sorry, just realised my post contained no sympathy at all for VAG - hope it passes soon.

SkaterBabe is due in my birthday month (just).

We went to Barbados for honeymoon.

My cat keeps trying to sit on my changing matt.

Skater that is better than finding your dog asleep in the Bugaboo. (child was not in it at time, I hasten to add) We are not talking small dog either - 3 stone bull terrier. She could bare fit in the thing!

If you want a really good laugh (and to lose about 2 hours) then have a look at this yummy mummy I wept tears of joy at some of the post, including our very own HeadBanger. She does have a marvellous command of the english language.

There are some funny fuckers on here.

polly that is v v funny. Any photographic evidence?

Btw ss a dog owner do you think it is taking the piss to leave your doglet with a friend for the afternoon? We did today but couldn't help but feel from what she said when we collected him that it was alot of work for her with her own 1 year old baby and then felt guilty. She did say yes to me asking in the first place... Don't know why I feel bad really.

I do have a photo somewhere Honey I will try to find. I have just got as far in the yummymummy thread where our Ski has joined the discussion. Subtle as a brick eh, Ski?! Honestly, it is better than tv...

Honey, I wouldn't feel bad about your friend - you asked and she said yes. If it was a bit of a nightmare you might find she makes excuses next time! Do you have any mates with their own dogs? Sounds like she is not v dog-friendly?

I really want to see the dog in a bugaboo!

Today has been an exciting first. I threw up and had a nosebleed at the same time. Which led to the scary 'oh god I'm throwing up blood' moment, closely followed by the 'oh that's alright, it's just my nose'.

silver Please to list all freebies received at shower and description of cakes consumed?

medee A week at a time, no need to over-do it! Stay away from youtube.

honey Dogs are hardly hard work. Lead dog to sofa - say "sit". Bish bosh.

I saw a chihuahua in a Stokke Xplory on Saturday. :( 1000 frickin' euros for a dog the size of your hand.

muser I once puked, farted, pissed, coughed, cried and blood vessels burst in one session. It's a glam business. At least at your stage you won't be pissing yourself.

mornings all, I haz just been lolling at the aibu fred

We are scared to get our bouncy chair out of the box incase the cats decide it it theirs - stripes was lying under the baby gym last night looking quite at home.

That I suppose is the advantage of dogs - a firm "no" and a death stare. Try and pull such a move with a cat like yours and he'll destroy your souls. :(

If you're not vag, look away now...

vag Here's the low-down on piles: go to the doctor. Get proper stuff for them, don't use the OTC stuff as it's not strong enough. I had terrible, terrible pain for several months before the pain became worse than the embarassment of a stranger looking at my bottom. Made worse by doc saying, "oh that's not too bad" making me feel like a fooool. Anyway, he gave me some lurvely cream what I then wanted to marry, which although it didn't shrink them (and they continued to grow) it took the pain away (phew).

Buy yourself some wet toilet paper stuff (you know, the wipes) and get thyself to the doctor.

My meds said not suitable in pregnancy but doc said was ok to use for a week and Comma is fine and all that.

Within a week of Comma making his arrival they started to shrink which was great, but I will be left with skin tags which may need to be removed. Which is nice.

Obviously the usual stuff applies - lots of fruit and veg, keep yerself regular and so on but in my experience this didn't make them better, just stopped them getting worse.

I really sympathise my dear. :(

I haz uploaded pic of dog in Bug on y'ere. Little bitchbag - we'd only just got it out of the box and were trying to put it together. Went to kitchen for cuppa, came back and she'd made it her own!

Some people just don't 'get' dogs do they? One of TG's mates does not even know how to pet Pol, he does that awkward thing where he tries to pat her on the head and she thinks 'wtf is he doing?' and looks up to try and see then thrashes around head butting him.... After 6 years they have almost reached an uneasy truce. In his defence they never had pets and he got into his 30's before he really spent any time with a dog. Can't imagine that meself!

Vag I haz not suffered with piles (yet) but you have my sympathy, sounds bloody horrible.

lol at that pic pol!

a firm no my arse :) Last night was comedy in our house between the hours of 11 and 8am. I got up to wee approx 3 times each time lifting my sleeping puppy off the bed and back in his bed. It was musical beds with me and Mr Moo taking turns to get him back to bed. I had a brainwave though (which has only taken me 2 months to have ) GET LONGER BED LEGS!!! Ha ha like to see the little hairy fucker jump up now! I am on the case.

