This do scorpio?

Congrats VS Sorry they don´t do anything for me! Sagitta - just no climbing up ladders OK?! DH has managed to move all his appointments so am feeling loads better. Also am full up on chicken & chips so the world is rosey again

First coat done! Ellie had a point though about paint fumes. Now feel high as a kite...

Found out what colposcopy means. Congrats, VS, that's great news

ha, I had my first smear about 6 montsh before getting pregnant, had to have a colposcopy and then a small op on ym cervix to remove the cells, then I got pregnant and had to go back, was sh*tting myself, but thankfully all is clear.

God Sagitta, you paint fast Just to cheer you ladies up - it´s absolutely peeing it down at the mo & it´s got cold. Although in one sad, twisted way I quite like it as it seems more wintery

In case you´re confused (after having reread my post)! I mean Noel Fielding does nothing for me ... sorry ladies

VS - really pleased for you. What a relief.
Soph - Yes, I paint fast, but badly. It looks like shit as I didn't prepare surfaces well enough yesterday, so will have to do another coat or two before DH gets home so he doesn't know how bad it is!
Good news about your DH coming to the appointment. Jealous of Chick and chips lunch. Srum. Just wondering what I can eat for mine, from totally empty fridge.

Could just feast on thoughts of Noel Fielding. Sorry you're not impressed, Soph. Maybe the camp glam look isn't for you...

Hhahaha, to be totally honest I dont find Noel Fielding good looking at all, but the more I watch him the more I think he is great, same with russell brand and even DP agrees!

No, camp glam deffo not for me This is more my type of thing here

Is it odd that I like Lost man and Noel? Or am I just greedy? Really enjoyed reading the posts this morning!

When is Big Fat Quiz on? Saw Noel for first time on that last year, and he and Russell Brand were hilarious

Have just realised I can show you what DH looks like because he is the spitting image of this guy

hello all

He's lovely

I'd like to ask you all a question - has anyone seen their midwife yet, or is it normal not to see them until your 24th week?
Mine won't even speak to me - i left a message with the midwife centre and called her mobile (which she didn't answer) i can't even make an appointment with her direct. this is my first pregnancy so i haven't really got much of a clue about some things, and was just wondering if this is normal?

btw, have my scan at 9am tomorrow

Can I have a virtual hand-hold please? DH is so focussed on finding out the flavour, I had to gently remind him last night that it was actually a growth and anomaly scan... not just a "have another look at your baby" scan that the NHS give you for fun!

Sure everything will be fine, but just know I will be a bag of nerves tomorrow. Thank god it is first thing, gives me less time to get wound up......

Toastaddict - of course it isn´t, the more the merrier I say ... but I know I´m greedy

Toastaddict - we´ll have a group handholding because Ellie´s having hers as well if I remember rightly. Annieroo - no it is definitely not normal to wait to see your midwife until the 24th week.

Annieroo - just to second what Soph said - definitely not normal

We can ALL hold hands, in one big virtual circle of positivity.

Am v impressed by sagitta's painting. Bad or not, is very fast - I hate DIY so never do it at any speed. Though my house desparately needs some rooms doing, so may have to break out the old paint brushes.

Have just spent last hour with a million children making xmas decorations. Was nice, as I felt extremely popular but then they gave me a headache.

Hurray VS! What does that mean?

Oh yes, annieroo - NOT normal

Toastaddict & Ellie - good luck with your scans - Have got mine on Monday, so far feeling ok about it - but will no doubt be as nervous as the rest of you.

I have finally got through to making an appointment! though not until day after boxing day.

mmn, lovely man Soph. (I'm not drooling over your DH, by the way, the first one - but DH lookalike looks lovely too!) My dh looks like a cross between shaggy off scooby doo and Jay Kay.

Good luck with scan toastaddict, and have a fight to see midwife, annieroo. Not normal.

Pregnant women over here have to see their midwives once a month, more if they have to be monitored.

my DH looks like Benicio Del Toro according to our secretaries at work - can't see it myself though I did think when we got together that he looked like Brad Pitt! Actually you can all see him - I'll put my favourite pic on my profile... hang on...

ps I haven't seen midwife, but only because we moved and stupid new surgery lost my registration form so I had to find a new one and then the time to go and register there - finally did it last night. From memory had seen midwife at least twice by this time last time, though.
