New thread people, can't link as we ran out of room

Ahhh Daydream good to know you're a dunker :) I'll ask DP - he should be ok with it because he is the one that has to put up with this insane occasionally hormonal pregnant woman me. But I think he won't mind a bit of P&Q

I occasionally have a bout of pregnancy insomnia and I find that sometimes nothing works but occasionally getting up, having a snack or a drink and a wee then trying to sleep again better than staying in bed.

Pidg the time thing drives me nuts! DP and I have to always cross check what the other means so I almost always say 5 thirty instead of bothering to use the half.... Weirdos

I am totally in the chocolate should be at room temp camp.its the 'body temp melting point' thing. And im a v keen dunker to the point of knowing which own brand choc mcvitties need their dunking time adjusted for succesful transfer to mouth.

nutella she really cant count - and will be sorely disappointed when she gets to 40 wks and finds she has to get through another one! (Or 3!)

Ooo pidj dilating!!

Hope COD ok?

Do we definately have a 'show' before labour or simetimes not?

clarella I never had a shoe with either of my other dcs so I'm not expecting one this time. Also with dd they popped my waters at 5cm. With ds they didn't bother and my waters broke when I was pushing.

Yeah a show isn't inevitable. My friend never had one or any waters with either birth

Noooo chocolate belongs in the fridge

For anyone without GD this is amazing but I used cranberries instead of nuts to make it more Christmassy!

It was Spotty who suggested i might be getting dilating pains I'm trying not to get my hopes up!

Fried egg, veggie sausages, beans and toast on the menu here once I've cleared the kitchen - was feeling so rough yesterday i didn't load the dishwasher so of course it's twice as bad now!

Well period pains have resulted in nothing apart from a shit nights sleep although I don't want anyone else to be in pain it's nice to read that others are getting them too and it's all normal!

Mmmmm BISCUITS! Guilty as a Dorothy Dunker here - Top 3 favs to dunk in no particular order: Chocolate Hobnobs, Malted Milks and Rich Tea..... Walks off to find biscuits and make cuppa

Hahaha dirty dunker not Dorothy dunker damn autocorrect!

Dorothy Dunker bahahahahaha. Sorry

I was wondering about COD also!

I'd love a rocking chair Stacey. Would be so nice for feeding and putting to sleep. Definitely not in the budget though.

You've sparked a biscuit debate in our house! DH says solid chocolate belongs in the fridge, but not essential if on biscuits.. He likes to dunk but I don't, I wonder which way the LO will go (once old enough.) not suggesting dunking him!

Dorothy dunker hahaha! Good mn name

I even keep my Jaffa cakes in the fridge....

We have this argument all the time, DP puts all chocolate in the fridge - even mine. This really pisses me off as chocolate is supposed to melt in your mouth and you don't get the full flavour if its cold.

He also tries to put biscuits in the fridge, making them go soggy!i love dunking, custard creams and ginger nuts are good.

God I miss biscuits! I keep eyeing the boxes of cadburys ones in asda, but while I'm okay with carbs, refined sugar is a definite no no.

No Spotty, NO!

I looooooooove dunking squares of 70/80% chocolate in rooibos, my night time treat .... infact started to do that few years ago in an effort to avoid polishing of quite so many choc digestives when writing school reports as it was reaching binge proportions - chocolate hit reached in fewer calories ( plus lowers blood pressure ladies!)

Oops sorry willyou and other blood sugar monitors, best save these discussions for postnatal!

Oh I don't keep non chocolate biscuits in the fridge! Hobnobs should be ok willYou? Tesco used to do no added sugar shortbread but not anymore think boots do though?

I'm with spotty, choc biscuits definitely kept in the fridge and as for dunking.... Blergh! What do you do with all the horrible soggy bits at the bottom of the mug? Makes me want to retch

Finally JoJo! someone talking sense!

If you perfect your technique jojo then there are no soggy bits at the bottom. Those are a result of your amateur dunking status

at amateur dunker. You will never convince me to spoil a lovely biccy by dipping it in my tea, its just not right i tell you!

Penguin straws

All this biscuit talk reminds me of this....

cried with laughter the first time i watched it!

Ow ow ow my bump hurts now brooke!!

Cadburies finger straws!!!!

Whoever said about the rocking chair, it's the poang one in ikea the frame is £80, we had a cushion from a normal poang so used that but I think they start around £30 depending on the fabric. Much cheaper than a baby store rocking chair.

Just walked 2miles to the shop to try and encourage little one to move down (and come out). Def gotta keep moving I want my baby out.
