Place marking on this thread. I simply could not keep up, however I've finished work now so maybe there's hope?!
Hope you don't mind

Thanks @RasperryInAMelon good title. 
Went out for dinner tonight to our favourite local pub to celebrate my last day at work, last time til we come back up as tourists 😢
@Adventuregame that's rotten! honey & lemon and boiling water, soothes the throat. Menthol crystals in boiling water breathe in to unblock nose and the usual midwife cure, 2 paracetamol and a warm bath.... and sleep. Not a whole lot else you can do 😕 I was just wondering today where you'd gone because we hadn't seen you for a while, hope you're enjoying peace and quiet!
@teainbed can't believe that's 2 weeks already! Time definitely flies!!
@beanturnipandspud exactly! I always thought I'd be "I'm pregnant not ill!" And that I'd carry on regardless, no-one warned me that growing a person was such hard work!! And now I feel stupid because obviously growing a person is hard, why did I ever think it would be easy
@Badgerbird hope your chimp enjoyed his tea

@Rustler74 sounds complicated!!
I resorted to reading the the thread "Random shit your dog is scared of" quite amusing 
Going to put on one of my hypnobirthing tracks and see if I can get a couple of hours more

Morning all!
rustler bless you for your middle of the night wonderings! I remember your second job has been stressful and a hassle for quite some time, my friend has just had her 3rd week back after ML at NHS in a job she does like and is finding it quite stressful so for what it's worth I would suggest maybe working out what you would have to pay back if you didn't go back and making a decision on facts if you can. A question only you can answer for yourself is something like will you remember/ need that amount of money in a year/ two years time verses the feelings and actual hassle that going back may bring up for you?
Badger and Rasperry I did wear the maxi dress (tucked into bra band 
) yesterday and would highly recommend. No tights necessary and it hid my ankles which I could feel swelling as the hours went on, plus the fact that I had to swap my heels for flats rather more quickly than planned! The wedding was lovely but quite individual, the invitations stressed we should wear what we felt comfortable in and there were 3 well defined camps; those that wore full tweed suits, those that came in normal wedding suit/ posh dress and those that came in t shirts, jeans and trainers and looked like they had nipped in on way to supermarket. It worked!!
Wish we loved the MLU, it's so quiet and friendly with a lot of retro peach décor! Because of it's location they have a high transfer rate but I am happy to have less pain relief options and the possibility of a 30 min average ambulance transfer to try and go there for the atmosphere. They also encourage you to stay there for as long as you want after birth if you do have to go to hospital and friends have found that invaluable. Would definitely recommend your sister goes for a visit at some point.
Could I get some advice / views please? Have just received a wedding invitation from my step sister (she is quite a lot younger than me, we have never really bonded as lived together only for a matter of weeks and she ate all meals in room - we're very different people I would call her extremely self centred and she has been awful to my dad in her teens and into her twenties but I'm sure she'd have a thing or two to say about me). I would have been totally fine with not being invited. It's 2/3 hours away from us on a Friday when our LO will be about 4 months old. We're hoping to breast feed. I'm invited to whole wedding, 1pm onwards, DP (she's never met him) invited to reception from 7pm. How would that work? Would it work? DP would have to take day off but one of us would be separated from the baby most of the day. Would we even be there much after 7pm?
