or kitchen is absolutely tiny. Our tumble dryer is in a cupboard with an indoor condenser that you put water in and connect the hose to.

My kitchen isn't small, but it's all integrated appliances and stupid corner cupboards!
It took me long enough to convince Andrew we needed a second aired for drying clothes, I think I'll leave tackling the need for a tumble dryer until I go back to work!

Haha, I could be doing with a second one at this rate too as I'm planning on using my airer as often as possible to save on electric! On the plus side, I'm now caught up with washing! Last load is in the machine!

Can you opt out of taking the depression questionnaire at 6 week check with HV?

Well I guess they can't make you do it but it would send out quite a loud message if you do. I never had to do it nobody gave me it or asked anything about me just about Poppy.



You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

You probably could but I'd imagine it would give warning signs, Sam. What's your reasoning for wanting to opt out?

Well, my friend that I'm bridesmaid for has bought me a bridesmaid dress before I even tried it on or anything. I hate it. One of my friends thinks its nice but I can't see me wearing it or being comfortable wearing it. Tbf, I haven't tried it on yet and I may change my opinion but mum reckons the style won't suit me at all. I'm already feeling bad enough about my weight and I just feel that this is going to make me feel even bigger!

Just its a rubbish questionnaire which I score highly on purely based on general MH issues. It's no reflection of if I have any problems and I don't want to drag anything up in my notes as I'm trying to get 6 months clear so I can get life insurance.

Maybe just blag it a bit and not make out how you're feeling? Or explain that you'd rather not take it cause you are happy as you are and the test always fails for you due to your past MH issues?

Yeah I could do. She's a nice enough HV so might explain but its a bit awkward as I didn't mention any issues when she asked last time.

Just answer what you want her to hear.



Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.

There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.

I was only partially truthful on my questionnaire, and I still scored a 6, and was advised to mention it to the gp. Luckily, the gp didn't seem to care!

Sam, do you feel you are okay or do you feel you could benefit from additional support?
I applied for life insurance a few years ago, and got declined because the questions asked about the last 10 years and so my mh history from when I was 16 came up. Now I can't get critical illness cover for less than £100 because of my weight :(

Fingers crossed the dress isn't as bad as you imagine. Just try and remember it's her day. I tried to be super nice to my bridesmaids and one of them hasn't spoken to me since I moved from the centre of Aberdeen. She will come crawling back sometime when she has a crisis she can't tell her other friends about.

I've seen a picture of it though, Kirsty, and its not nice. I know its her day but I would never ever make my bridesmaids wear something they didn't like because at the end of the day they want to be comfortable too. The fabric also looks heavy which isn't ideal as she's getting married in the winter gardens at Duthie park which is completely roasting in the summer!

Is it too late to explain these concerns to her? Especially about the weight of the fabric, she wouldn't want her bridesmaids looking sweaty in her photos!

Auroras mobile is stuck in a loop. It keeps playing the first few notes on repeat. Luckily it's keeping her amused, means I get longer to lie in bed!

I've not spoken to her more about it as she never responded to my last whatsapp about what wasn't to like about the dress.

Glad you passed, Sam!

My damn washing machine has stopped again! Think there must have still been a kerby grip hiding in it somewhere not wanting to be found!

Nic, I hope it can be saved again

Wellingtons, welcome =D

Aurora has finally been put on milk free formula. The dr (who didn't ask to,see her out her pram last time) took one look at her and said 'that looks like a baby with an allergy' no **** Sherlock *anger face*
So now we are waiting for a referral to a pediatric dietician and have to wait for that before we can wean her. So hoping it comes through soon

Welcome Wellingtons! How are you feeling?

About time, Kirsty!
