I think most people are taken by surprise when they look in the mirror Horsey. I don't think it is an uncommon phenomenon! I know I have been surprised a lot sometimes!

I am finding it hard knowing I am declining induction, because I can't say I have a maximum or end date in sight. There are downsides to some things I guess!

detective have you tried the mckain frozen potatoes? They are really very good and I am also mega fussy about baked pots.

I have VQ but I'd have to eat several packs of them and they don't hit the spot in the same way for me!

I'm sat here craving one of DP's stews for some reason. I can taste it in my mouth, even feel the burn it leaves behind because I eat it when it is waaaay too hot. Why am I craving this when I'm having my favourite tea. Weird!

I buy the biggest baked potatoes I can get my hands on VQ!

I'm having baked potato too detective!!!! With vege sausage, cheese and salad!!!! Yum yum yum!!!

I'm like you, has to be oven cooked!!

Glad to know the mirror thing isn't uncommon. Will take a pic I think to remind myself how I look!!! And that I am very very pregnant!!

Having mine with cheese, sweetcorn and red onion. Mmmm!

I've taken a shit load a few pics to remind me. With DS I have one picture, the day I went in to labour! The only other picture I have is from when I was 22 weeks, and didn't look in the remotest bit pregnant! I was still 1.5 stone lighter than my pre pregnancy weight at the point. So no proper bump pics! I've made sure I've got some this time, as it is nice to look back on!

Have you ever had one baked in an Aga? On a different level. Worth buying an Aga for that alone. How do you eat yours? Me, ideally just butter and pepper. Insides first, then skins. Preferably watching fireworks. Lots of butter.

Yeah I've taken one every 4 weeks so far, but think more often now I'm at the end. It's interesting!!

As dh likes to tell me - youre still thin, just with a big belly!

Erm - thanks??!!

Baked tatties done in a fire are the way forward! Cheese and butter mushed in to the insides then eat the crispy skins. Mmmm! Damn you detective! I want one now!!

Vq - butter, paprika, cheese. Inside first, then skin. I may add more butter.

Never used an aga, the rangemaster cooks them well though!! Perhaps rangemaster should look at an aga setting??!!

Oh god, an Aga! Mmmmmmmmm... stop it VQ it is pay day on Wednesday, and I have a bumper pay to spend save and ideas like that are not helpful

I love them with butter, salt and pepper. But when having them as a main on their own rather than a side, I go for cheese and salad type toppings!

I mash mine up, so they are totally mushed, and eat the mush, then the skin!!

I'm going to put together a little collection of pregnancy pictures and print them off. I've not had any pictures that I haven't taken of myself I don't think, so might get DP to take a few nice ones in the next few days! I've got lots of pictures to remind me of the pregnancy. I like taking pictures

Damn I want one too! Potato not Aga. No space for Aga.

DH is nesting. God help us all.

Yes, camp fire! I could do a camp fire! I won't, but I could. And deffo add more butter for the skins.

In fact, if I can hold off til after my birthday (which isn't happening now I've decided baby is coming on 28th - another reason btw, is that it is exactly a week between our birthdays!) then I can take some very nice shots. I hope - since I've asked for a nice camera off DP. Though to be fair, if I labour before then, I think he will let me have it early! Although he hasn't got me one yet... will have to remind him!

I WANT MY TEA NOW!!!

Another 30 mins and they should be good to go, I bloody hope!!

I just checked on my antibiotics - to be taken on empty stomach. EMPTY? The only time mine is empty is when I wake at 4am Or leave 2 hours after eating. 2 HOURS. I don't think I can manage 2 hours without eating!

Damn it!

Oh I know want a baked potato. I like to bake, scrape out the inside, mash with butter and put back in the oven to go crispy on the top. I am liking the sound of sweet corn and red onion, perhaps lunch tomorrow.........Chicken pie and mash tonight.

Am on the edge of my seat about yw

Obviously I now want a baked potato. this I pad always mixes up my knows and nows and I never notice until I have posted. As usual I should check my work before I send it out. A life long faux pas of mine.

I fear I may start another Dominos effect...!

iPad/iPhone = work of satan.

Definitely.

Hate posting on my phone!

Trying to catch up on all the dinner talk!

I had pork loins, new pots, veg, onion and gravy yum!

MIL just text me to say she has found someone to make the curtains for the baby... for the price of 2 boxes of cigs.

Am eternally grateful as I've not been able to find anyone to do them. But 2 boxes of cigs is making me think my curtains will come back reeking of smoke. Ungrateful bitch. I can just wash them, right?

She probably doesn't even smoke in the house. I'm just being hormonal!

Get a grip!

Eaten. Yum!!!!!!!

She might not smoke in the house! Would be my first thought lol!!

Yes you can wash them. Might take a few washes though?
