Bitey how is it even possible to flush a disposable? Might as well try and stuff a mattress down there.

Our local nappy guru - www.clothnappymum.co.uk - does a hire scheme, where you can try as many different reusables as you like before you actually buy a set. And she sells second-hand stuff too. There's probably an equally enterprising mum in your area who would offer similar.

I have been promised a second hand set from a friend, and have no qualms about used nappies whatsoever. But then I am a skank

Me either. The whole point for me is environmental so using second hand ones is a double win.
That nappy lady website is pretty informative!!

Did you just watch the video with the nappy and the teddy bear rocket? Did you cry?

Hello gin how is the snuggling going? I think they were just determined to start as they meant to go on in raising the most anti-social family around! I admire their dedication in a way!

No snuggling here Bitey - tis other Gin. I am just getting internal roundhouse kicks all day long. This child doesn't do sleep apparently.

It's good of your neighbours to advertise their social policy so clearly, so you didn't accidentally befriend them or anything. V thoughtful really.

Think you have your gins mixed up there bitey (baby brain!) and no it didn't make me cry you big goose :o

I'm sorry! Brain has turned into scrambled egg!

We shared a wall with them but they moved out suddenly in mid October. Possible a coincindence but won ma baybee the following weekend

Made me cry rocket well it did until she dumped littlted unceremoniously on the floor!

I repeat "you big goose" :o

i am being shockingly lazy today. I have managed to put a wash on and unpack my case from last week (but only because I felt guilty that TB stubbed his toe on it in the night) I am now back in bed with the laptop contemplating whether I can be bothered to go and watch Northanger Abbey or not. Still got a bit of a sore throat tho so that my excuse.

Good to hear of the nice strong kicking foxy tis reassuring isnt it? specially at 4 am in the morning :o

Mmmmm, scrambled egg. Thanks for mentioning that Bitey.

My line manager is a nob-jockey. That is all.

Tis far too dull to go into, but lets just say I've thrown a hissy fit & threatened to go on mat leave RIGHT NOW so that he has to get his head out from his arse & actually DO SOMETHING!

Ooooh Lulu did "angry pregnant woman"! Sounds spectacular! I'm saving my rage for the end of the month when I predict that payroll still won't have sorted out my payrise - been waiting since October. I plan to camp out in their office, alternate shouting and hysterical snot-flying and sobbing. It can't fail!

I had a goodly rage this morning in the car after getting cut up by a boy racer. I actually behaved so badly that he pulled into a bus stop and waited for me go past before pulling back into the traffic a few cars behind me. Am thoroughly ashamed of myself now that I didn't slash his tyres

Must try not to be so am going to have such a raging baybee at this rate!

I have decided to have an omlette for tea, it is practically a national dish now after Gavin and Stacey is it not?

The MW just rang me, asking why I'd not turned up for my appointment this avo. I replied that this was because the date is the 8th in my notes. She then told me I was wrong and maybe I'd got a 1 mixed up with an 8 (I politely pointed out that I hadn't). So am being squeezed in on Thursday - next week is too late for some reason. WHY can nobody in the medical profession ever admit to mistakes?! It's not like it's that big a deal!

Grrrr to your line-twatface, Loz. Do you get special dispensation on Day to headbutt him?

GG, we've decided not to move now until after The Lad is here. It's a lorra lorra change, stress and upheaval plus my crappy health and we think it'd be a bad idea. When baby's a few months old, we'll be naturally outgrowing this place (feel v attached to it still at the mo), will (hopefully) be in a routine, The Lad will still be super-portable and I'll be feeling a lot better, so it makes sense. Plus, we live near my folks here, so will be better when I'm huuuge and when baby arrives.

Trouble is, our bedroom gets insanely hot in the summer and we only have balcony doors to open and then it's traffic noise all night long. Ooooh, get me - presuming we'll be getting some sleep!

Can't blame you, Score. I moved when 7 months with MiniG and was a bit horrendous. That must be why we're planning to do same again if we can sell the house . But we may run out of time there since not even on market and need to have some building work done out back to make it respectable. Which might actually be quite nice to be able to stay put for a bit. I do love my little house, it's just a bit too small and everything keeps bloody breaking - would be ok for a bit though as baybee in with us I guess.

