Hope everything goes well today tits and happy birthday bigtitsboy! Grin please do not overdo it, and rest when you need to x glad MIL is ok.

I think Mums should get presents on their kids birthdays.

Iheartpasties · 15/09/2012 09:44

Oh have a good party tits do not over do it though!!! And yes a present for mum on a birthday would be very special :)

Shelly it doesnt sound fab, there must be something up with you my dear, please go and get checked out, you will have us all worried sick if you dont.

I hav been out looking at beds today, single beds with trundles underneath - i had never heard of such a thing until i started looking, its like a pull out drawer underneath the bed and it houses a mattress - so perfect for sleep overs etc. well, anyway they are pretty pricey! yikes. I'm scouring ebay now!!

I got rid of 3 dressing up dresses that i was given by a neighbour on our local facebook page for selling/swaping things today and they lady who picked them up gave me a big bag of fabric in return! Some of it is jeff banks!! Wooh! I'm very happy.

ValiumQueen · 15/09/2012 09:47

Iheart do you have Ikea down under? I got mine from there, and it was not too expensive. It was the mattress that cost the money, so we just use a blow up at the moment.

Iheartpasties · 15/09/2012 09:55

VQ just googling now!! We do have one, not too far away, just far enough away for it to be annoying!

horseylady · 15/09/2012 10:00

Right I'm about to go a nearly new sale see if I can get a baby bath!! Think were about done then as mint cousin is giving us a basket stand!!!

Then will ride and see if the pig had many piglets and if many died then ante natal class number 2 talking about labour then off to mums for my sisters birthday BBQ!!!

Iheartpasties · 15/09/2012 10:09

horsey have fun! :)

ShellyBobbs · 15/09/2012 10:21

Right, for once I'm listening. Seen as though I have to go back to the hospital pharmacy anyway (hospital prescription, chemist shut!) I'll call in at the labour ward.

I know the A&E staff did their job to a T, they stabalised me and that was their job done, I'm not blaming them, I've just run out of steam with it all now.........

I'll update later and let you know how I get on.

I have been a little bit naughty Grin I've ordered another pushchair!
It's one that we want for when baby is a little older as it's lightweight and v easy to fold. I didn't want it from birth as it doesn't rear face. However I think it will be ideal for when Mum has DC when i'm back at work, very easy to fold when getting on/off a bus and lighter than our other pram. I've also decided it is the best option pushchair for taking abroad with us when we go on holiday.
I was going to leave it until we go on holiday to buy it but it's got £75 off at the moment!! It's £250 in John Lewis and Mothercare etc and i've just ordered it for £175. I've reserved to collect at store so we've got until Monday to make our minds up. Am I a complete pushchair addict already?! Grin

When I mentioned it to DH last night I pointed out that we've saved a lot on the things we've bought so far. I worked out the the pram, carrycot, car seat and base we have now, if bought at RRP at somewhere like Mothercare they should have cost £700 in total. However, with a bit of shopping round we've paid £352.

It's the last cricket match of the season today (yay) so DH will be around the house at weekends to help me do things. I don't like waiting to get things done, I like to just do them myself but now i'm struggling to bend etc i've got a growing list of things for DH to do.

FatimaLovesBread · 15/09/2012 10:24

Glad you're going Shelly, fingers crossed you're fine Smile

Passmethecrisps · 15/09/2012 10:25

Good luck shelly

ValiumQueen · 15/09/2012 10:27

fatima you simply cannot mention a pushchair and not name it, colour etc! Poor show! Grin

Good call shelley hope all is well x

ValiumQueen · 15/09/2012 10:29

Hmm. Who reckons horsey will just buy a baby bath. I bet it will be overflowing with other things (jealous)

DH wants to go out driving today. Great.

Iheartpasties · 15/09/2012 10:30

shelly you have put my mind to rest :) fingers crossed for you.

kissyfur · 15/09/2012 10:31

Happy birthday to your boy tits and hope the party goes well

DP started decorating our bedroom yesterday. Finally the paint sample patches that have been there for over a year and a half are covered up! We had to sleep on sofa cushions in the lounge last night tho as we've not got a spare room and i didnt want to sleep in there with all the paint fumes. thought I'd not sleep well at all but it wasn't too bad. Could really do with a trip to Ikea today but don't think I can face it on my own with DD! I hate it when DP works weekends at the mo

FatimaLovesBread · 15/09/2012 10:32

Sorry Valium BlushGrin

It's the Baby Jogger City Mini in Aubergine here. I love the folding mechanism and after a lot of research it seems to be a favourite for taking on holiday.

kissyfur · 15/09/2012 10:33

Good luck shelly will have fingers crossed for you

horseylady · 15/09/2012 10:34

fatima I approve! I very nearly bought the double of that, and in that colour.

Iheartpasties · 15/09/2012 11:16

DesperateHousewife21 · 15/09/2012 11:46

Thibk I've missed a fair bit. shelley hope you're ok.

Piglets, Ikea and birthday parties wow! My mum and sister are going up to ikea soon but I'm giving it a miss. Can't be doing all that walking around and got no money :(

MILs 60th birthday today, we're going to see her in a bit. She doesn't want a big fuss though so its just turned into any old visit on a Saturday.

Peaky1 · 15/09/2012 12:32

YW thanks for the link yesterday.

Shelly - I hope everything goes ok today. If everything seems well then I hope you speak to someone who explains WHY it is all ok and WHAT to do/look out for should you need to return. I hate being the patient but if stuff is explained properly then I think it helps you to feel more in control.
