There you go chick-a-dees

three yeah, basically, i have a spray and also put out actual conkers too. People say it's a load of rubbish, but so far it's worked for us. Willing to try anything! Spray is from Lakeland I think.

Small me me rant:
I've been signed off for a week to rest and recuperate following rubbish morning sick was and ear infection and foolishly checked my emails last night.

1. I have 359 emails in 4 days. Ffs people?! I'm an effing PA?! I don't make decisions I just remind my director to do that
2. One of the emails - the only one I read properly - is from my team mate/assistant letting me know she has handed in her notice and please don't hate me. I don't hate her, she's a wonderful person who is incredibly good at her job. I'm just aware that I'll be doing the work of three people when I go back in Monday (assistant on holiday and have weeks notice). We're already covering for someone else between us.

I shall take it all in my stride.

Rant over. Now, how are we all doing on our craft and knitting and crochet? I managed a diagonal square last night so the beginnings of the blanket for the Lentil

Sun is shining and porridge is cooking. Bring on the day xx

I think I will buy the magazine to get me going on the crochet, I fell asleep on the sofa last night and have just chundered, I am 12 weeks tomorrow, how come I still feel rotten!! grrr. So I might be slow with the crochet / knitting!

thanks for the under the thatch link, winner so far is wendy the railway carriage over looking the beach (dolphins!) in North Wales. See what hubby thinks :)

Spider season is definitely upon us. Whilst I was pottering around last night a GIANT spider sprinted across the landing and into the spare room freaking me right out. Told DP that we would have to leave the landing light on as I can't take the risk of going for nightly pee's and running into a spider with bare feet! Ewww. Managed to find a torch instead so at 3:44 this morning I trotted through the house with me torch spider hunting on the way to the loo! Needless to say that I couldn't get to sleep after that until about half an hour before my alarm went off.

Got a letter from the hospital yesterday and was hoping it would be my NT results but sadly it was just about my blood group (which I know about already as I'm a regular blood donor). So I've now got my blood card but was slightly perplexed as the letter said that as I'm an RH D Negative blood group I would find an enclosed leaflet explaining about some sort of anti D program I am invited in so that I can make an informed decision! They didn't put the flipping leaflet in! I'm also now wondering if they didn't do the NT blood test as the woman I had goin my blood was new and didn't know what she was supposed to be doing! As you can tell, I'm a worrier. Might call the hospital today. We are finally telling our parent ls tomorrow! Hope we get a better reaction then some I you got.

Told someone at work the other day that I'm pregnant (thought it was only fair since she had just shared the news that she was due a few days before me!) and she looked at me for a bit and then declared that I have 'the Pregnant Face'! What the hecky peck is a 'Pregnant Face'?! I asked if she meant sick but she said no! Anyone else know what this is?!

PS - HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE [grin[

Is anyone having bad dreams? Last night I had dreams that I kept getting text messages about all these genetic tests they had done on my baby at it was going to have all these things wrong with it (very puffy cheeks and large eye bags was one) and they kept ending with "do not have sex, your babies will be deformed". God that was awful.

I then had super dirty dreams, these were not so bad :)

I officially hate spiders and hope to god we get off lightly this year, otherwise I will be wetting myself regularly!

Bad dreams no. Seriously weird very vivid dreams - yes. They're keeping MrM amused though.

Sundae I have been having super dirty dreams to last nights was about a work collegue hoping he aint in the office later as it was rather detailed!

emus pregnant face? Absolutely NO idea!!

Called my MW this morning as I'd still not heard from the hospital, she went straight up to obstetrics and shook them into life for me :) I have an appointment in the anti-natal clinic on Thursday, just to discuss the pros and cons and gain consent etc! So surgery is still due to be in the next 4 weeks. At least I'm getting somewhere now :)

emus the pregnancy face thing is what they call the mask of pregnancy. Apparently the pigmentation in your face can chAnge slightly. My neighbour said hers changed permanently when she had her DS!!! I think it's the same as when you get the line on your stomach etc...

Also someone mrntionec about nails yesterday, it's really funny, when I had DD I had a definite ridgey line appeared on all my nails. and then all my hair started coming out in clumps! it's a funny old time is pregnancy!!!

ethel does that explain the random dark pigmented patches I'm finding on my face. Almost looks like sun damage??

New thread ladies in same place on becoming a parent, ante natal clubs using Tiddley's title but I can't link it as on phone

March 2012 Mk V: Lumpy bumpy witty knitters (patiently) await the bloom!

Enjoy your Fridays

Yeah I would imagine that's exactly it!!

Bu*r!!!!! How do I change the title!!!! I put 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am giving up and hiding in shame: if someone one a computer wants to do it properly then just put an abandonment post on my erroneous one sorry

Doodle my emails are the same, dread it if I am off! Taught myself to make an extremely lumpy granny square last night. All progress I guess! Can't wait to start the blanket.

sundae I've been having awful dreams, nightmares and lots of hospital/bad baby news. Think it is because I am sleeping so lightly!

Am a bit concerned as suddenly I seem to have a real bump. 15 weeks tomorrow and people keep telling me they lost weight in the first trimester and didn't show until week 20 with their first! I genuinely haven't gained weight elsewhere (legs and arms and face) so I hope it is baby not podge. Feel a bit embarrased

Went for a 5K walk last night and tired today - must admit I am counting hours at work!

Right, off to find new thread :)

TeaOperated - I thought that might be it. Next time lie lol they don't really need to know when your LMP was so if you have a long cycle, shorten it to fit

Emus there is something that changes about the face, I'm not sure what but I've had a few people (usually in the hospital too) comment that I've lost my baby face when I've been in the postnatal ward.

I'm getting vivid dreams that keep me awake (if that makes sense lol) not so much bad dreams and I can't even remember afterwards what they were about.

After I've had a baby I get a mark on my nails at the base which is strange to watch grow out. My hair falls out badly after they start solids, it's bum length and I lose so much that to look at my bathroom after I've washed my hair you'd think i must be bald now
