Soph, you poor thing, if they cancelled mine I would go absolutely mental. Don't they realise how much we hang on these things? I think VS's post should be read out to the receptionist.
DH has STILL not taken next Fri off for our scan in spite of getting really irritable every time I ask him - I know he knows when it is and has been focusing on it as much as I have - it's just like there are two different 7th Decembers - one at work and one at the hospital. He is like this about holidays too - 'oooh, I really need a holiday' but WILL NOT commit to booking time off work. GRRR. I am going to bug him again. Especially annoyed as we have all been booked to go to Dorset this weekend to stay with friends for maybe two months, then on Sunday he announces (in a manner that suggests I'm somehow supposed to have known... through ESP?) that it's his work Christmas party on Friday and he might have to work all weekend. So either I take a lift down on Friday with a friend (he says he'll be less likely to come on Sat if he has to drive by himself with a hangover) OR hang out on Friday only to likely have to drive down myself on Sat am (and/or wait for him to hmm and haa about whether he has to work or not whilst simultaneously exuding stale booze fumes and resolutely refusing as usual to acknowledge that we only have certain windows in the day for long journeys with a young child) only to drive back again on Sun - I'm not a very confident driver and our car air is broken so you have to drive with the window wide open or not be able to see out.
Gosh, didn't realise I was that wound up!
EllieG, am sure you're not gay. I am not Oedipal (does it work that way?) and have still had WRONG dreams about my dad even when unpregnant. The subconscious mind is a mysterious thing.
Natalie, your kids are BEYOOTIFUL.
Sagitta, hope day gets better.