I'd like to add to the bleeding injuries. My mouth looked like it was haemorraghing this morning as I brushed my teeth. Disgusting, need to go to hygienist. They don't include that on the frigging NHS though do they?? Swapped my usual private dentiste for an NHS version the other week when I chipped my back tooth. He looked like he was from transylvania and couldn't tell the difference between tooth and filling. I refused to let him do anything and literally ran. Apparently they give dental licenses out to any fucker now.

Cossie our dog also practically wets himself with excitement when we get any baby toys out. A lifetime of fun awaits. I can see him sitting on the baby whilst chewing the baby gym toys. The dog trainer is coming on Friday 13th. I kid ye not.

Ski my friend looked mega frazzled. He must have been a bit of a mare cos he literally flopped into a dead dog pose and started snoring the minute he got in the door. Ooops. I suspect I might have to pay someone next time.

Pol that is brilliant. At least baby not in it. Funnily enough I was thinking of abandoning moses basket and just having bugaboo bassinet on the floor downstairs. Not now funnily enough.

Honey how about a dog crate? I'd lock the bugger in over night! Pol loves hers - I have tried to get rid and substitute with a more traditional dog bed, but she gets v upset and just eats them, so crate it is.

He hates his. It nearly killed me trying to train him to stay in it all night. 3 weeks of trying to sleep through continuous barking and pooing in it. Nightmare and not recommended. At the moment it is sitting outside our room and I'm tempted to maybe see how he is sleeping in it overnight but obviously a lot closer to us. That would be the ideal, but in many ways I don't really mind him on the floor. At least he won't whine etc. It's just getting on the bed that I object to when baby comes.

Love the dog in the bug pic! Speaking on pets sitting in the most unusual places I have the opposite, I am constantly shouting at my son "don't sit on the cat", "don't kick the cat", "don't pull his tail" etc etc. Does he get the message cat is not a toy - er no. Cats (I have 2) are very tolerant however despite the hard time they get.

Ha ha! At least cats are clean and don't lick bottoms etc. My mum is on FB. She seems to have become 6 years younger overnight according to her DOB.

Oh, my cats certainly lick their bums.

I am back! And I'm just so tanned and with that pregnant lady glow! (or at least so I will claim here on the anonymous internet). Actually my habitual freckly pallor is still in place, but I did have a lovely time. And see: I have brought you delicious Rioja from Rioja, despite a frankly unreasonable luggage allowance. Because I missed you!!! Mwah mwah mwah.

I have enjoyed my mammoth thread catch up and the classic cake-carrying thread too. You know I once carried a cake. True Story. I was ok though. Just.

Poor piley vag - I hope things have improved on the buttular front. I have been warned of the terrors of piles. I believe they're terrible, so much sympathy! But I actually wanted to tell you what I got for my little godson as a christening gift: a gift voucher to go and get those little hand and footprints done in clay - that you can frame and keep. They are very cute and make a very nice keepsake. Bet you could order online too.

I have been quietly combusting with envy at tales of silver and her surprise baby shower. I won't have one. They don't do that here. Grump grump. Practically everyone does baby lists though (like wedding lists) sent out with the baby card. Not sure how I feel about this. Seems a bit grasping to me -what do you guys think?

muse nose I had my first nosebleed ever in the early months of pregnancy - I was totally bemused by it. It has been a once-off - but all normal apparently.

Well, I had a doc's appt this morning and was expecting a scan and boyfy came along. Turned out they got they time wrong, so we were cooling our heels for an hour... and then in the end the doctor just weighed me, took my bp and listened to the heartbeat for about 5 seconds. And that was that. Fabulous! I am 26 weeks though - I had sort of lost track.

polly - love the pic as well. It does make you look a bit like one of those mad ladies that dresses her cat in a babygro though. No really, your baby is lovely! Really cute. Embrace the craziness!

cos - countdown!!! yay.

welcome back swits, shame about lack of scan.

VAG sorry about the farmers, can't help as haven't suffered myself but I hope you get some relief soon.

honey your bed description sounds like ours, only ours is 2 cats not a dog. I don't quite know how 2 cats can take up so much room on a bed!!

Daisy Berkeley won Gatcombe and she's diffed. Won't somebody think of the children? I wonder if she dared eat a mushroom risotto afterwards?

switty Gather your expat friends for a shower? Baby gifts after are stoopid really. "Oooh a baby bath, cheers, always handy to have 2."
