poor you pone. sorry we can't help. Hope Mr P is back with you very soon, and DD gets better. Sending hugs, back rubs and cups of tea. x

Ponymum Why don't you ring him and demand he comes home? You are allowed to you know, and, unless he's in sole charge of the LHC he can leave - you don't need to put up with this on your own.

I'm having crappy ms still, peeing through the night (not in bed obv. ) and bursting in to tearns 50 times a day - there's no way I could do this without jailbait, I don't know how single mums cope.

I haz just found an inspirational laydee on www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/833344-skiing-when-pregnant?msgid=17763754 - her name is pandora69 - she was competing at 20 weekds (dressage)! I suggested she get her TTC bum over to the BESH thread. We likes adventurers.

I'm just home from a lovely hack on madame, I only went out for 20 minutes but ended up doing double that, it was blowing a gale so I turned for home and pushed her in to a canter on a muddy farm track - she jumped up on to the verge and hit the Turbo function - galloped for about quarter of a mile! Totally unintentional but it's made me feel so much more chipper.

What is this? I joined Mumsnet to check out a review on a toddler ski jacket, and now you're talking about me!

Go for it wrt the dressage. Although I have to say it doesn't quite have the same thrill as flinging yourself madly over cross-country jumps at speed. More amusing is that I decided to do some showing at about 20 weeks (horse would be a toptoptop show hunter if only I could be bothered to keep him clean. He is light grey .) So we both had a good shower - you can't wash a big horse and not have a little wash yourself, I stretched my tweed jacket over the bump - I had to sew some hooks and eyes on, and off we went. My theory was that in a show hunter class you all just canter round together looking lovely and then the judge rides and does the hard bit. Only it was raining and the judge decided she didn't want to ride the exhibits. So I trundled off. Big horse decided that he was in full on protection mode and not going to allow me to do something I shouldn't be doing, and therefore was refusing to gallop. I had a little kick, but he was being very stubborn about it. So I brought him back into line with a smile for the judge. She placed us last and as she walked along the line told me he would have won the class if I had showed him better. I replied I couldn't be bothered with trying to get the lazy sod to move as I was nearly 5 months pregnant. It took her about a minute to pick her jaw up off the floor.

Anyway. Keep up the horsey stuff. Pony club mothers have to come from somewhere. Big horse loves DD1 but is traumatised by her pony. He is sadly up for sale so that I can buy something smaller and brown, and not scared of Shetlands.

PS OH made me promise when we had DD1 not to suggest any names commomly seen in the pages of H&H.

Hello pandora. So are you actually preggers right now? And are you trying to tell me that I can't call my children Lucinda and Oliver?

Hello chuckeyeggz, I went AWOL cos had too much work on, but owing to previous inactivity, I don't think I offended anyone?
So anyway, I HAD to write having only just discovered you (Sunday nite surfing).
Ola to the pony! Also spesh besh note to madam cunty (we got the house, I'm a gunna be your neighbour! stalker alert etc).

Even more, ahem, I write out of civic duty since a couple of ya seem to have what I had = prune juice (in fact, a rather pretty light pink number). Being the queen of discharge, I thought I'd just let you know my experience: it went on for a few days and, I got dildo-cammed 'just in case', but in the event it was deemed to be implantation type bleeding (at 6 weeks, huh?).

Finally, Haaaah Ski weren't you the one who said you didn't understand why women over-eat when pg? (I was the same.) It aint that simple is it? For all you sickly laydeez, take heart ? I felt as bad as can be, but the hideous endless churning unbearable nausea really has cleared up (round week 11-12-13) and I really do almost feel like my old self (albeit with fat gut). I know this aint the case for all, clearly pauvre pony, kiss kiss and gentle ginger sugar cubes, but I think this seems to be a general pattern.

Snogs, Kim.

kimdeal Yep... I'm still of the opinion though that some women are just being "piggy" - and you know I'm no lightweight, size 6 supermodel when I say this. Thankfully I seem to have passed through the "eat your own bodyweight in carbs on a daily basis stage" and am now back to eating normally which is great with no damage on the scales done. Phew!

I have had a couple of days of terrible swelling though when I wanted to walk in to town and buy some maternity trousers. Yesterday I had to undo the button on my breeches.

I think I'm gonna be dildocammed on Wednesday morning. Had a bright red bleed on Friday night and again Saturday morning - was totally convinced I'd lost it, and was terribly upset. However, it stopped, and we went to the local A&E (we were in London). They couldn't scan me there, so have got one on Wednesday morning.

