Thread 6

Pram hopefully you will find a great place :)

Lyra, I love the irony in you finding pie butties so wrong when you have no issue with putting your tongue up your fella's arse

Well played pram-pram-per-ram! Excellent furniture acquisition technique!

Pram - tell him from me that it's the tea of gods (though I'm not a fan of Ginsters anything really, definitely a Hollands girl)!

Lyra - there is nothing wrong with double carb. I challenge anyone not to feel like they've been cuddled after eating a double carb tea one aspect of my pregnancy that I better had grow out of or I'll be the size of a house

Double-carbing is okay, i.e steak pie and chips. But a sandwich with a pastry product is wrong wrong wrong!

You've never lived HotCross !

Lol Pram You do have a point.

I was going to suggest you ask the landlord if you can take some furniture. If he's knocking the place down, he's not going to need it, is he. Maybe he'll throw in some white goods too? You could also try freecycle. People give away all kinds of stuff in good working order because they don't want the clutter. Or Gumtree. When I moved we bought a Bosch washing machine on Gumtree for £40 and it's still going strong five years later.
Hotcross, lasagne and chips is another one I don't understand.

Lasagne and garlic bread is double carb (I'm making a salad with it rather than giving in to OH who wants chips too!)

That sounds really dangerous Ice. Definitely not doing it now.
I have eaten so much today. Complete rubbish too. Absolutely stuffed and feeling pukey now.

Double carb meals are the best!! Although prefer chip butties rather than pie. Asked DH's opinion and he is now desperate for a pie butty

Pram will the council offer you somewhere now you've got the notice through? My house is council commoner and it's fab - quiet little cul de sac, tons of trees, looks like it should be in a little village somewhere rather than the outskirts of a big town!!

Pasta and garlic bread is fine. Great.
Pie sandwich, what?!

I've been living almost entirely off carbs with a few vegetables thrown in. I reckon I've lost about half a stone, I haven't weighed myself but my clothes feel looser and my face looks thinner. My appetite is slowly returning as the nausea gradually subsides but I can still only eat very small amounts. I really forced that roast down earlier, it was huge and I struggled but it was so damn good.

So according to m&s you only wear pjs and nighties if you're preggers. Check out their maternity range!!! Who was looking for a cossie? New look have on online that looks pretty practical!

I've led a pretty sheltered life, all the talk of rimming and farting is making me blush!!

Just ordered my first maternity clothes from Next online - the dress I linked to in the previous thread, some black over-bump leggings and a pink vest dress. Total £52. I have old maternity clothes somewhere but I suspect they're still in bastard XP's loft so I may or may not get them at some point.

I was at French restaurant and i tried to order pasta and chips.

In his snooty accent this waiter says you cannot have the pasta and the chips I mean what the hell?!

liberuna, you should have said 'in that case can I have a pie butty?', and watch the snobby fucker's brain implode.

I've ordered a dress, blouse and jumper from New look. £50 too! I bought a non maternity jumper from next today. I thought it'd do with a bump but it's just ridiculously too big. Sleeves too long, far too wide. I'm sure it's labeled wrong. It's going back. I've got some jeans. Skinnies and leggings from last time. I'm hoping that'll do. Might get an extra pair of leggings.

Jolls look after yourself - I always find sorting the kitchen to be a fairly big job when you move into a new house. Glad you're happy with new location though.

I have stayed off coffee this pregnancy but had a real urge for a proper caffeine-filled cup this afternoon before I got stuck into my marking. Last pregnancy, had one cup a day and DS always kicked like mad after. Was sitting marking away, when nearly jumped out of my skin as baby did somersault quite distinctly on my lft hand side. Not just a flutter but a full scale kerflump - think because I was bending forward over my marking, felt it all the stronger. Been 2 yrs since I felt that and makes me smile!

I'm so pissed off with XP right now. He's just sent me an email saying he's paying me £400 less in child maintenance this month because of legal costs for the court case HE chose to start. He earns a lot and I know he can easily afford what he's supposed to pay me. He does this almost every month because he wants me to beg him for the money. He knows my finances are very tight and I can't afford a cut of £400 overnight. Arsehole

I'm expecting my flu jab letter soon. Got it last time and tbh was glad as with working in a school, flu is pretty virulent in the winter months. Think I would panic about having it in the first 12 weeks but feel okay about it after that. I know some people report feeling flu-like after but I had no side effects last time.

Oh Lyra, he's such a knob! Reply and say "I am forwarding your email to my solicitor". That might be enough to put the wind up him.

Lyra that man needs a slap. His behaviour is do pathetically jealous and designed to punish you for being pregnant. Don't know your rights in that situation but just wanted to say, once again, what an arse.

Aww cool how lovely! I felt our little one kick today, the first proper movement. I rarely drink tea or coffee. If I drink coffee I get tummyache and need a poo urgently within 1/2 an hour!

Cool, that's lovely about the kick. I feel more movements when i lean forward to. Haven't felt any for several days now but have listened with the doppler and all appears to be well.

I haven't had any information about the flu jab. I actually had full-on flu when I was four months pregnant with DS2 and it was horrible. The paracetamol I was allowed to take just did nothing. I was bed-ridden for nearly a week and I had to stop bf DS1 because I was too ill and weak.

Thanks Frank and Cool. He's spent the last two years (since I kicked him out) doing anything he can to punish me and my pregnancy is just his latest excuse, although of course he would deny being jealous

SoSuprised you probably wouldn't be allowed anyway by the go karting place, I went on a hen do when I was 6 weeks and its on the disclaimer that you sign at the beginning, the guys at the place we went to were really nice about it and said he wouldn't want me risking it just in case. They kept it secret from the rest of the group as well as my pregnancy wasn't common knowledge back then. The girls who did it said it was very bumpy, and really hot so I'm glad I didn't do it when already feeling woozy!