Maybe you can buy one of those portable aircon units, Score? Or just make yo man fan you down for hours?

Evening all! It's the Quinny we went for Gaga.

So, we now have a working pram, a new speaker system for the telly, 2 loaves of gingercake (technically 1.5 now) and 3 fish pies in the freezer. I also have a bang-on sized belly, and a baby who is 1/5 in my pelvis. Good day.

Loaves and fishes Medee? How namy visitors are you expecting? :o

I'd buy a lottery ticket tomorrow if I were you, Medee :) Yay for you - I love it when a plan comes together [A-Team]

GG, we'll be buying some sort of aircon/fan wotsit, fo sho. I hope your stuff stops breaking down soon!

Visitors was rubbish. Would have been funnier if I'd said baybees.

How's you Scorps my fellow night owl ?

Not too bad, actually, Boo. How's about your good self?

I'm grand ta :o. Awaiting the pesky tin wotsit. Running a late bath. Mooching about on MN when I should be asleep.

Have fallen down the stairs. Ok I think, just slipped down the last 5 or 6 steps and landed heavily oon my bum. I should be ok though, right as huge preggo bum will protect me? Bit shaken up though and been in floods of tears thinking have done something to the baybee. Of all things slipped on a f*cking pregnancy book which I left on the bloody stairs when ran out of hands carting MiniG an various paraphernalia upstairs for bath. Of course MrG will have walked past said book about 15 times this evening and not moved it . But I left it there so my fault.

Got scan on Friday so prob ok to wait til then? Picked up heartbeat on doppler so presume Dr/midwife wouldn't do any more than that anyway?

Sorry for the mememe.

Sounds like all is good, Medee in organisation world. And cake sounds lush - could do with a piece now. With my soothing chamomile and mint tea.

yikes lady how you feeling today? Sorry no one was about last night to give you sympathy!. hope you are feeling better this monrning? I am sure everything will be ok especially as you have heard the heart beating awdy but if you need reassurance then no reason to wait until Friday. Ring your MW, its what she's there for.

In my news I am still full of cold, worse if anything and the cat has just done a massive hurl On the bedroom carpet. :( TB has cleared it up before dashing off to work but I had to get up and put some stain remover on it to get rid of the biscuity smell. Cat is being a royal PITA this week.

You poor thing lady falling down the stairs is a shocker at the best of the times. All the advice says how well your baybee is protected but if you are not happy ring the MW, sprocket is quite right. Lots of sympathy and cuddles from this end.

sprocket I woke up this morning to find cat snuggled between the mega norks with his tummy on mine was lovely in a furry way. Then I realised it was half past fucking five! How does he get in??

Lady you poor thing! How are you feeling this morning? Shakes you to your core falling over, doesn't it? Echo other advice - ANY concerns contact MW today. But I'm sure baybee will be just fine. Take it easy today.

Meds Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Very organised & just lovely.

Rocket think I've got your cold! Thanks for that . So far its just snot - headache hasn't appeared. So lots of hot wateer, lemon & honey and whiskey today.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with Differs Rage. To be fair, I've (& everyone around me) has escaped quite lightly so far. My mum told me off for not telling line manager my blood pressure is borderline & he's sending me over the edge. This is a total lie, of course, my BP has been just fine. Mum says I'll learn

Anyway, hope everyone has a good day & manages to stay upright

I hope not lozzer cos in a bout two days time you will feel like you have been punched in the face several times :(

Rofl at your mum . Genius!!

Thanks Ladieeez. Think am ok, arm/shoulder seems a bit stiff where banged it on way down but otherwise ok I hope. Silly moo. Poor MrG charged out of bed at a million miles an hour to come and rescue me, bless him. Will call midwife if I get anxious but think prob no point as scan on Friday.

Hope those colds get better, Loz and Rocket - here have this hot toddy with plenty of whisky in.

Fecking cats and their vomiting ways. When MiniG was crawling I lived in terror of him discovering a freshly vommed pile of cat sick on the carpet. Why can't they do it in the toilet like civilised creatures?!
