Due Fab Feb 2009: the Curry and Cake Club

[onwardandupward]

Here is our new thread!

How about "Fab Feb 2009 - here comes the easy peasy (?!) wee-wee sneezy third trimester.."?

LOVE IT!!!!!

We've had the washing machine mended? Would anyone care to hazard a guess at how it broke?

sounds really good, well done dinky! I'd never have thought of anything that good, I'm like you calico, totally forgetful and can't hold more than one thought!

Hello everyone

MOS - How scary....glad all 4 of you are ok though...

TBM - glad you're home and still in one piece - not two! Long may it stay that way

Come on then MS....what did you put in the machine? Toy? Money?

Blimey this baby is SO active compared to DD. My placenta is posterior this time (was anterior with DD)....it makes SUCH a difference.

or perhaps the fuse had gone......or door wasn't shut properly?

(been there, done both )

Take it you werent trying to ahem ride it Markstretch?

wire from an underwired bra block it up? (has happened to me!)

Did one of your belly bands take on the washing machine and win (I swear one of my belly bands killed our last washing machine when I was pregnant with DS)?

Ha ha dinky stinky!

Good guess everyone.

In fact DH rang me in hysterics as the washing machine repair man was wrestling a pair of my knickers from inside the washing machine with a wire coat hanger

Apparently they had gone down the side of the rubber seal and entangled themselves around the drum and caused it to completely sieze!

My knickers are now a mangled mess of black fabric. But at least it's fixed

He has advised we get a net laundry bag to put our smalls in in future.

Were they big knickers?

They were an old pair of boy shorts from lasenza which have been stretched to hell by my fat pregnant arse.

I can only thank the lord they weren't old beige period knickers.

DH has since changed his FB status to 'has just spent the afternoon watching a complete stranger tugging on his wife's knickers'

evening all.
TBM so glad to here things are better now. I hope that little bean stays where he is for a lot longer and that your contractions ease.

MOS that must have been awful for you. Hope dh is looking after you now.

Hi to everyone else hope you are all well. PMSL at your dh ms....

LMAO thanks MS & MS's DH you have made my night!

Dont worry Calico - I posted 2 letter this afternoon and then saw when I got home that the stamps were still sitting on the side!

Love the title Dinky. I'm so rubbish, I was kinda thinking along those lines but can never quite get the final idea to sound good

mumoverseas wedding is three weeks Saturday I cant wait either!

OMG the dog has some sort of skin allergy and the vets wanted to do some exploratory stuff with him today so admitted him this morning and when we picked him up a couple of hours ago they had knocked him out, taken skin grafts, blood tests ect ect and it came to £750 i nearly fainted (but not as much as DP did) specially as we paid nearly £100 a week ago for some antibiotics and an injection. He is insured but as the itching started a year ago this November crappy Tesco pet insurance only insures for a condtion for one year - moral of the story is make sure you get an insurance policy that if your animal gets a condition that they are covered for life ( m and s and petplan do this ) As we are going to have to pay now out of our own pocket for what is probably going to be a lifelong conditon for Otis. Our insurance runs out for this particular condition in a couple of weeks so i think ill probably change insurers anyway as have nothing to lose as he wont be insured for his skin condtion with either tesco or the new insurers. Sorry for the whinge but it was rather a lot to find up front with the wedding only three weeks away!

LMAO dinky @ the title for the new thread - im beginning to wonder if i will always 'leak' a little bit at sneezing now as its without fail. Was ill with a stomach bug last weekend and was sick too and basically had to sit on the loo whilst i was sick otherwise the sofa would have suffered badly - i cant believe how much control ive lost of my bloody bladder

I want some tiffin - god i remember how lovely that tastes!

I have tiffin in my bag...but not for much longer

am eating sheek kebab with special rice. mmm hmmm hmmmm

just had a pepperoni pizza and loads of tiffin cake

DH made lovely tortillas!

I name changed. The gesture is long overdue.

show-off

TBM I've not been on for a few days, but so glad that you're back home and that the LO is still where she should be. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way. You must be exhausted.

MOS Sorry to hear about your accident, that must have been terrifying. Very pleased that you're all safe and baby is fine.

Rosieposey am shocked about your vet's bill. If it'd have been my dog, I think I'd have just left him there tbh. (However, perhaps I am mean and evil!)

Markstretch are knickers more embarassing than a breast pad? The engineer discovered that one of my washable breast pads had jammed up our washing machine when DD1 was tiny!

I've just read an ancient Mayan ritual for predicting the sex of your baby:

If the mother's age at conception and the year of conception both end in either an even or an odd number, then baby will be a girl.

If the mother's age at conception and the year of conception differ in terms of oddness/evenness then baby is a boy.

This method is accurate for my 2 DDs, so so far is 200% accurate

It predicts another girl for me! Have my 22 wk scan tomorrow, but DH insists we don't find out the sex this time, so I have to rely on methods such as this.

Have you tried the (wedding) ring test, Coco?

fraid its only 50% here...I was 31 when I conceived in 2008 and I know its a girl and was 29 when I conceived my son in 2006
