well I'm back from having my eyelashes done. It's really odd how they perm them but the result is really spectacular - no mascara for me for the next 6 weeks Just think - all those piccie of me and new baby. I'll have no makeup on but at least it will look like I've put on mascara - I'd higly recommend having it done ladies

DQ - I really hope the reason you haven't posted today has nothing to do with me. I didn't mean to upset or offend you - please forgive me!

Jaysfirst · 27/10/2005 18:56

i tint my eyelashes when i can be bothered. I am a qualified Beauty Therapist so have all the kit here. Never had them permed though, it gives them a lift i believe? Am due a leg and bikini wax and also a hair cut bfore the baby gets here... its true you need to look the best ou can so as to feel good about yrself! Maybe i might try and squeexe in a massage and pedicure too!!!!

george32 · 27/10/2005 19:06

Love the spider cakes Jay

I have never heard of permed eyelashes before. I'm a bit of a tomboy at heart so I've never grasped all these things.
I think it sounds a great idea before you give birth though.
I might have to find somewhere nearby & go & treat myself.

ladies
dh had a car accident on the way home tonight. hes okay but omg, you should see his car. he was travelling along about 40mph, and someone pulled out from a layby without looking and hit the back/side of his car, which sent him spinning across the traffic(!) into the air, -somehow it didnt flip-, and thro a group of trees.for several feet. how he missed the trees i dont know. the pictures of the scene are horrible and his car is so bad, I cried when i saw it. hes gone to be checked over at the hospital now, as hes hurting in his hips etc.
i have had one long braxton hicks since his phone call
i dont know how he survived that in one piece but he did. thank god.

george32 · 27/10/2005 19:48

I'm so glad that he is OK DQ. What a terrible experience for him and a terrible shock for you.

I hope he comes away from hospital with the all clear.

Jaysfirst · 27/10/2005 19:54

Shite, DQ sorry to hear that, its awful when something like that happens, alasy makes you think of the worst. But kep your cool, he sounds like hes going to be ok, and the car, well the cars a car and it wasnt his fault so more than anyhting its a bloody inconvenience..... Be positive and stong it will all turn out ok in the end!

sweetheart · 27/10/2005 20:17

Try and keep calm - and just keep remembering that dh is safe and well.

Jay have a good nct party...am jealous..feel like ive been cooped up for ages..but then we havent been anywhere since sunday..lol

Well I am now in pain as I have just cut the grass for winter and it was a hard task as i have not done it for about 6wks. DH kept saying he would but never got around to it...he is currently stripping the dining room which is a nightmare as we have a through living/dining room. So been trying to keep adam busy in the garden. Need to go and make some lunch.
Take care

Hi Ladies,

Glad to hear that your DH is OK DQ as the saying goes worse things happen at sea.....not sure what maybe I will have to go to sea one day to find out.

Good luck at the party Jay I'm sure your spider cakes will go down a treat they looked great from your piccy. I'm hoping to attempt a pumpkin tomorrow so I sgall put a pic of the disaster on our photo page also my brother said he will take mine and DH's pic this weekend so I shall hopefully have that added as well.

It is now official I will not be having my baby till after Christmas, I tempted fate a little bit too much yesterday by buying the cutest santa outfit ever for him, so yes expect me to go well over due. I just couldn't help myself.

dramaqueen72 · 28/10/2005 13:57

hope you get some rest minnie! LOL flutter, i also have v cute red babygrown with cute long santa type hat that could also mean i dont meet this guy til boxing day!!LOL

ninah · 28/10/2005 16:06

glad all is well dq or as well as can be! take care and have a relaxing weekend
sh i think what happened to you re engaging is happening to me as colleague also commented bump dropped a lot and I'm getting a real feeling of pressure around the pelvis, tho it can be like this for a while I understand .. don't think I'll make it til Xmax!

george32 · 28/10/2005 16:09

DQ, glad to hear that your DH is OK. Must be a huge relief for you.

I've been out shopping all day with my sis who I haven't seen in ages. Had a lovely time and managed to get a bit of a bargain Tommee Tippee steam sterilizer. On offer for £20 (from £40) in Boots last week but they forgot to take the ticket off for this week so they honoured it for me plus gave me a £5 No 7 voucher & triple points - Result!

I looked at the Christmas clothes in M&Ps, they are so gorgeous. Very cute but I've played it safe & not bought any - does that mean my little bundle will be here for Christmas day then?

Decided I love any hats or hoods or bootees with ears - does that make me crazy!!

sweetheart · 28/10/2005 16:14

DQ - really pleased to hear that your dh is feeling OK. I know what a shock these things can be - dh and I were in a serious crash with some friends a few years ago. When the car was recovered it made a horrific sight! It makes you relise how lucky you were.

ninah, yes sounds like head either moving down or engaging. I was in quite alot of pain in the pubic area for about 2 days when it happened to me. I found it very diffeicult to get comfortable.

george - great Boots bargains. I got loads of points the other day coz I brought loads of 3 for 2 smellies as prezzies. I love a good bargain

ninah · 28/10/2005 16:46

rightyho that's it then
Ds head didn't engage til the last minute and he was late, so I guess this one is on time or .... early ....
have a lovely weekend all x

sweetheart · 28/10/2005 16:51

thats what I was hoping ninah - but apparently just because the head is engaged early it doesn't mean the baby will come early. My mw took great pleasure in telling me that when my eyes lit up at the prospect of an early arrival!

Jaysfirst · 28/10/2005 18:46

hey ladies, back and still in one piece from the NCT party...my goodness how many kiddies!!!! How much noise!!!!! how much crying !!!! how sweet they all looked dressed up!! The cakes went down a storm, was a bit strange going in there not knowing anyone, but my line was ' i dont have a baby yet but i do bring cakes...' lol it was well recieved. Met a few Mums, one who was with her DD of 6weeks..so sweet and edible! i even managed a little hold, everyone was so nice!
Nice to see some more pics up on the site from different months, pleased that people are using it! Still plenty of you that could post something!!!
Seems abit quite on here, not as many posts as the past coiple of days, is everyone ok?
Right then off to make some chilli and rice for dinner! Laters xx

ei23monster · 28/10/2005 19:36
