Ooh! Anyone else watching 24?

I'm trying to watch it and MN and do my expense claims for work!

SesHopesSpringwillbeheresoon · 16/02/2009 21:19

Ok... I am not happy...

Yesterday, our friends bought me a box of Thornton's chocolates for my birthday. I've just asked DH if he'll bring them through so I can have a few and there's 5 missing!!! He says he's only eaten 3 of them
As if that's ok??!!!
He thinks it's funny!!!

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 16/02/2009 21:40

I'd be horrified!! its shocking Ses! Dont think my DH would mess with my chocs! Least I hope not!

idreamofbeanie · 16/02/2009 21:45

Congratulations Astarte
Welcome to baby Astarte, can't wait to hear all the details.

Ses I'd be very unhappy! Saying that DP 'accidently' bought me a box of truffles from thorntons for valentines. Plus points for remembering but I hate truffles. Have to say he didn't look that sorry as he sat eating them on Sunday night!

SesHopesSpringwillbeheresoon · 16/02/2009 21:54

He has apologised now but don't think he really gets it as he's tried to help himself again!
A woman and her chocolates...

SesHopesSpringwillbeheresoon · 16/02/2009 21:54

IDOB - they are obviously missing the "chocolate gene"!

kayzr · 17/02/2009 07:45

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to hear the details. It is so exciting.

DS1 slept all night so that was great!!!

Hope everyone is well.

Congrats to Astarte! Sounds like things moved quickly when they finally got going. Look forward to hearing details and to moving another rung up the list!

Hope all ok with Glask.

Only a four day week for my penultimate week but it is going so painfully slowly, not helped by the fact that I don't have much to do........

kayzr · 17/02/2009 08:28

Cosmo, I found that my last few weeks before Mat Leave went so slowly. It felt like ML would never start.

We're struggling a bit at the minute. DH can hardly walk or get up of the sofa or bed. We're hoping it is because when we went out on Friday he was pushing the little stroller through the snow and it was really hard. So hopefully it will clear up soon. Usually people with Becker's Muscular Dystrophy have to start using a wheelchair in their 40's or 50's but it can happen in their 20's or 30's. It is really getting to him now.

Hope your DH gets better soon Kayz, any update on how Glask is today?

Ooh exciting Cosmo, nearly there!

We're getting into the GOF zone now, I have a few OV symptoms creeping up so we'll be at it like rabbits for the next few days......

lardybump · 17/02/2009 09:20

Morning eveyone. Astarte hope you are ok this morning.....

I am so tired and feel very emotional this morning..... Couldn't sleep at all last night so got up and laid on sofa watching tv. DD has a stinking cold and has been up caughing most of the night as well.... I have no energy today, so going to have a really lazy day today!!!!!

kayzr · 17/02/2009 09:21

No nothing yet. They were keeping her in last night but she wasn't have contractions. She was meant to have a scan but they didn't get round to doing it.

Sparklytwinkletoes · 17/02/2009 15:27

Hi guys, just had a text from Glask, her scan has showed she's got no waters left at all but that LO is a good weight, which is something.

Just thought I'd update as I know everyone's thinking of her...

I can't believe how quiet its been on here today!

Sparklytwinkletoes · 17/02/2009 15:31

She's not been assessed by the doctor yet, but it will either be an induction or wait for labour to start naturally....she's just waiting to be seen.

(This is virtually a live feed by the way - such is the dedication!)

lardybump · 17/02/2009 15:52

Good luck Glask - thanks for that sparkly...

Diege · 17/02/2009 16:11

ooh good luck GLASK - sounds like she's being looked after well. Thanks for info
