The PESH Deli - Going MAD for Hallowe'en.

[Scorpette]

Tales from the dark side, from a coven of evil hags obsessed with ghoulies. Hellish talk of FJ and puke will chill you to the marrow. Unspeakable horrors from our uterine crypts do creep - but thankfully, we're also having baybees...

So come on in and leave your broomsticks and pointy hats by the door!

oh and muse thought I had figured out who you were on the 'other place' and this name conversation has confirmed it :o

MW was otherwise nice and obviously very good at her job, so I wasn't too weirded out. I cracked a few jokes and thanked her lots and she seemed to like me well enough.

I would defo ring someone about getting the 12 week scan - I saw MW at 8+5 and I've still been given a scan date of 13+2, so there are issues with being fitted in. You don't have to have the nuchal fold test and all that if you don't want to, but if you do, they have to do it between 11 wks and 13+6.

PS TYF also loves F1/Grand Prix. He hates all other sport and lets me choose whatever tv we watch, so although I mutter darkly about it being v un-eco friendly, etc., I let him enjoy it.

rocket call your mw to discuss. The later you leave it there is more chance of things being left too late.

Righty-o I am off to out for posh coffee. My mat top that I have on no longer fits completely over my bump. I do have another layer underneath to cover exposed flesh. Was going to get changed but frankly I can't be arsed.

HI has walked K9 so all i have to do if I want is to tidy the kitchen. Resembles stig of the dumps place.

rocket NF tests can be done between 9 and 14 weeks. Do you need to do the test though? It's a personal decision for everybody of course - but no point wasting energy about the dates of tests which carry no gravity for you for example.

God I am so bored. Someone entertain me.

Wahey I've gone into labour!!

Only joking.

I'm so bored of eating.

That actually made me gasp honey! Thanks for that...!!

You big tease moo.

I appear to be turning into a lizard. Dry skin everywhere, including a large patch on my scalp. I am not impressed.

Moo ha ha ha ha. Keep up with the pelvic floor exercises now won't you...

Friend has just been round to deliver last night's birthday cake (we left at 2330 as I am wuss) and I just ate it in about 8 seconds. Hairy moo was running around with her little girl who is one and being very cute. He just wanted to lick her and follow her everywhere, despite her commandeering his toys. She then came and patted my bump and said hello the baby. I feel all gooey now.

Xfactor in 42 minutes chaps. I'm warming up to Matt I think. I do like a man who can wield a bit of musical playing wood.

muse I got that too. I got the itchiest shins (gross) that kept bleeding as I wouldn't stop itching. Anyhow if you get some oil and slick up, soonest mended.

Mama Mio oil I bought has lasted the entire pregnancy and is lovely. I've used it with the same brand belly butter on my bump and hey presto no stretchies yet... (and I am measuring 4 weeks ahead of gestational dates! ) but am fully anticipating a machine gun style appearance in the next week. I read somewhere that you get them everyday you are overdue. mother nature is a bitch sometimes.

I'm entertaining myself by watching a semi-nekkid Djimon Hounsou in Four Feathers on BBC2. Not a very good film, but it's Djimon!

Wait, 'entertaining myself' sounds a bit wrong, doesn't it... [hblush]

I have just ordered some Liz Earle shampoo and conditioner to help with the scalp. Going to get some bath oil as my daily bubble baths probably aren't helping. And must start using my body butter daily.

I thought pregnancy was meant to be all glowing and looking wonderful? So far it's puking, farting and lizard skin.

Yeah, Mr Moo has psorasis (particularly in Winter) and hot baths are a bit no no for itchy, dry skin I understand. Olatium from Boots v good for that.

And wait you've left off wetting yourself a teeny tiny bit everytime you go as well. That is the fucking worst. Must start doing pelvic floor exercises... haven't done 1 in my whole mat leave. Shite.

Don't talk to me a about lizardness - my hands and feet are horrid. It's like the bump is drawing all the goodness from my extremities (sp?).

XFactor opening and they are all bloody miming!!!!

Now where the shiz is my baybee???? So bored and so fat and so stretch marky.

Result - only two texts today asking if any news yet!

I am already on major gusset watch as some days I can't decide whether it's discharge or if my pelvic floor has died. Attractive. Shexy.

I've turned into a flaky bake too. And I don't even want to think about my complexion - spotty, bumpy, dry and wrinkly! [hsad]

I've heard v good things about the Mama Mio stuff, Moo - am glad it's helping you. Hope the stretchies stay away for the rest of your confinement [Victorian Matron emoticon] Am going to start using that when I start getting a bit of a bump. I'm crap at bothering to grease up my body (I try to avoid viewing the disappointment that is my corporeal self). I have v bad stretchmarks over most of my body from a massive growth spurt in my teens, but my belly is smooth and lovely - just about the only part of my body that I like the look of. HMMMPH...

I am also usually crap at body moisturisation... but have been motivated by fear mainly. EVeryone says is shit though and nuffink to do with creams.

(by the way, yes I do follow AA scorps!!! FB doesn't do retweets and was too good to ignore!)

Who reckons Chezza's performance is going to be a winner then ?

First time I rubbed Palmers Cocoa Butter in every day, twice a day. I got one little stretch mark on each hip at about a week overdue. This time round I did bugger all and got none. Some people get them, some people don't.

Another marketing ploy re: stretch marks. Depends on your skin type and it's elasticity and all that kind of stuff. Bit like some people get spots, some don't.

I got ALOT of spots from age 14 until 20 so I deserve some luck...

I am spot free which is why I have clearly been cursed with stretch marks.

Oh I love that Palmers stuff, kind of want to eat it tho. I am thinking I'm just going to stick to Lush Dream Cream. Almost got sucked in by Bio OIl until TB found something about mineral oil being really nasty and just like wrapping yourself in cling film. Like you say box I reckon its just down to your skin. I've already got em radiating from my nips and on my hips from weight fluctuation so my belly will probably look like a deflated party balloon post labour.

Urgh cocoa butter makes me want to BARF! Sorreeeee. Had some other stuff which pre preggers I liked so much I bought the hand wash/cream/body stuff etc etc. Promptly went off the smell as soon I got diffed. Couldn't even look at it in the cabinet so gave it to my mum. Harrumph.

Like anything related to pregnancy or weddings the cost of things sky rockets hence a lot of these creams are tres pricey.