All been fine since, and the hospital was SOOOO nice. So I'm feeling positive about everything.

positive thoughts for you carrots. All is going to be fine

Apparently not unusual that carrots so just reeeee-laaaaaaaaaaaaxxx. Bodies is weird shiz innit

Sorry to hear that rots hoping that all is fine on Weds for you - am sure it will be.

I had dildocam yesterday - it's somehow worse when they put the condom on it... seems wrong...

Thanks U 2. I'm quite happy ATM as no bleeding since Sunday and MS back today .

Very odd weekend. In A&E on the Saturday instead of seeing our friend's play, which is what we went to London for in the first place. Friend's BF took LC to the play which he really enjoyed, so at least we didn't need to drag him to the A&E. We managed to get to see the evening performance with same BF babysitting at home, poor chap. On Sunday we all went into the city to go to the Natural History Museum (or Natural Mystery Museum as LC calls it) and on the way we were running for a train and performing friend slipped and fell, with head and a leg falling right down between the train and platform on the tube. While I jumped up and down and screamed at the driver, YOB held the doors open so the train wouldn't drive off. Friend managed to extracate himself from scary place and jumped on train but when we got to the museum he went into complete shock, and he and BF decided to go home.

So we decided that the weekend was TOO stressful for words!

Today seems better, as a court hearing I thought I'd need to go to (car accident from last year) has been postponed - hurrah - so will be re-scheduled when I'm feeling better, hopefully.

pony so sorry things are so tough I agree with ski on the demanding he comes home thing, and I'm horribly independant and hate asking for help, so, to say that means I think you REALLY should ask him. I wouldn't be coping in your situation, sounds horrible.

pandora great story I had to quit riding at about 2 or 3 months with LC (DS1) as I couldn't mentally cope with trying to keep one step ahead of the extremely manic TB I was riding. I was too self-protective so was always a second behind her, which was getting dangerous. Shame she didn't think she might choose to look after me

X-post Iggy and ROFL @ condom.

Yes, he has already been on the plane for 6 hours now... but because of where he is he won't be home until tomorrow at 5:30 pm !! You would think that with all this technology they could make the world a smaller place somehow.

I have put the Christmas tree up. Is it against the spirit of PESH/BESH that it is tasteful? Or does it have to be a riot of flashing lights and singing snowmen?

pony IMO it has to be tasteful. I can't be doing with riots, snowmen or otherwise.

Good news about Mr P, sweetie.

Ponymum I'm very glad to hear he's on his way home. Just one thing ... if your husband is such a hot shot Physicist why hasn't he invented a teleportation machine?

Our tree is up and will be getting decorated tonight. Due to i) being Jewish, ii) having a horrible upbringing and iii) being lonely for so many years - jailbait and I have vowed to make my christmases as lovely as is possible. We even have lights, but sadly no life-sized Rudolf.

pony is it based around a theme of cream and gold? Only then shall it be deemed tasteful. All other colour schemes are Gaudy.

ski Um.. probably because he's a political scientist, not a physicist! (And thanks for the roughing up by the '70s cops - just what I needed.)

cunty So my handmade silver filigree and glass ornaments are too common for you?

Oh hahahaha ponymum, sorry, I thought he was a proper test-tubes & atom bombs scientist! Same question stands obviously.

Xmas ornaments are just plain fucking weird these days. Last year jailbait and I went out and spunked a fortune on balls and the like. And a traditional xmas swan. WTF? Xmas swan? We also hang those chocolate ornaments and then blame the dogs when they get eaten when the other person is out of the room.

ok pone I'll give you that one

Why does being Jewish mean you have to have lovely Christmasses?

Our tree is filled with random un-matched decs which I've picked up over the years as souvenirs from places I've been to. It's (oh heck) a riot of colour and unmatched-ness, and now that LC is big enough he's started to contribute with little decs made from sticky back plastic and toilet roll inners. My parents still have the "crackers" by brother and I made from loo roll inners and crepe paper aged about 5 years old.

Because we didn't have lovely christmasses. So now I will. Our stuff doesn't all match either - we've a mish-mash of balls made in China, wooden stuff and even some knitted ornaments and I love it because it's special and it's all ours.

'made in China'??

All our baubles are from the garden centre. I'd love to get them all at John Lewis, but we've only just moved so can't re-mortgage the house just yet

Traditional christmas swan? Never heard of it. Traditional where?

It's ME who is the real scientist in our house! (Analytical chemist, back in the day before all the CEO larking about.) MrP's theory is that any discipline which actually says "science" in its name is definitely not a science. e.g. social science, political science, etc. As opposed to us real chemists, physicists, and biologists.

pony, fair point.

ski you mean you didn't have nice Christmasses partly coz you are Jewish and therefore your family didn't celebrate it in a big way?
