Night. If you've got time to post BFP on Friday, we'd love to know. Otherwise have a fab holiday.

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 22:04

You're an ex Guide aren't you! We used to do that with our wellies!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 22:03

Im going to have to go to bed now m.

I'm soooooooo tired!

Last day of work tomo, cant wait! ive done all the kids packing, and my boss is so stressed and owrking late that ive offered to do her ironing tomo She said no at first, but i insisted. She was so grateful.

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 22:03

My symptoms were a bit sketchy tbh. I was 24 and always on the piss! I thought I just had the hang over from hell every day! Terrible really, but since AF was still present, I didn't have any reason to think otherwise. I remember being in a club one night, about a week before thinking I ought to speak to the doctor about how shitty I felt and I just couldn't dance anymore! My legs just felt so heavy and yes my knees were really sore. I had that skin condition too, can't remember what its called, rosey somthing. My cheeks were really red and angry looking. Just put it downto too much booze!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 22:01

wow - im jealous. Nice tent!

Take warm clothes for night time- it gets pretty chilly even if its been a hot day. Wear and old jumper in bed.

also take a hotty botty, they are great to pop into your sleeping bag before you get in.

Y shaped sticks for your wellies ( you hang a welly on each of the bits if the Y and put the straight bit in the soil- it keeps your wellies dry!)

told you- super camper!!!!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:58

really?

was it like weird getting up from sitting on the floor? They ache and my knees feel weak.

I just feel quite odd you know? (no comments on my odness cheeky minx)

My mum is convinced, dh is too. Im not wanting to get my hopes up. I would be sooooooo happy, but then im so scared too!

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 21:57

Its a biggy! 6m x 4m. two bedroom compartments and lots of little pockets to put 'stuff' in! I do like stuff!

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 21:56

When I finally realised I was pg with dd (nearly 4 months!) I realised why my legs were so painful! I hate to build up hopes though.

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:56

ooooooooooooooh no! that would scar her for life!!!!

do you have a big tent?

We left ours at glasto- it was a lovely tent, but we donated it to oxfam. So its now in africa sheltering a family. I like that idea.

i do miss my tent though. It had a porch and evrything!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:54

well no not really but then i dont know what to look for. I mean sickness, not a sausage, but isnt that later on?

Its my back..it hurts lots....thats a symptom?

headache, tired, realy tired but when i go to bed i dont sleep so well.
weird dreams, bad knees (could be marathon thing though) achey boobs but not painful.

im trying not to think about it really. Am testing because 1. its the end of my 2 wk wait from my positive ov test and bd'ing, and 2. im off on my hols to drink alot.

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 21:54

We don't want any cosying shinanigan with an 11 year old about 2 ft away from us now do we!

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 21:51

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 21:50

I'm here -don't go yet!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:48

youve gone?!

oy!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:47

i meant cosey..............

I said i was off to bed, then the computer distracted me! Hes now shouting to tell me to get to sleep because ive been so knackered this wk! I havent felt this tired since the marathon!

I ache, my whole body aches, my back, my boobs....AF on her way i reckon. Just in time for my daisies too. Bugger.

am doing a pg test on fri.

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:45

my dh is 6 1/2 stone heavier than me and yes- i do get squidged when we are in the sleeping bag, but its ocsey and if he gets too closei just pinch him! tee-hee!

at the mo though, hes allowed as close as he likes as often as he likes he thinks its his birthday!

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 21:42

We're going to Suffolk. Didn't want to go too far, since its only til Friday. There's a fishing lake on site which dh & dd will be at and I'll be doing my impression of Hyacynth Bucket in the tent! But mostly drinking wine and reading. I couldn't possibily have a double sleeping bag! No! He's a big bloke my dh and I'm a bit of a weed and I have visions of him turning over, with the sleeping bag twisted under him and me flying over the top of him! That and he's a bloody fidget in bed! He doesn't keep still. I need to be able to get away - quick!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:37

ps- im the super camper of camping! dh and i have a double sleeping bag which is attatched to an inflatable double air matress- pure camping bliss!

youre going to have soooooooo much fun! camping rocks!

where to?

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:35

im off to chav land! (torimolinus!)

Im off with my bf who just found out she cant have children bless her. Her dh is stasying at ours while we jet off. I think it will do her the world of good. Shes being very quiet about it and so i think being on a girly break will let it out.

so- ive a week there and a week doing DIY at home! am so in need of this break, Been working my ass off!

MaureenMLove · 25/07/2007 21:29

Better chat on this one, its not fair to hijack Lissie's thread.
So, you're off on your jollies at the weekend? Where you going?
We've just booked our first camping trip for next week. DH is currently testing his sleeping bag! Saddo! He's lying on the sofa like a slug! He's bought oneof those mummy ones, that go right up over your head and it gets thinner towards the bottom. Too caustophobic for me!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:26

band the ness is gobildogook for bend the knees

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:26

constipation advice- brown sugar mixed with warm water-works a treat for children!

also try massage:

lightly massage the stomach in an anti-clockwise circle, dont press too hard. Every now and then band the kness and push towards stomach (dont break her legs-its lie crouching but shes on her back)

oooooooooooooh get me- miss smarty pants!

fifilou · 25/07/2007 21:23

still open then?!

Hiya!!!!!
