April 2007....bunnies lambs and babies!!!!

[geordiemacminx]

Here you are girlies!!

Goodness I go away for the weekend and there is soooo much to catch up on! Congrats doobydoo on the wedding. Having been married myself for oooh, nearly 5 months, can highly recommend!!

Great news on all recent scans!

Nuttygirl - at your MIL! Too right you don't want to take the bus if your going to throw up, or, indeed, at all IMO. Or walk up hills when breathless. I have the same thing at the moment, there is a hill up to my work, which is not that far from where I live, but I get so breathless going up it (and I am reasonably slim at the mo!) that I have started taking the car at the smallest excuse !

I know, why don't you suggest to your PILs(?) that they get you a nice little runabout to aid your general independence and getting out and about. And they should be kind enough to tax, MOT and insure it for you as well...

Feel free to show them this post if necessary. Oooh. I think I'm having a hormonal day today cos' interfering baggages like that make me cross!!!

DH leaving tomorrow for 2+ weeks. Am really going to miss him and DS2 is getting quite anxious about it (as Daddy never normally goes away).

GGF - PMSL @ asking PIL to buy me a car!!!! When they gave my DH their old car they paid for the insurance and told me "maybe you can pay to go on it when DH reaches 25 and it's cheaper" (I was rather insulted and paid for myself to be added on right away!!!

Thanx for cheering me up !!!

Ah.... glad I've made someone happy today. They sound completely adorable BTW.

Do we have the same MIL nuttygirl??!! I avoid contact at all cost...rude, insensitive, opinionated, tactless, ignorant and dare I say a few branches short of a tree! She winds dh up aswell and as time goes on he 'sees' stuff she does/says to me and will now say something if she is really out of order! I think steam coming out of my ears is a pretty good sign!

Well - have had a productive day on the holiday front - have confirmed hol cottage in cornwall next june and a weekend away with a friend in November - something to look forward to - and the novemeber one should also be my 20 week scan week so even more exciting!

I have booked myself into pg relaxation classes on sunday afternoons starting mid november - don't think could do evening classes!

[[[hugs]]]]]]] nuttygirl - if it is any consolation, your MIL don't sound a patch on my MOTHER!!!!! She is Nasty Dragon She-Bitch Satan Supreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT COST TO REPLACE A CLUTCH - OMGOSH - £450!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your own mother - blimey CD!!! Sorry to hear about the ££££££££clutch - what a nightmare - something good must happen to you soon! xxx

Evening all,
CaptainDippy, you are having a time of it, you poor thing. Don't get me started on MIL's, has anyone got a half decent one???
I had low iron and the MW told me to eat as much bournville chocolate as I could manage, I did not argue and it did seem to do the job

Sleepingbag - with DD and this time I've been told I have cyst on my left ovary, they said that's the side the egg came from and it should go after birth, I've never had any pain from it as far as I know. Try not to worry.

Congratulations Doobydoo, I got married on the 1st December when four months pregnant with DS
you can't tell in the pictures but I still had really awful MS. And of course MIL tried her best to ruin the day, I'll say no more on her as once I start I won't be able to stop. Anyway don't want to put you off, marriage would be fantastic, if it weren't for MIL's.
Rant wanting to burst out so must stop!!

Take care all
Hensden 15+1 still sick and V.windy
P.S Well done on all the latest scans

My MIL ain't bad - she doesn't take much interest in the DD's but she is v.sweet and a bit dippy (not as much as me though ) - not bad as far as MIL's go, bless her!!

Hiya loves. The mil debate has reared its head I see!! Mine is ok to be fair - a bit in yur face and over bearing, but means well. My fil on the other hand - soooooooooo opinionated! Anyway, enough of that, or our blood pressures will be through the roof!
CD, you are having a shocking time aren't you. Really hope things turn a corner soon for you and family.
Off to parents evening at dd's pre school shortly, to hear what she is really like!!
Hope everyone is ok.
Hugs xx

well folks - it has taken me an age to catch up with all u all. i wont get into posting good wishes and commiserations to all here on yr news but just to say - fab to all on our scans and grwoing bumps

lol at the MIL chat. i have a mil who has never visitedus here in 3 years despite coming up to glasgow regularily. we do get the 3am phone calls with wailing tho'. sorry to be a B*** but if there was a bottle of vodka on tap - she would be here quick as. the stepMIL likes to "lay on hands", do a bit of chanting and waggle a feather to heal people. not my scene. she is not adverse to trying to stroke my dp butt and thighs given a chance.

cant wait to see what kind of grandmas they will be

Thanks you guys. You are all so sweet.

Best go before I get all hormonal and weepy and scare you all off ......

(Currently eating a bagel covered in Philly and smoked salmon - mmmmmmmmm ......... )

Sorry to be on a downer but I have just found out that the company I have been saving with for Xmas has gone bust and all my Xmas savings for DS's Christmas presents have gone up the swanny. Spent the last hour crying and feeling sorry for myself.

I know it's only money but I am devastated. Typical - I am rubbish with money and I try to be good and save and not just throw it on a credit card and this is what happens. £300 BLOODY QUID

I AM SO

I'm sorry for ranting - I was so looking forward to Christmas and now it's ruined and going to be a huge big stress

I need chocolate BIG TIME

Hi all. Hope everyone ok. It's taken me so long to catch up and i've only been away for the weekend.

