Hello to Catherine too!
I know what you mean about the lack of energy, sunny!
Aw thanks tinker. Had a lovely afternoon. Brother arrived and we headed down to the lottie for an hour in the SUN! and did a bit of much needed weeding whilst chatting to the old blokes and accepting gifts of surplus veggies 
What's Entourage? Sounds like a French crime drama I may have missed?!
Think I'm going to sleep really well tonight after DH, visiting brother and I cycled a 10-mile round trip up the river to a pub and back tonight. I got away very well with my excuse when brother asked 'Wot no cider?!'
loving the classy stuffing-veg-pasty-in-mouth-whilst-walking, tiddley! I always feel a bit like that when I have the odd packet of crisps / iced finger on the way home from the Coop. And then another. 
Think that's terrible that you won't have broadband till end of august! you may be able to do something temporary, though it might cost a bit? We can't lose you at such a crucial time! Glad your dad is feeling chipper - amazing man, given surgery and chemo in quick succession!
glad you had a good booking in appt, flowery and how nice that you'll be seeing the same midwife. I can't imagine seeing a different person each time! tricky not to agree about the tests. me and DH roughly on the same page but he just wants to do 'what's recommended medically' when actually it's a big decision whether or not to test in the first place. I personally want all the tests going. But when 'researching' this I made the mistake of reading some of the MN discussions about not great things diagnosed at the 20-week scan and the heartbreaking decisions people are having to face right now. I really hope none of us have to go down that avenue.
I'm really spotty too, kirsty, rose, shield, Catherine and lexi!
Happy hols tedmundo
Oh dear, kkforever, what a nob of a team manager you have there! Bad timing?! Grrr?..
