Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Helen I am so sorry. I would have slapped her. How rediculous!

Please contact your bank so and ask what you need to open an account. You will probably need a bill in your name with your home address for Fica. xxx

Well, the week is off to a great start, I had a complete meltdown in the middle of the labour centre, tears, angry voice, the works Gave all us pregnant women a good name...not So I'd queued for 2 hours this morning, had Oliver with me as mum is spending the day with a friend, I thank my lucky stars he's a little angel and gave me no trouble. I STILL can't submit my UIF. This time its not the Company that's stuffed up, the lady checked all my papers last week and said they were all fine apart from the one form that work had filled out wrong, so I got that one sorted on Friday and take it all back this morning. A different lady sees me today and tunes me straight up that my banking form is wrong as I've asked for the money to be deposited into Theo's account over which I also have signing power. She says they will not process my claim unless the bank account is my own personal account. I don't have one, I've never needed one in the whole time I've lived here and I don't see the point in having to pay bank charges on 2 accounts when we only need one so I tell her as much and she says tough, that's the rule I must now go and open an account. I ask why the lady didn't tell me this last week when she checked all my papers and even told me I had to redo the one banking form as its been updated which I'd duly done this morning. She tells me she must've told me because she knows the rules. Then I lost it lol, I told her she most certainly did not tell me, this is the third time I've been here and I would do anything to avoid having to come back and sit in the damn queue and if she told me to do it I damn well would've done it, I told her she can see from the size of me and all my forms that I'm due to pop any second and I really don't need to be running around trying to get stupid forms filled out. Then I burst into tears lol.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO pi$$ed off about this whole situation, if work had done it right in the first place I would've gone last week, been told what this lady told me this morning so would've organised a bank account and only had to go back once more, now days before I'm due I have to run around and open a stupid bank account that I don't even want, I've wasted half a tank of petrol driving there 3 times and I still have to go back a 4th time. ARGGGHHHH! And I'm still really bitter and seething that work aren't paying me any maternity leave.

Anyways, I emptied the well, cried my eyes out the whole drive home, feel a bit better but now I have the joy of trying to get to a bank this afternoon to open an account.

Sorry for all my whining, seems that's all I've done these last few days I think I'm too tense at the moment for this baby to even think about making an appearance

Haven't read any of your posts yet, just needed to offload so I'll catch up later

Helen Thinking of you love! Hope you get UIF sorted once and for all today and I remember those nerves.. take some rescue and take it really easy!

Yoza - yes, Siba has to just get used to all the circulating germs. Every kid will go through that whether they start at 5 months or 3 yrs! Sorry you are going through it! Supplements you can add to help him get stronger are 1) Multivitamin, 2) Probiotics with night time bottle ,3) Sterimar daily morning and night and increase when more sick..

VIx - also relieved you are seeing gynae today Hope he will bring you some relief in whatever way he can!

Nicole what lovely pics - cool boatride! Glad K got spoilt!

Miss K = happy belated birthday to saarah! Cute pics, well done on a great party!

Pleasure Ally - thanks for the party !

Simone - sorry about your sister!

Lwasi - sorry you are feeling down, almost over now

Julz - too cute falling asleep with food in his mouth on your lap! glad it went well

we went for din on fri night and took cam, at it was surprisingly painless -we bathed cam before we left, then let him play on arrival until he was really tired by 19h15 and then put him in a camper cot and he fell asleep while we had dinner, then woke him up and put him in the car - he spoke a bit and then fell asleep, then moved him to the cot and he went straight to sleep. will definately start going out for a few more dinners.

Bit busy at work today but will catch up later

Yoza sorry to hear Siba is sick, and the answer to your question is yes K got sick often in the first 3 months at creche, he was sick at least twice a month, it does get better as the build their immune system to all these illnesses. I just make sure i give him 5mls of creche guard everymorning and try make him eat alot of fruit and veggies. How long has Siba been in creche for now?

Awww Both of the girls are gorgeous.


Lisha ouch on Shrey 2 eina's. Glad the move with your mom went smoothly How does Shrey react to her being there?.

K also had 2 accidents whilst going down the water slide, he hit his head, but didnt even show an reaction to it.
