Shagged Out Viroids Volume 4. Over here!!

[nickelbabe]

ooops, got a bit carried away there.....

sign in everyone!
let's hope we get some new graduates on here too!

might be nice, but they want to see DH! (which makes me laugh, because I'm sure that they would have timed it differently if i had been with Ex....) Dad's complaining now about the pain in his neck - not a pain but a niggling uncomfortable iyswim? He daren't take painkillers because of the drug cocktail they've put him on. They are probably comign the week after, which means they'll have to come to my Belly Dance show!

Morning everyone.

Glad your Dad is doing well nickel. It must feel pretty uncomfortable though! I suppose it must be very hard not to move your neck around, and be aware of it all the time. Glad they will be visiting you soon though, and your show will be something to look forward to!

Thanks for all your encouragement about the smoking ladies! I'm still struggling, and finding it hard just to be brave enough to make that big leap into finally stopping. I know I will get there though eventually.

So windy here today, and the cat's going a bit mad as it's howling around the flat. It's supposed to get worse by teatime too, so I'm a bit worried that DP won't get home from work, as they sometimes have to cancel trains going over the Forth Bridge if it's too windy. I hate being apart, but at least he can stay at his mum's if he gets stranded. He even packed some spare pants this morning, just in case!!

it doesn't matter if you're struggling, as long as you're trying :)

I am trying nickel, I think I just give in far too easily. I tell myself that I am going to make a huge effort in the morning, and then when morning comes I find it so hard that I give in. Gar! I will do it. I will do it. I will do it.

yahey!
Finally got my MW appointment this morning (what with having turned up on wrong day, HB taking them all away etc!)
It was blood-letting time, this one. MW was quite surprised that I watched her put the needle in and take the blood (explained that I'm a blood donor, and that their needles are loads bigger than that! )
BP 110/60, so normal.
fundal height (is that what it is? ) 29cm. I think I've forgotten!
and I weighed myself again - now 70.5kg, which it was 68.5kg before, i think, so i've put on 4lbs since my last appt. that was the 16th august.
so that's 4 weeks. ooh, that's juist about right, isn't it
I thought it was more than 4lbs.
used this to work it out

oh, and i was pouring out into my glass this morning, thinking "ooh, the opening's tight, have to be careful not to drop any"
then realised that I was actually pouring Weetos into my glass.........

Keep it up BamBam! In the words of tesco Every little helps!

Glad your dads getting better nickel.

thanks :)

oh, i forgot to mention, that the baby was upside-down today - MW said "i don't normally say where the baby is, but I can feel the head right there" and then reassured me that wasn't a problem at this stage. I just said "oh, it'll be the other way up this afternoon"
it bloody feels big when it turns upside down!

How many weeks are you now Nickel? Glad your app went well

I'm 29 weeks now (29+4)

and I've been fully welcomed into the 3rd trimester, because I had the worst indigestion through the night!
I couldn't settle, I thoughti t was cos the bump was too heavy, so I got a pillow under it, but that didn't help at all. So I got up to try to go to the toilet, nope.
then I turned over, then I propped up my pillows, then I got another pillow and tried to sleep sitting up. Nothing worked! I had 2 indi tablets, whic hdidn't work, so I tried a drink, I tried walking round a bit. I thought I was going to vomit at one point! I eventually dropped off, with jsut my normal pillow height, so it must have stopped eventually, but it was agony - like my entire stomach had swollen to the size of Violet Beauregarde and I was going to burst open!

Oh ow Nickel. Get the a huge bottle of gaviscon, lovehearts, try peppermint tea and remeber to whinge all you need to us x

thee, not the

I swear by the gaviscon, I can't leave the house without some of the tablets, and I have a big industrial strength bottle of the prescription stuff by the bed and slurp at will

3 weeks left at work and counting, hurrah! 4.5 weeks till d-day, gulp, getting a bit close now, though I am looking forward to getting my ribs back...

How are things chez the confessions household?

You can get gaviscon for free from boots minor ailments. Saves going to the docs for a prescription. Can also get infacol if needed when wee one arrives.

I second the love hearts

I'll try boots when I remember - I actually ended up getting a stock pack of Rennies from one of my wholesalers - it worked out cheaper than paying assistant to work and the petrol and hassle it would have cost to get to the docs' - free prescription not much use when it costs you more to get the prescription than just buying the meds! But I will try the Boots thing. (good advice)

Until then, I'd been okay with just chewing on one tablet, or swigging some lemonade. that was definitely stepping up!

Eeek, step away from the lemonade... and avoid things like orange juice too... far too acidic! How are things in the shop at the moment?

Yeah, fruit juice killed me. Just had to see greasy food and I would get it bad. I found the eating little and often thing helped. When I was eating I didn't really have it, so just kept munching!

nooooooooooo!
acidic foods are good for absorbing calcium in the bones - especially important now Isbn is leaching as much as it can

I do put it down to having a slice of fruit pie and custard at about 1/4 to 10 (DH was at the football, and I'd been shopping for reduced food, the pie cost me 12p!)
In contrast, I had hardly anything to eat yesterday, we had cheese on crumpets for tea (about 7o'clock?), and nothing after that. very odd for us!

Shop's good at the moment.
some customers already, which is good, and got lots of work to do.
must sort out a lesson plan for DH and the junior choir today... (we might have a new member)

That's as maybe, but the price is killer heartburn! I'm fine with other stuff, like apple/pear juice though, it's just the orange juice that gets me. Will be so nice to wave the dreaded reflux goodbye in a few weeks time have had it for the last 3-4 months, not nice.

Glad things have picked up a bit in the shop, that's good news!

well, it appears the main thing so far is eating too late at night.
I'm willing to pay the price

i've signed up to Gransnet because they're talkign about the churching of women. I've been waiting ages for my confirmation to be emailed to me.... maybe grans don't worry about long waits?

Genius thread about toddler AIBU today... you must read it

I have read some of it!
all the toddlers seem NBU to me

we need some new members.

having loads of movements where the bump goes hard and moves.
funny, cos i got an update from bounty about BH cx, and they described them as wheer your bump goes hard for a bit.

i don't think it's that - it's certainly not where I'd expect it to be - cos it's up at the right hand side of my abdomen, right under where my waist used to be.
I'm fairly certain it's just Isbn headbutting me.
