I am 39w pg and dh and I have to travel to his home town to fill in some paperwork. the idiot has neglected to book us a hotel or even a B&B, we dont even know whether there is even a hospital nearby, at this rate I'll be giving rate in a bleddy barn!

part of me thinks he has done this on purpose (baby isnt his) AIBU to be flaming furious with him?

well, we are here and theres nowhere to stay. DH has been shunned by his relatives and all the B&Bs are full. he has just popped into an inn to see if they have anything at all. baby is getting twitchy and I have awful backache...

i hear cashmymyrhh.com pays better- might stretch to that bugaboo..

Yes, That Herod I've heard he's planning on taking your child benefit away, going on and on about people not working hard enough as slaves. Also read in The Times he gets very paranoid! Pls be careful Xmas Smile

Make sure you get the receipt for the pressies from those wisemen if and when they make it. They give some bizarre pressies.

Although there's always cashmygold.com though doubt you'll get enough for that Bugaboo.

aurorastarofbethlehem · 23/12/2010 17:47

tell me about it. it's wrapped up in that blasted fancy paper that takes ages to unwrap. can't tell you that - it's a suprise!!!

no news on him yet, sorry. you want to be careful of him as well, not a nice person.

aurorastarofbethlehem · 23/12/2010 17:29

aurorastarofbethlehem · 23/12/2010 17:26

aurorastarofbethlehem · 23/12/2010 17:23

and no i'm not following you, am trying to get the three wise men to meet you on time Hmm though being men they will probably refuse to follow directions and take their own time getting there.

aurorastarofbethlehem · 23/12/2010 17:21

op the three wise men Hmm are on their way, it took me ages to get them to follow. they are daft beggrs in disguise so be wary of empty boxes wrapped in fancy paper.

unfortunately, women have very few rights where I am. although, if i mention the biological father im worried that they will section me. oh, its such a mess!

stillavirgin, that is appalling. You have the patience of a saint to suffer through all this. Have you thought about suing them? Or maybe contacting Amnesty International?

tribpot, definately not in the illegal sense, Im a good girl! the police will do nothing. even the teachers and the rabbi turned their backs on us Xmas Sad

stillavirgin, whether in the marijuana or not sense of the word 'stoned' this is not good. If the former, you should really try not to use hallucinogenic drugs right now, I have a feeling the next few days are going to be weird enough for you without them! If the latter, have you called the police? Stoning a pregnant woman is a crime of biblical proportions.

yes, just outside. we are virtual outcasts though. gossip travels fast, unfortunately. I was stoned yesterday!

the shepherds did indeed smell wonderful, but baby is getting restless now. i think my time is near!

pickgo · 22/12/2010 20:23

Well I did also hear their gaf is a bit basic - apparently they're all seated on the ground! Sounds like the kind of places Kim and Aggie sort out to me! Xmas Grin

tribpot · 22/12/2010 20:17

LOL pickgo, are these shepherds the Kim and Aggie of the local community I wonder?

pickgo · 22/12/2010 20:01

tribpot I don't think stillavirgin needs to worry about the cleanliness of the shepherds, I hear they are so conscious of personal hygiene they wash their socks at night!