Good news for everyone's scans etc. Sorry can't remember all the individuals.

Muminamini I'm so sorry to hear about your christmas money. You have every right to be upset 300 quid is a lot of money. Ranting definitely allowed on here! Chocolate sounds great.

Speaking of chocolate I went to Cadbury world at the weekend. What a great place loads of chocolate.

Hope everyone ok

15+1

muminamini. that is really really pants news. i would be a wreck by now - so thoughts are with you. i know you will have been through it - but is there no way to get the money back???

Hi weeonion

Well....I don't know is the honest answer. The website says that we ay get some buut not all of the money back but it will not be for some time so all I can do is lodge my claim. I have just e-maied the administrators and given them all the details of the money I am owed and I have contacted BBC Watchdog - silly I know but I was just so so cross!!!! I'm sure I won't be the only one who has contacted them. Just feels better to at least do something constructive instead of just panicking about it.

DH is being great and telling me we will be ok and manage - even if everyone else has togo wothout there is no way that James will do without this Christmas - I think I will be working alot of overtime in the next few months.....

On a different note - I must be REALLY lucky - my MIL is Great, I can't imagine what a nightmare it must be for those of you whose MIL's went to the Hitler school of tact and diplomacy!

MIAM that is awful - I heard something on the news today about people losing money on Christmas funds.

And at the cost of a clutch, what rotten luck CD.

Not much to report here though am definitely getting fluttery movement. I'd forgotten how lovely it is to feel a baby move inside you, like a little secret you've got all to yourself . Well, until they start booting you HARD when you try & sleep....

Oh MIAM, I heard that on the news today - what a bloody nightmare. I am really sorry that you have lost out. Let's hope you might get something back.

Hope all are well. Going to bed in a mo - what an exciting life I lead!! xx

MIAM - at the company and for you. Know what you mean about being good and saving, instead of whacking everything on the "elastic plastic"

Decided that the inside of the car needed a clear out, and ds joined me to help in the only way a little boy can. When I looked up from the back seat (how can someone so small create so much mess ) he had my glasses in his hands, but one arm was in one hand, and the rest of my glasses were in the other! Really couldn't be angry with him, because he looked like he was going to cry. Only use them for driving (very vain, should wear them more often ) and can just about wedge them on with just the one arm - so if anyone on the M4 sees a woman driving a megane with a pair of squiffy glasses, its me

I heard about the xmas club thing yesterday, it made me really sad. There are going to be so many people that cant afford to get nice things now when they have saved up.

Was thinking about this morning, was thinking I wished there was something I could do to help.

Please forgive me if I'm over stepping the mark but I know that I could spare a tenner.. maybe if anyone else could.. or whatever they could afford and we could send it to you to try and make up for the money that you have lost?

Geordiemcminx - I really am touched. Thank you for the lovley thought but please keep your money - you need it I am sure just as much as we do.

I went to bed last night with a stonking headache after all the crying. My Dad rang up at about 10 o clock after watching the news and had seen the article about it on that and rang to ask if it was the company I had been saving with. I was in bed but DH told him it was and what a state I was in and bless my Dad but he has told us not to give it another moments worry as he will give us the money.

I cried even more then of course....I feel on one hand so..so grateful and on the other hand the proud side of me doesn't want to take it as I feel that by now I should really be standing on my own two feet.

My Dad is pretty insistent and is on his way round this morning to talk to me about it, he said to my husband that he was so angry because we had tried to do the sensible thing and save and this is what has happened.

Thanks to all of you for the words of comfort - you really are an amazing bunch of ladies. I do feel better this morning, even if my Dad hadn't offered the money my husband and I had a long chat and had worked out how we could manage...I know we are fortunate in that we can recover from it but I just feel so heart sorry forpeople who have lost more money than me and who really cannot get the money by working overtime etc in time for Christmas.

I hope this acts as a warning to anyone else who ever thinks about using a Christmas savings scheme! I am just going to give it to the MIL to keep away for me for next year! Here's hoping there is no "MIL runs off with Xmas Cash" Headline next year...

I feel so sick again this morning - what is going on - I'm meant to be feeling better - not worse!!!!

Have a good day ladies - and honestly thank you again for the thought it was lovley of you GMcMx

MIAM x 13+4

miam, glad you're feeling better this morning

if it makes you feel any better my sickness has come back too

15 exactly

This is going to seem very trivial compared to miams news, but does anybody know where I can get a nice, trendyish pair of black flat shoes. Really don't think I can wear heels for much longer.

In work at the mo and the boss is out, hence lots of messages, really should go and do some work.........

Runnyhabbit - I just got a gorgeous pair of flat black boots at Clarkes. Lovely soft leather - bit expensive though. Shoes would be cheaper!

My ultimate flat black pgcy shoes for all occasions were a pair of Eccos I bought for my last pgcy which I still have.

Hi runnyhabbit

Tesco have some nice flat ballet style pumps for a tenner - I got a nice burgundy pair and I'm sure they have black - if not try New Look they always have them
