Welcome to our new home! :)

I know what you mean about the vaccine but I kind of figure without any significant evidence to suggest it causes harm I might as well get it.

That coat sounds fabulous. I will forever mourn the loss of my beautiful burgundy leather coat that I purchased from the vintage section of Topshop in Birmingham in 1997. It disappeared from the house at the time of the fire The insurance company denied all knowledge since it wasn't written down anywhere. Either way, it is lost forever and I doubt I'll ever get another like it :(

I understand your worries but I think it's ok to feel a bit brighter after the purchase of a new coat! :)

Oh, oh, oh! I was nominated for that MNetty thank you Christmas thing (that I'd never heard of before!) and my gift arrived today! I am all emotional! I opened the card but am going to save the presents til Christmas!

I do still have a vintage leather coat I bought for about a £1 many years ago. The lining has had it, it's got huge holes at the elbows where the seams have come unstitched. HOLB bought me a new (to me) vintage leather on our honeymoon and does that I still wear this mega tatty one so much......but I just LOVE it.
One of my profile pics on FB is me in London on our honeymoon wearing the one he bought me. It's 60's/70's style.....

He's just text me to say that a band he loves are doing a London repeat of a performance they did in New York, and I know he'd give his right leg to go.....and it's the week that baby is due!! You see.....two and a half years to get pregnant, we put off so much stuff in that time on a 'what if' and then when you finally get your hearts desire the universe sticks it's tongue out and blows a raspberry and says 'ah, we're going to throw all this good stuff out there now'....

ooooo faith, how great is that? but then....you are great

Well I like to try and help on here but just I'm a bit overwhelmed!

jab all done. lovely male student nurse was sitting in. It's great to be distracted from an unpleasant experience by discovering that you've both heard of a slightly-but-not-quite obscure band.
I tell you what though, I only live a 5 min drive from the surgery so got stuck with the needle maybe 10 mins ago? I didn't feel the actual jab (this is good, I have lasting memories of them being excruciating) but my arm is really achy already. It took about 4 hours for this level of discomfort to kick in after the flu jab. Apparently the tetanus element of this vax can make for a strong reaction in some people.......

Well that's something to look forward to them...

Bleurgh, I feel rough. I don't think I'll be we'll enough to work the weekend somehow!

so far it's hurting about as much as the flu jab did, so I think it just got painful much quicker.

I had such horrible dreams last night. I woke up believing that my lovely Mister had left me. It's still making me cry just thinking about it!

Me too! I woke with a start at 4am thinking I was wanted by the Police for trying to buy alcohol for underage kids and I knew they had my photo from CCTV! My heart was pounding!

I am still unwell. My stomach hurts. I need to decide today/tomorrow if I'm fit for nights Saturday/Sunday. MSB says not but the idea of a full week at home is awful! (I can't really go out if I'm sick). Oof!

I agree with MSB...you need to stay off work and get some proper rest in. It's not like you do a job where you can quietly sit behind a desk and just get on with it.

Must have been a night for bad dreams, I woke up at 8am absolutely sobbing because I was having such an awful dream.

It's coooold today, we have for the first time this year lit the fires in both rooms as soon as we got up. It's a rare occurrence but then HOLB has to work in the living room so we need to warm it up in there.

I have rung in! My stomach is still cramping badly and I feel really sick still. If it was days, that would be one thing but nights take their toll anyway (made me sick last time) and by ringing in now they should be able to get bank staff to cover. If I'm honest, I've felt worse! I'm improving (hey I'm dressed already and waiting for the window man to adjust a door with a gap in the double glazing!) but I can't imagine running round at work. After Sunday I'm not back in til Wed so hopefully I can call in fit for Monday.

It's barely above freezing here. I might put the (electric but LED so pretty!) fire on to keep the living room. I am of your fires queenie!

Any suggestions for a Christmas name for me?

OComeAllYeFaithBaby?

it's all well and good being jealous if fires....but if you are very houseproud they are a pain because they are so dusty. They are a beautiful aesthetic addition to proper central heating - it's not so glamorous when you rely on them to actually warm your house!

Will have a think on a Christmas name. I just stick with the same one every year!

OOh like that blonder! I was thinking of trying to fit in HaveYourselfAMerryLilXmasBaby but I think it's too long?!

I have the curse with house proudness. My Mum was massively houseproud and drummed those standards into me, however I don't have the wherewithall to maintain it. Also MSB doesn't uphold those standards

The gap is fixed in the door so hopefully his playroom will be warmer now!

Did it work?!

yes it's worked

i grew up with a mother who had OCD and it manifested in cleaning. I'm afraid it made me the other way.....my house is clean, and mostly tidy but very definitely what you would call 'lived in'

I can only see HaveYourselfAMerryLilX on my phone unfortunately... I know it's you so it doesn't really matter though...

Hmm, I'm not convinced....I might go with your suggestion blonder

Right, I've changed again!

Much better

I have just seen the midwife. Baby isn't engaged at all

She has booked to see me again on the 17th (day after due date) for a sweep to try and get things moving!

dor I'm sending you some positive vibes for the baby to drop and get that head engaged.
