20th JSing GRADS thread - our chat's still filthy, just not in front of the baby...

Good work La. Was going to attempt but MrWil has the ipad. Are you the one in your group of friends who gets left to do all the organising when noone else bothers?! Can't link on my phone but the mumming thread is in 'being a parent' then 'post-natal clubs'.

Hope you're ok zyla.

Excellent work, I was worried for moment...! Just Mumming 3

Place marking!

Thanks for the new fred

How do I be on the Facebook group?

Thanks for the Fred la!

ooo, that was a close one! Thanks for new fred la

No you're not a fanny la. I think people just have different views of announcing on fb. I wasn't comfortable with it until past the 20w scan, but I have some friends who have announced on fb at 12w (and some as soon as they got a bfp!) and some that haven't ever announced on fb. Everyone's different

Thanks for all the kind wishes. Me and dh are speaking a bit now. It'll blow over, it's just one of those silly arguments over nothing important. I've put down the F&N bar, but have just made a batch of cinnamon crunch muffins to devour instead

Ooh it's nearly time for The Voice, who watches? I'll have to stealthily turn Peppa Pig off first though. Am sure she can be bribed with cake.

Hello all.

Zyla fx your baby stays put if you need to chat I know how scary prem birth can be <hugs>

Ooh that was close!

la you're only a fanny for thinking your a fanny. She probably said that as a way to tell ppl she didn't want it branded around everywhere yet, not as a dig at fb announcers in general, and definitely not as a dig at you. I still can't decide on whether we will announce on fb if we get that far but I think it will depend if dh will let me put with it that we had to do ivf/spend a long time ttc.

purple I honestly can't believe you are considering telling your sister about your pg so she can get her 12yo ds to clean the litter trays so your dh doesn't have to. What's he going to do when he's knee deep in your baby's puke and shit if he can't clean out a litter tray!!

Evening lovelies. Hope you all had a good day
I mooches round mothercare and babiesrus legitimately for the first time ever
Chose a nice pram/travel system and a few bits. Took pics on my phone as we won't be buying anything for months!

Spoke to my sister, told her I can't do the litter tray and she paused for a second til she realised why...it was quite funny. Anyway she's delighted and the cats barely use the tray now so she's going to try wean them off it before we go

Parents have invited us round for lunch tomorrow. I won't be able to hold it in and as I've told my sister I have to tell them too really

Haha not quite sure I've been knee deep in puke and shit but that's a brilliant image Lil .

What's Emma's Diary La?

Lil if it were our cat then he'd be doing it no question. But it's not, it's someone else's 3 cats and he doesn't have to do it. He's never had cats and doesn't know about them. He'd do it if there were no other option but it's not fair of me to make him
he doesn't know he's doing the dog shit in the garden yet but I ain't

Argh! It was full when I logged in - panic!

Don't feel bad la, there is no right or wrong way to tell people and sure your friend wasn't having a dig. I didn't do it and not planning an announcement but doesn't mean my way is better, neither is yours. It's personal. Just do what feels right for you!

Glad the tray thing is sorted purple, and now you can talk to sister about it all too!

I watch The Voice wil, might have missed a bit with a micro sleep but it's on. Will.I.Am never turns!

Cinnamon crunch muffin - send one over this way mini!

DH build our walk in wardrobe that's been laying around for probably over a year whilst I was a way. What a sweety. Had a conversation about furniture and stuff while we we're up there - was very exciting! We think furniture wise for baby we only need a cot. But haven't investigated anything. Just decided where in the room it will go!

la I challenge your anxiety - does it actually matter if someone thinks you're daft? sorry this is what I do to dh when he's feeling anxious/having confidence issues, I'm like walking talking CBT!

dulcet how sweet of him. we need to buy a new house before we think about what furniture we need!

La I plan to announce on Facebook in the same way
One of my friends wrote in sand on a beach and took a pic. I quite liked that idea.

I liked the Silver Cross Wayfarer in red, it comes with a carry cot. The car seat is extra and we will need 2 car seat bases

I may change my mind when we get to buy one but it's nice and sturdy and I didn't fancy 3 wheels or those ones with piddly front wheels. I had a wee push in the shop too and it's comfy

I have been for lunch and mocktails with DH and devoured a boxed set. It's time to retire my leather leggings already! We had a mooch round john Lewis which was nice but tbh a lot of this doesn't feel that new as my Sister has a 2 year old so I'm quite up on the paraphernalia. I wouldn't be surprised if we inherited some of their stuff, she's always storing stuff at our house.

I'm really struggling not telling DSis. If I don't see her then fine but I'm seeing her tomorrow. DH would rather wait a week.

The other complication is that my Dad lives here part time - oh yes - who smokes. Mostly outside but occasionally inside and I'll be sat with him so obviously I will be well out of the way...but until he knows, he won't know to be careful.

Constipation and wind are a joy. Am a bit crampy and hoping that's normal

I also plan to announce on FB...I am an avid user and it would be weird not to.
