Ok, apologies before hand if I forget names but on phone and very late ( or probably early in my case at the mo!!) so....
purple really sorry to hear about your dhs job-what crap timing
I would have also suggested the mortgage freeze if necessary and don't be proud-if you have a rich mad uncle I'm sure he would want to help you out 
Laura well I would be telling them to stuff it if they are being that way out-depends how much you need the money but generally the job sounds a doddle but not sure it would be so with raging morning sickness!
itwasthepenguins love the name! Congratulations, what a lovely honeymoon gift 
Ok, this is where I've forgotten names
but cramping in early pregnancy is normal, think most of us have experienced it but if it's accompanied by bleeding then see the gp.
Things to do with toddlers-the corn flour suggestion is great, loved that game when I used to childmind. Painting pasta shells, then gluing them onto paper, build a den (then you sleep unit whilst they show their teddies a new home, not that I did this childminding I might add-but did with ds
) or if all else fails DVD 
Waves to everyone else!
Am awake at stupid o clock again, despite feeling sick and boobs hurting I poas this morning as symptoms come and go throughout the day. It was actually an opk but I read it still shows up like a hpt and yes, immediate very dark line - never even got that with ovulation so they clearly do work-I have about 5 left and so feel safe in the knowledge I don't have to give up my poas habit just yet!! Had a shitty day at work, a colleagues cat is in a pretty bad way, an emergency dog attack came in last minute and to top it off I have woken with a start as I forgot to send the daily order of drugs so my name will be mud tomorrow at work
thank god it's my day off
