He he i didnt even have to do anything jus provide my name address and email address, twas dead gd!

Tractor sounds most dramatic, could almost be a plot in emmerdale if you added someone being in labour or something!!

Diege sit still!! we must all stick on our months, and diege if i fall in march and you do we will be together!!

I don't mind toads, or newts, not keen on the slugs she brings in, but more in case she does it when no one is in there and then it goes and has a family under my dishwasher or whatever.

We have more problems with animals coming in on their own through the cat flap, squirrels come in any chance they get, and we had a fox try his luck once, kitchen really smelled horribly for days. Also had a few spates of the neighbourhood tom's coming in and spraying everywhere, that is disgusting, and we nearly got rid of our cat last year because we were so fed up of it.

We quite often have geese/ducks in the back garden wouldn't be surprised if they have been in before now, and the odd pea-cock!

And we live in the town!! (Albeit on the edge of the town, but not exactly in the middle in the country side!)

Urghh dead birds...Our cat brought a toad in a few months ago and I screamed the place down. Old stoney thing crawling about. Ended up having to get it into a saucepan and put the lid on top before tipping it out in the garden. Couldn't bring myself to scoop it up in the tea-towel!
TEUCH, have vivid picture in my mind of tractor rescue, complete with splattering mud and expletives from all involved!

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 13:59

LOL Diege, xmas babies are fun.....

Magpie is dead now, it was still alive enough in the house to leave blood and guts all over everything though Wish it'd have got it's own back on the cat and bloody pecked her teeth out.

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 13:57

Gorden bennit, here I am with my tales of half dead birds and there you are rescuing beloved tractors.... it is all go go go on here

January baby for me is a no go. The way DH's salery is made up for January leaves us barely covering the bills for the month, I absolutely hate January's, I really do not know, even now, how we got through last month with still enough food in the house! I hate having no money!

Diege · 12/02/2008 13:55

did the magpie live??

Diege · 12/02/2008 13:54

Oh GOD!!! I meant def. no MARCH !! ARGHH!!!

Diege · 12/02/2008 13:53

I'm sitting on April, and won't move, I promise . Deffo NOT April, as don't want a Xmas baby!

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 13:52

FFS I meant DS2 had woken up.

And I meant to say well done to BB on her win.

And the housework wasn't your normal run of the mill clear up, the bloody cat bought in a sodding magpie (how the hell she caught that I don't know!) luckily she didn't get any further than the kitchen with it! But before I realised the noise was coming from inside the house, she had managed to turn my kitchen into a scene from Phsyco.

Of course said cat is now locked out looking very sorry for herself!

Teuch · 12/02/2008 13:50

Yay Diege...remind me again why March is out?!

Hullo all - I am not really here again, I am working

Tractor got stuck in a bog yesterday...really, really stuck and DH was very depressed last night as it is his pride and joy. Got a friend with another tractor to tow it out but no use as it was almost toppling with DH inside (Eek, could hardly watch!), then got a digger too, took window out so they could safely tie it up to hold it upright and puuuuuuuuulllled with the other tractor again....hurrah!!! Took two hours and was very dramatic

BTW, DS is a January baby and it is lovely - you get to cosy up with your bump under layers of clothes and hide indoors in your jammies with the newborn, then baby is just getting mobile as the good weather comes along, so lots of playing in the garden and long walks.

And please don't worry about travelling or whatever when pregnant...everything is surmountable. Long drives can have pleasant stop-offs, for example Kay!!! >

OMG Diege, pick a month and sit on it will you LOL Am I the only one still on the same month as what I said from the beginning?!!!

DS1 has woke up typical after I just finished the house work!

Must go and get him!

Diege · 12/02/2008 13:42

Congrats BB, that great news . Must look at some of the competitions on here. I sort of restrict myself to conception/pregnany/antenatal thread/style (sometimes), and don't really go near the others! (well, just lurk!).
Right, you lot are going to be sick of me, but I have decided to go back to (ie. forward) to APRIL. It took 5 months of ttc-ing for dd3, so the sooner the better really! . I'll not change again, promise!

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 13:14

i did a thing on here for a free breast pump and bits and have won one, ha ha i shall put it up its from MAM, comes with nip shield bottle teat and DVD and pads..result! one less thingto buy and it was offa a thread from here too

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 12:50

I was worried about missing out on things ds did like crawling and stuff, but I didnt

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 12:48

I was thinking that my work prob wouldnt be very accomodating so i wld stay as long as i had to, to keep my enhanced mat pay, then try and get pt at somewhere like tesco

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 12:45

I really hated it at first, and honestly if we could afford it I wouldnt be there.
But I do enjoy being at work most of the time.
I'll probably go back again after the next one

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 12:42

So here's a q for you all, how did you find it going back to work? and are you all planning to go back? x

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 12:37

I get travel sickness so Im not sure if it will such a good idea

largeginandtonic · 12/02/2008 12:34

The 10 hr flight was akiller, i swelled up! Great holiday though. I wore a bikini too, it was BAKING!

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 12:31

That was good LG&T, I just dont know if I fancy around 7 hours being sat in a car

largeginandtonic · 12/02/2008 12:30

I went to NY while 5months preg with dd and Mexico while 6 months preg with ds#4. Got extra leg room for free as i had such a huge bump!

kayzisbroody · 12/02/2008 12:13

I think a January baby would be ok. I am tempted to try now as I wouldn't mind a november baby, but I dont fancy being 5 months and having to go to devon from north yorkshire

BeMyLilBaby · 12/02/2008 12:10

i dont want to go back wards either ive had cp twice!!! so much for only being able to have it once!

NatalieJane · 12/02/2008 12:07

Kay I don't want to go backwards at all, in fact was trying to convince DH last night that April wouldn't be too bad, but even I know that a January baby would be a disaster!
