just popped out to get eyebrows waxed - i now have 2 of them! and have booked a pedicure for next wednesday. My toes will be all lovely just in case i decide to do something interesting for my birthday. I have 2 kids parties to attend with J so at least when the happy birthday song is sung i can pretend it is for me

lol, @ at the spring cleaning.

Can't think of anything worse TBH, morning, noon and night, no thank you, sleep is much more needed.

ShowOfHands · 03/04/2007 15:41

Wax? Eyebrows?

Good grief woman. Painful. But then I'm a slattern of the no plucking, no waxing brigade.

DH waxes his legs. All in the name of triathlon- stops gravel rash when you fall unceremoniously off your bike. Or so he tells me.

scootermum · 03/04/2007 15:43

SOH You do make me laugh-spring cleaning..
God that bitch at your DH's work.I could happily kill her (and largegandts exp as well for good measure).

Im glad you are able to come on here and tell us whats bothering you..it does you no good in the end to bottle..
But there MUST be something to be done re the woman at the work.let me eat this Viennese Sandwich and think on it..
Your poor DH..Why should he have to get some temp job with everything else going on just because of some cowbag..On the other hand-do they have job agencies where you are-as maybe he would get a pretty good rate as a chef?They are always advertising for them around here in the agencies..And if there is nothing to be done re the cow then he might be better off out of it, as much as I hate conceding defeat to her-its not worth his mental health and inadvertently yours..
Could he even call the Police about her?Does what she has done constitute harassment?
Chin up love..You are doing all you can to be a great wife and of course you are not a burden-you and Mathilda are probably his reason to keep going.Plus lovely AM is sending you gingerbread men bless her!(And KK's to gandt!I cant stop thinking of those ones at the Post office either-maybe we should call and instruct the staff there to open the parcel and eat them-such a waste )

I went to the post office today with a view to sending off my secret stork gift..I bought a post box thing to send it in and then spent approx 30 mins trying to fold it to its required dimensions.Finally did it and was told by the surly piece behind the counter that I needed to tape the edges.She then refused to lend me any tape.I left defeated.Will have to try again tomorrow having secured the package..Honestly all I wanted was a measley bit of tape-I could see she had some behind the counter...Things like that drive me spare!

TYG/SOH I can do sometime on Wednesday next week for meet ups?Any good?

Pebblemum · 03/04/2007 15:45

Now i can get on with catching up.

SOH im not being nice, honest, just wanted to give you a virtual non slushy {{hug}}.
Oh and there is nothing wrong with having rice pudding out of a tin. I quite often used to sit there and eat that in the evening before getting pg, then it progressed to tinned. Talking of rice pudding has suddenly made me want some, but Ive just polished off a big chocolate eclair so maybne i will wait until later when the boys are in bed (dont have to share then {grin})

LG&T no sex eh. Poor you but then again you might get caught if you tried it just like SOH did

Now is it just me or does anyone else hate it when they have people like the gasman come into their houses ask to use the loo and then stink it out!!! The gas man left ages ago and no matter how much i spray (the window is open too) it still smells.

On a nicer note, we just got back from the shops with £3 worth of scrathcards and i won £4 on one and ds2 won £5 on another, por dh won naff all lol. I know its not much but we made a profit. Add to that the £100 i won on saturday and me thinks that maybe i should do the lottery tomorrow, you never know maybe my luck is in. If it is SOH i will pay your rent for you until dh gets back on his feet (as long as its the jackpot, dont think a £10 win would go that far lol)

scootermum · 03/04/2007 15:45

Did it hurt more than plucking April?Im considering it-assuming its longer lasting?

Luddite that I am-can someone add me to the list please-EDD 24th May, girl, calling her Mae..

thanks

ShowOfHands · 03/04/2007 15:49

Damn feckin police force. Just phoned DH and apparently he'll start training 'maybe September, possibly November'. Will he ever start? Originally it was May, then July... ye Gods, if you want to go on a crime spree get yourself to Norfolk, there are no police here.

I'm going to write a book. A bestseller and then he can give up work and we can live on a farm.

Wednesday is good for me btw.

Ooh looky here, Pebble's rich. Pebble have I told you how pretty you are today? Honestly that colour's lovely on you.

evil

And she has chocolate eclairs...

Pebble, you're looking so slim.

Pebblemum · 03/04/2007 16:13

Im afraid flattery will get you nowhere, especially with the eclairs, ive scoffed them all

Mrsjaffabiffa · 03/04/2007 16:58

I am liking my rubber bottom, scoot.

aprilmeadow · 03/04/2007 17:43

Scoot - it does 'sting' a little but as i am crap with tweezers its the safer better option! Took about 2 minutes to do and i have it done every 4-6weeks or whenever they are getting a bit messy. Figured i shouldnt need it doing again pre birth. Luckily i dont have caterpillars stuck to my face so even if i do leave it longer they dont look too bad.

LupinsBigLump · 03/04/2007 18:08

Hi all bit unexepected but looks like I am queue jumping, went for scan today and babys growth is not as it should be and placental flow is slightly not as efficient as it could be, have been on monitor and had steroids today - have got to go back in for 8pm tnite - just been allowed home to sort a few things out, baby will be born by friday by csection

Thanks for all your support and friendship over the last few months - I will try and get on to update you all when I can - god not looking forward to dull stay in hospital

To my babyshower person, sorry its not all wraped up pretty, afraid I just have time to stick in jiffy bag and get dp to post

LupinsBigLump signing off for now

Mrsjaffabiffa · 03/04/2007 18:15

Oh Lupins. You may not get this, but best of luck with it all. We will be waiting with baited breath for news. big hugs hun. xxx

aprilmeadow · 03/04/2007 18:15

Lupins - all the very best for the c-section. Cant wait to hear all about your little man. Will email you with my mobile number and perhaps you or dh can text to let us know that all is ok with you both.

Take care xx

largeginandtonic · 03/04/2007 18:45

Lupins.... Really hope they monitor you for a few days and fing that the LO is ok for a little while longer. Sure it will all be fine anyway though, baby should be good size and be straight in the room closest to the exit on the special care unit if he needs to go at all. We all used to look longingly at that room when the twins were in.
Can we have your email if you geta chance to post? Here is mine [email protected]

Send ne your address and mobile number too so we can keep track of you, bugger, bugger bet you are long gone.

Evening everyone else, i have no chandaliers to swing from. May look in to that Spring cleaning Im not shy
id tell it to em straight......"yes, pants stuck on light fitting, was having sex, obviously"

largeginandtonic · 03/04/2007 18:50

I must get a bikini wax, im soooo neglected down there. It looks like David Bellamy would struggle to find where it all should be I just figure that bleeding everywhere and inevitable stitches would be a lot clearer and less messy IYKWIM with quick wax.

Oh the pain though.....still not quite squeezing something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a lemon is it?

LupinsBigLump · 03/04/2007 18:59

Hi

I am all showered and packed, thanks for you messages - lgt i think thats the only think bothering me really is not having him in goldfish bowl next to me, am still calm about everything else - I will get my friend Natasha to pop in tomorrow and update you all - apparantly he is about 2 and 3/4 lb atm, he has good strong hb and is moving loads

my email is [email protected] am emailing lgt my mobile number plssss keep me updated

Off to waitrose to buy trashy novel and snacks

Over and out - loops xx

largeginandtonic · 03/04/2007 19:06
