here's new thread just in the nick of time i think, sorry about boring title i have no brain at the mo. heretis

Hello all! I rarely post at weekends, but am staying with inlaws this weekend and DH and them have all gone to play golf, so I'm taking advantage of a bit of "me" time and just reading and surfing the net etc. Rather nice as DH is hyper and doesn't really get the relaxing and taking it gently thing! Actually having a lovely time with them all.

Tried to shave my legs in the bath last night - I swear I've got a fringe at the back where I can't reach the hairs!!

Very exciting day yesterday - we bought a new car! We were set on a golf as don't want anything too big in London as parking is so hellish. So we went to a few dealers and couldn't find anything in our budget that was what we wanted. We'd driven about 30 miles by then and as we were coming back to his parent's village, there was a car lot, so we popped in. Found a Bora - which is basically a golf, but more of a saloon, not a hatchback - and it's about half the price! Marvellous. So we got it - it was £500 under our budget and a 2 litre engine with aircon and remote locking and a sunroof and everything. Chuffed to bits! Wow, that was boring - sorry! - but exciting for us!

Kayz and Effie - sorry to hear about your LO's wobblies - a treat in store for the first timers amongst us!

New title for a new thread, how about "Due Dec 08 - In the Departure Lounge and getting ready for Take Off" or something - or maybe that's rubbish! I'm not very good at that sort of thing! Bloody hell - can't believe how soon it's all going to kick off - 7 weeks today for me. AAAAGH!

I feel like mine has been taking some kind of steroids - it's booting me to high heaven. Hardly slept a wink last night!

Kayz: sympathies re the tantrums, I had DS for the day yesterday as DH was meeting up with a friend and he was not the easiest of children . We ended up having several rows, plus a couple of tantrums - I was tempted to stalk off and leave him in the park at one point! An afternoon with snacks and a new Bob the Builder dvd restored us both (DH has now taken him out for the morning so I'm finishing off chores and cooking lunch).

Am up for the Secret Stork - will email April

No suggestions from me I'm afraid, can't think of a thing tonight!

majormoo I can't believe your fil & bil just let you do all the work! Hope you get a nice break now from visitors

Dh & I are feeling a bit silly tonight, we've just confused night terrors with possible meningitis , but we are relieved it wasn't anything serious!

thanks Verso, we were indeed on the April 05 thread

AM - have emailed you. I think we were on the April 05 thread together!

Thanks ladies for your details, have 4 of you so far. JAM please can you email me, i know i have your details but i have it in a special DEC SECRET STORK folder and will refer to that when working out who has who.

Thanks Majormoo I have had a better day today.

I can't believe they let you move a table and sit on the floor!!

I won that sling on Ebay!! Its the first thing I have ever won!!!!

We need a new thread. Any suggestions??

have tried to catch up but there is so much to read.

Kayz-hope you have a better day today

Turnip/PD must be so hard having to deal with your fathers.

Have not been on for a while as have had loads of family birthdays, and much as I like my in-laws, was so pleased when they eventually left yesterday. Am looking forward to seeing my side of the family in half term who may actually notice that I am expecting a baby in 7 weeks time. After having all DH's family over for dinner Thursday, was really irritated that while FIL and BIL sat on the sofa relaxing with their wine, SIL and I were tidying up and moving the dining table back in place (which is quite heavy). AND I ended up sitting on the floor on a practically flat bean bag. grrr.
Sorry just feeling very tired and moody.
