tee hee Tabs your evil! but I like it
Would love to pay self all that money! but really can't afford to do it! never mind eh! small business' for you! (or should that be minute!)

I am just thinking forward to when I am made redundant..DH is on (what I thought) was a really low wage so when I am not earning our income is cut by 3 quarters...thought I might see if there is anything worth sponging...hee hee, never done that in my life. I am off to a Franchise show in a couple of weeks to see if there is any interesting business possibilities in the making.

I am not a milk drinker but I have drank my fare share of Nesquick (strawberry) over the last 4 months. Also, I don't eat mcdonalds but have gone there for a milkshake and lost my rag when they don't have any....not sure if it is a craving though!

Tits are HUGE!!!

Oh...if any of you are after an electric steriliser...Tesco have the Tomee Tipee 8 minute cycle one on half price....£20 instead of £40. I picked on up today!!

Awww - he sounds like such a charmer - you must be so sorry not to be with him anymore .

It seems that its your exdp that thinks this is all a joke to me - good riddance I say!

My boobs haven't grown (am already pretty big at E cup anyway) but my nipples appear to be taking over!

I yelled at a poor girl on a Burger King drive thru window the other day . I had queued for ages (they were taking orders as and when they could be bothered), got there, ordered my desperately needed milkshake, only to be told "We're not doing shakes anymore!" There were some rude words, something about them needing to take it off the f-in menu, and then the sound of screeching tyres as I pulled away.

I rarely swear, and certainly not abuse at poor BK employees . Messin with a tired pregnant woman craving milkshake is not a good plan!

Boobs... mine are pretty huge normally (34f), but I seem to be 36E in maternity bras - most odd. They seem about the same size (if I wear normal bra), but much more firm. Gunky nipples, and keep feeling like I'm letting down, so assuming I'll be in breast pads before too long

Amanda - was wondering how the plimsoll hunt went... Now I know! He does seem like a star of a bloke.

Amanda I can't help but PMSL...he has a way with the English language doesn't he. Sorry but why does he think you have ** his life...is it not you having this baby and going to bring it up on your own...blimey, anyone would think you where asking him to carry it and give birth through his over active toodle!!

Glad to see you are not getting yourself upset though!!

Message withdrawn

Oh Amanda..tell him to get a grip...if his new relationship is that fragile then it isn't the right relationship to be in! People put up with far tougher things to stay together...how pathetic! You really are well shut of him, he clearly has no perspective on life at all!!!

Amanda, your xp is an idiot. I wouldn't bother communicating with him again. Let your solicitor and the CSA do it for you!!!

Amanda, nothing is your fault here and you need to be confident in the things you have managed to beat this last couple of years. I mean we don't really know you at all but you have had cancer, brought up a child, managed a crap relationship and taken the decision to raise a second child on your own....none of those decisions have been easy to make and many people would have given up long before you.

I believe in fate and I think that the idiot was here to give you another child perhaps or even make you a stronger person...not rob you of all your confidence!! I hope the confidence thing is a temporary thing...nobody has the right to make you cry but you....

No Amanda - don't go blaming yourself. After I split up with a 'significant' ex many years ago, friends said that I never really regained my 'sparkle'. Don't let him do the same to you!

You must be a lovely person - afterall, you already have another guy sounding very interested!

Just a quickie - does anyone else who's feeling movement find that they can go for long stretches without feeling anything? I tend not to feel anything some mornings, so get really paranoid that something bad has happened. I know that's really stupid, but just can't help it. Might go and have a play with my doppler now as I've not felt anything today.

Tabs, I'll put your mind at rest - was panicking over past couple of days coz felt very little movement and I normally feel a fair bit, nearly rang the midwife and started trawling through the webpages but low and behold, my little one started ferociously kicking last night at the football and has been this am - huge relief! I thought I'd done some damage over the weekend with Yoga and traipsing up and down Meadowhall!

I am going to the babyshow on 23rd Oct and have booked a 4d face scan for £35!!!! So if anyone else wants to have a 3d/4d scan then book tickets and give them a call!!!

Amanda - been following your postings for the past few days, you are soooo much better off without your ex and so is your baby! He is being really selfish and insensitive and you deserve more hon!! Hope things work out (eventually) with this new fella!!!!

It is just a face scan though but still well worth it!!

I love my doppler . Thanks Chloe - glad to hear that it's not just me who only feels things itermittently (and is paranoid ).

That's good 3k, but how on earth do they know which way up baby will be facing - he might end up with a foot scan instead .

Good point tabs!! Well I wont pay for a foot scan. He had better be facing the right way or I'm not going to move until I get my photo!!

Tabs,

My baby is more active during the evening when I am relaxing. This weekend he has started to move more frequently as before I could feel him for a few seconds then nothing for a day or so but he seems to be pelting me a full strength now!! It's an odd feeling but nice that he is ok. Yesterday he was jumping on my cervix as I could feel kicks from down below!! That was a bit uncomfortable but I moved around and he changed position.

My belly is feeling really tight today, I looked in the mirror last night and thought "how an earth am I going to stretch any more"! Is it possible?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
