December 2014 thread 8: turn up the heat - the Christmas turkeys are cooking!

[Peaceloveandbiscuits]

Here's the stats page

Hahaha what the hell?! I just wrote a huge post and all it posted was that? I can't even be bothered typing it back out

Yeah I'm ok. Just wish I had had a chance to tie things up a bit and say goodbye to my tenants before I went off sick. :(

Just a pain in the arse having to go through all this again.

First NHS antenatal class yesterday. Terrible chairs - my hips are in agony now. :(

hugs bighairy

still feeling yukky here, so hiding under the duvet with a cuppa...

I feel absolutely shit this week. Yesterday we found out DH's grandad has cancer and basically he's been sent home to die. This feels all too familiar, my nan passed away in October in 2012, one Thursday she was walking around, talking, eating etc (in hospital) there was even talk of her being discharged soon, then the next day she fell over going to the toilet and that was it, she passed away the following Thursday, so 6 days later.

I feel like I need to be stronger for DH, but I really can't help it. I just start crying as soon as he cuddles me or holds my hand.

I really need to pull myself together don't I

Lotsa that's so sad :( hugs for you

Thanks Peace.. its an odd feeling knowing I won't be going back. didn't get to say goodbye either. Ahhh well, next chapter...

Have you seen your GP about the shoulder thing?

Hugs to you Lotsa.

No I haven't, it's actually been better today, weirdly. Will heat it up all night again and see how it is tomorrow.

Found out at work today that im still entitled to 6 weeks annual leave even though im having one year of mat leave! To take it all in time i can finish work in one week instead of 8! Wondering if i should try and still work and get paid the annual leave aswel for the extra cash!
Bought some gorgeous xmas leggings for baby in primark today, red with penguins on

Lucy is that the AL you accrue while you're on ML? I'm taking mine at the end so my start back at work date is 23rd December 2015 (noooope haha)!

Same as me Lucy, that's why I finish up next Thurs and go back in Jan 2016!

And boy am I on a countdown to finishing - I really need it!

Aw nuts, I bought a yoga ball today but it's too small :( I'm 5'4" and the 55cm is upto my height, but the 65cm one is from my height... So I was torn. Blah, don't want to be the only one at NCT without a ball tomorrow!

Supermarkets etc sell exercise balls which would do the trick

I can't afford to buy one without exchanging this one! The shame.

Boo. Where did you get yours from? Will you be able to exchange tomorrow?

Sports Direct and nah on Thursday, though. It'll be fine! I thought it was a bit much expecting everyone to go out and buy a ball with a week's notice anyway. Damn it, rich middle class people (please still be my friends)!

Hi all, sorry I went AWOL after only joining last week, work has been mad. I have been awake since 2:15am stressing about a big event I am organising today, but once it's over only 2 days left!

So sorry to hear you didn't get to say goodbye on leaving work, that must be frustrating. But good that you can move!

The pressure bearing down when baby becomes engaged is what made me realise I was really HAVING AN ACTUAL BABY with DD! I had thought I was ready but it entered a whole new stage once she got head down.

35 weeks today.

How can time go sooo fast and soooo slowly at the same time?

Oh my goodness Pourquoi! You're full term in a fortnight!

Eek I was only 31 yesterday, you seem so far ahead!

I'm only 30+4! Y'all better not be too up to your armpits in sick and nappies to update here until I give birth

We're skipping NCT tonight as poor DH has come home from London with some kind of bug! Bit bummed but don't want to pass it around the class and he needs to go straight to bed! This is one of those times I really wish I could drive.

Oh lord he's been sick on the station platform. Temptation to sing "welcome to my world" is STRONG.

Porqui im 35 weeks today as well, it's starting to drag/ become scary!
