theres no rush over the storky gifts ladies.......let all try and send by say the end of sept? how does that sound? and £10 is a guide anyhow, just something nice, that you would like to recieve yourself, how much it costs is really irrelevant. I think I may send my stork lots of tiny gifts instead, as if shes anything like me (and you know, I think she is) getting the post often is alot of the fun!
have a midwife app today. another boring, in and out one. they just dont seem interested in me on my fourth baby, its like 'well you've done this before, everythings fine, off you go' it nearly offends me everytime!
hello to lottielou btw.
oh guess what guys? yesterday, for one reason or another I met a lady who had been working in India, with midwifes out there, shes known for her 'sixth sense' in predicting births.....she said I'm prob having a boy (okay thats it, EVERYTHING is saying boy this time, its a boy then!) and about five to seven days early!!!! it was very spooky the way she said it. could of course be a load of old cobblers, but I'm a pg lady and believe anything!

HOORAH DS is back at school today! Still have my 3 mindees tho but its still quiet!

Took a drive today to a breakers yard to get a heaplamp for my little uno. A drive which should have been 21 minutes lasted 1hour cos i got hopelessly lost!!! Got my headlamp tho so have saved myself £50! Problem is ive got back and my ulysses has sprung a leak! not sure whats leaking but dont think its oil or brake fluid cos it looks like water! Not coming from radiator as level is fine so just think it may be washer pipe that goes to back window!!! DH problem tho not mine!!

Just been to my mw - on my assistants request I asked her if the heartbeat was a galloping horse or a train and she said horse.

So oh wise Dec MN'ers - whats a horse?????

Nemo1977 · 31/08/2005 14:39

horse is supposed to be girl and train boy

sweetheart · 31/08/2005 14:45

oh dear!!!

expatinscotland · 31/08/2005 15:02

Huh? Train? Horse? 'Fraid I really can't tell the differnce. Is that one of those 'if you have heartburn it's a dark-headed girl' old wives tales, too?

I'm confused! But oh, well, will have to wait till December to find out!

Jaysfirst · 31/08/2005 15:06

sympathise with the studying lark ei, i have an exam in two weeks ( which i still have to start revising for) and an essay to hand in a week later...great huh. I am training to be a probation officer and have work three days a week and mondays and tuesdays ( and whenever i can skive off) i have home learning....hearts not in it tho i seem to have lost all motivation!

ei23mummy · 31/08/2005 15:07

hey girlies iv got a joke for yez-its a longun tho!!
there was a journalist sitting in his office one day when suddenly he gets a mysterious phone call. the man on the other end says'iv got a story for you.' he went on to say that if the journalist proceeds to the big grey mountain in north wales, goes up to the third cave, through all the doors within, he will come across an amazing sight. through the golden door there is a large cave, in the centre of that cave is a cage with a white monkey in it that can do the most amazing magic tricks. the journalist thought 'hmmm this could be worth a look' so he takes the directions from the man and says goodbye. before he put the phone down the man said, 'you can do what you like re: photos or askin the monkey questions but whatever you do dont touch the monkey!' the journalist was intriqued by this and asked why but the man refused to say and ended the phone call abruptly.
on the strength of the directions the journalist decided to go and see this amazing monkey and quickly ran to the nearest bus stop. he took the bus to the train station, the train to north wales, and then called a taxi to the big grey mountain. he then hiked his way up the mountain passing two caves on the way up til he came to the third. he walked into the cave and toward the wooden door on the other side. he opened this door and found another, almost identical one followed it this happened again when he opened this door and the next one. finally after foer more identical wooden doors he came to a large shining golden door. he turned the golden knob and entered a large dimly lit cave. in the centre of this cave just as he had been told was a cave containing a whits monkey that was performing the most extraordinary magic tricks. the journalist was amazed and began taking pictures and requesting that the monkey perform more and more tricks which the monkey gladly did. after about 2 hours of whatching the monkey the journalist started to feel a bit bored and was searching for something more to do. he then remembered the warning he had been given earlier(DONT TOUCH THE MONKEY!!)
he began to wonder what harm it would do to touch the monkey and approached the cage. he reached out and tapped the monkey on its hairy arm and for a moment nothing happened. suddenly the monkey screeched and BURST out of the cave!!
the journalist s**t himself and turned and ran through the golden door closing it behind him hoping that the monkey wouldnt follow-but it did. he then ran through the other doors closing them behind him stopping for breath at the other side he muttered 'thank god the monkeys gone' but he was wrong the monkey came bursting through the wooden door toward him. the journalist began screaming and sprinted down the rest of the mountain to the taxi rank nearby, jumped into a taxi and ordered it to the train station. he started to relax as he boarded th train until he noticed an extremely hairy monkey gripping onto the back of the train!!!!
he managed to get to the bus that would take him home and was relieved to find the monkey was nowhere to be seen. however when he got to his stop he saw none other than the white monkey getting off the bus behind his.. he ran at top speed into his house and shut the front door just in time to see the monkey walking up his front path. panicking he decided to hide and went up to his bedroom. sittin at the bottom of his wardrobe he could hear the white monkey walking up the stairs... suddenly it burst into the room and started to look around for the poor jounalist... at that moment the journalist had the uncontrollable urge to sneeze.
trying with all his might he couldnt hold it in and sneezed very loudly giving himself away!!! the monkey turned and walked toward the cupboard pulled the door open laughing crazily he bent down to the journalist touched him on the arm and whispered.....TICK!

sweetheart · 31/08/2005 15:08

expat - yes it's an old wives tale but usually quite accurate.

I wouldn't mind a girl - it's just the hospital said biy - and I've brought blue stuff

ninah · 31/08/2005 15:09

but sh don't be such a tease, you KNOW!

sweetheart · 31/08/2005 15:15

The hospital said they were only 85% sure it's a boy, and I have heard quite a few stories of them getting it wrong!!!!!

Perhaps they were wrong with me too and it's a girl!!!

ninah · 31/08/2005 15:33

OMG it's 85% boy 15% horse! lol

Nemo1977 · 31/08/2005 15:37
