To be fair it does explain the press policy on the homepage, she should probably have at least SKIMMED it.

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:31

heh heh haven't you noticed my subtle pumping of you for info on your habits and proclivities?

No, am currently doing piece on swinging.

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:32

Errm that was a joke btw.

dizzydixies · 04/03/2008 11:33

PMSL dh would be delighted, he might get some that way!!!

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:35

Re. your post the other day about flipflops, despite having snow yesterday I am wearing my FitFlops today and have painted my toenails in last gasp attempt for one part of my body to look attractive. Also for fond memories of last glimpses of toes. Will someone remind me at 7 months to go and get a pedicure??

Shazza2002 · 04/03/2008 11:37

Good tip about the pillow. I think that's what I did last time as everything started aching down there. Perhaps I'll put DP down there!! He only has to come near me at the moment and I'm ripping his clothes off, and there was him thinking the trying bit was the fun part!!

Sorry dizzy, forgot we can't talk about the S word, I'll whisper next time.

Oh, and there was me thinking she'd written something naughty and really got told off

LadyOfWaffle · 04/03/2008 11:37

Morning (just about!) all! I caught up on posts but now it's all gone out of my head, no idea what I was ging to say... So, errr, just a hello for now! And welcome Expectant x

LadyOfWaffle · 04/03/2008 11:38

Oh pants, it's taken me so long to catch up, there is tons more posts!

Shazza2002 · 04/03/2008 11:39

I had my hair down at the weekend. Well I say done, just my roots. They were so bad, but at least that's one thing I still have control over!

I can't wait to wear summery shoes. Am wearing lady shoes because of work so have to wear knee highs (that always end up as ankle highs cause my legs are too fat). Isn't helping the swollen ankles atall

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:43

See Shazza we all had a feeling maternity socks were not such a bonkers idea.

Now I long for a few high or low lights, what is story re getting hair coloured during preg, is that old wives' bunkum about dye seeping through scalp, into bloodstream, etc?

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:45

Oh dear, utterly rofling at "putting DP down there". What a MARVELLOUS idea!

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:46

Morning waffley one. Will try to reduce posts by not posting triple in one go!

LadyOfWaffle · 04/03/2008 11:47

VG - highlights are better than a full dye as they don't go near/on the scalp. If you get it done properly, or buy a chemical free as possible one to do at home it's not too bad. Places I think like toni and guy use vegetable dyes (?!?) that are safe, it's the full on toxic bleachy stuff you need to avoid. I am dying to get mine dyed (ha!) - I have never had it done before, but I seem to be going abit ginger in the sun rather than blonder, so may get blondish highlights. If I can convince DH that is to part with the money! Definatly not at the moment with DSs 2nd birthday coming up [skint]

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:50

Hmm will investigate veggie colours by calling hairdresser. Was considering having 1 x treat a month.
March: reflexology (Thursday!! yum)
April: highlights in hair
May: holiday
June: pedicure
July:?
August: labour

IlanaK · 04/03/2008 11:50

Too many messages to catch up on! Just a couple of replies. I also sleep in that recovery type position. I am sure that is contributing to my sciatic nerve pain. It does get harder to sleep like that as your belly gets bigger too.

As for the shoes thing, I am living in crocs. So comy and I don't have to bend down to put them on!

I had a antenatal check up with my GP this morning. I am 19+1. I heard the babies heart beat, she measured by tummy, and took my blood pressure (all fine). She took blood as bloods from last week had been lost (grrrrrrr). I am definately feeling real kicks now rather than just flutters. I have scan in 9 days to find out the sex!

LadyOfWaffle · 04/03/2008 11:51

We will probably be on a new thread by the end of the day ... who is 'in charge' of all that? Can I pop in a request for a normal thread title please? The naff ones that float about really make me cringe... TIA

Ooooh, the 'shoe' thing - I cannot wait for flip flop weather! I just wear trainers at the mo., or black ballet type shoes but all my trousers are really long when I wear them! The joys of stay-at-home-mumdom though means I don't have to wear anything I can feel my feet swelling sometimes though, mainly at night in bed or the evenings, they get pretty sore and just feel weird. Really need a footspa.

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:52

OK now I either sound

  1. self-obsessed with "treating" in manner of small child getting chocolate
or
  1. like horrible slattern getting an annual pedicure instead of monthly

Depends on your camp I suppose.

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:54

Ilana I have slight pain in lower back, right hand side, didn't really think about it but now wondering is that sciatic nerve? Lovely that you are having great kicks!

Let's just make a new thread now?

Then I better do my work.

dizzydixies · 04/03/2008 11:54

ok, I can sort the new thread out, have fark all else to do these days due to stupid feet up still - requests for witty, non-cringey thread titles please........................

will try to make the first posst an up to date list so make sure everyone has their details in order

SHAZZA you're on a yellow card

dizzydixies · 04/03/2008 11:55

X post VG sorry!

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 11:57

You do it dd gotta get slaving

Just put Due August 2008 - thread three, title-free!

LofW you've crippled us now with your warnings.

dizzydixies · 04/03/2008 11:59

will do it this afternoon so everyone has a chance to check/update any details they wish to

thinking caps on for title girls!

Shazza2002 · 04/03/2008 12:00

That's fantastic news Ilank. I am quite about the people finding out the sex but equally happy that we're getting a surprise. I want it both way but know that isn't going to happen.

I notice you're in central london. Which hospital are you going to?

VG - I've called DP to tell him he has a little job to do tonight, I'm sure it beats loading the washing machine Also for July you will feel so selfish for treating yourself for 4 months that July is my birthday so you can treat me. I've even copied your list for you
March: reflexology (Thursday!! yum)
April: highlights in hair
May: holiday
June: pedicure
July: Treat Shazza
August: labour

Re highlights. My hairdresser assured me it's fine to have highlights. She is also PG BTW, due in June. I think more of the issue with highlights is that they may not 'take' aswell that's why they advise against it. But have also heard the problem about if you have any cuts on your head etc...

VintageGardenia · 04/03/2008 12:02

Cool! We'll have a cake thread for you in July!

Must text my own DP with your OTHER suggestion, too!

See you later laydeez.
