The PESH deli - where the goal is to get a nice holiday/back in the saddle

[skihorse]

I haz made new fred.

Because sal, going against popular terror stories associated with pate & cheese - the real nasties which have only been recorded twice in the last 3999 years come from bagged salad. But on saying that I suspect they mean limp bits of lettuce left on a wedding platter in the August sun rather than a fresh looking back from M&S.

sal I def eat bagged salad... it is risk of food poisoning (ie. salmonella) which is always meant to be higher in salad stuffs than other things. but TBH, when was the last time you were ill from eating the stuff? And clearly don't eat it when manky...

ski I haz my hands in my ears while you talk of such vilenesses

ski clearly you are not hearing the message writ large in all of this that if you were a proper woman who knew her place why on earth would you stoop so low as to use bagged salad when you should be growing, picking, washing and dressing the salad yourself whilst simultaneously doing the washing, ironing, hoovering, dusting, scrubbing the step and all with a toddler hanging off your dirndl and a newborn on your hip.

Tsk. Shame on you, you slovenly bitch

cunty I has tried growing own salad, it goes one of two ways. It is either i) eaten quicker than it grows or ii) eaten by slugs.

Btw, speaking of panicking about anything you might eat or come in to contact with - anyone seen that fred on ttc?

sal I would stick to the FSA guidance - plus anything else that you think makes sense to you to eat. The FSA stuff has no mention of bagged salads...

I fucked up growing my wild rocket too ski

ski yup i clocked that one - don't think i have quite reached those heights yet.....

fanks for tip re salad - i really didnae ken.

please to pose question to the horse wimmin - I haz equine dilemma...

Teen would like my horse on loan maybe - is good option I know her and her sister works at the stables where he currently lives and rides him for me at the mo - so she would be on hand to help her little sis with him. Which all sounded good to me...

But - downsides, he'll move somewhere else AND they want him on loan for longer than a year - a year was the max I want him away - but maybe I am being unrealistic about the amount of time I will have for a horse next year? so difficult... he's my best boy

piggles How much longer than a year do they want him? What childcare will you have available? If you are really wanting to ride within the year I imagine it would be really frustrating not to have your own boy. But this would only apply if you have a realistic idea of who will look after t'baby while you are riding, e.g. nursery, grandma, etc. Is there a chance you can suggest a compromise that they take the loan for a year, but after that it becomes a 50/50 share back at your yard? Or something like that.

sorry I knows nothing of poniez, but I do have wheels!

Because I have not been outside at all since Monday, SFF decided to take me to the shops with him to get some jeans (for him). we have come home with: jeans for him, trousers for me, joggers for me, t-shirt for me, muslins, bath pillow, toiletries and a Quinny Buzz pushchair.

Babies R Us were doing QB on a deal for £85 less than everywhere else. Then we got there and the nice lady said they had one four wheel version left at another £90 off. We have to wait for them to order up a missing bit of padding for the straps and the car seat adaptors, which had gone awol, but they will come in the next two weeks at no extra change. DEAL! We have had a good play. SFF even put the fake baby inside and turned the whole thing upside down. She stayed in - bonus

Dog is very unsure of the whole thing though.

I'm such a bargain hunter. Between the nappies and the Quinny, I reckon I have saved at least £350 this week. Now, how to spend it...?

welcome along sal!

in the spirit of name changes, this more aptly reflects my current state of mind and body

ghosty please can I recommend not to be turning it upside down when actual baby is in.

I boughted 2 grobags and a tens machine off a friend for 20 squids and they arrived today. Grobags is so cute. I am avoiding looking at tens machine becuase of what it makes me think of.

porcinepeggy hmmmm tough decision.

Whatever you decide, draw up contract, teen and teens parents must sign it. Include clause that either pary must give minimum 4 weeks notice to return the ned.

Could you work it so as and when you can you could ride via appt or sumfing?

Cosmosis What's a tens machine? Is it like a giant black mambo in 12"? Electrical pulses my arse, 25g of white widow plz.

I think I'm going crackers, I can't stop touching and admiring my bump and I can't wait to meet my little person although I hope it hangs around inside at least a little longer.

I just said to jailbait I can't get comfortable on my back, my left side or my right side. The response? "Get used to it preggo!"

They're not very tactful these men are they?

Who was it of the new PESHes whose husband did the hip-thrusting and exclamation of "he works"?

Congrats curly on your Quimmy, does it look large and imposing? We've kind of got used to ours now - in fact from here I can see two dog toys wedged under the wheels.

iggy I'd be reluctant... if a year is what you want, a year is what you want. Although perhaps ponymum's suggestion is the way to go forward, draw up a contract for 12 months and re-negotiate.

iggy On the other hand if you like the yard he's at... I don't think I'd allow a sharer/loaner to move Ginger to another yard.

Bloody hell talk about needing a map to find this thread. Right, now someone tell me what the hell I'm meant to be doing after happily pissing on 12 sticks in the last 4 days. Do I get a lukewarm welcome drink and some nekkid dancin?

Welcome honeymoo Well fgs stop POAS - only the menkuls (curly/carrots) continued to do that after the BFP.

The nekkid dancing can only be done by new graduates - "things" are happening to the bodies of the rest of us.

You don't need to think about the birth or anything icky like that - in fact you might wish to ignore everything over the 16 week mark in your differ book. I used to burst in to tears at the picture of the 12 week foetus. I had a wobbly at the midwife too - all very normal apparently.

You can settle yourself in for starting to feel mega-tired in a couple of weeks, following that will be a tightness/nausea feeling if anything rests over your abdomen - you'll end up buying enormous pants which go up to your tits. Don't worry - you're pregnant - nobody wants to fuck a preggo anyway. The final stage of acceptance is where you look at Kirsty Alley in "Look Who's Talking" and think to yourself "oooh, those dungarees look really comfortable".

Fanks Ski! I am already planning a big white knicker buying session (for purposes of paranoid surveillance and comfort) followed by an amazon order of sick bags.

Can you confiscate the rest of my preggy tests please? I've only got another 7 honest.

I've ordered the mumsnet guide to pregnancy and until then, will remain in blissful ignorance. My doctor website says not to bother coming in until 6-8 weeks (past droid or egg I wonder) so fuck knows what I'm supposed to do until then. After all this effort can't even tell anyone. I'm not known for my patience or ability to keep my gob shut. This is going to require superhuman effort.

6-8 weeks post droid honey. (so you are 6-8 weeks preggo). Make an appointment asap because from my experience, they can be right disorganised gits!

ski, speaking of tactless I got this this morning: 'You know, when you're at this stage it's hard to tell if someone's pregnant or just fat'.

Priceless.

Apparently I was a moody old bag for not splitting my sides...

Thanks Grump will be on the case tout suite.

On a weight note, I'm quite liking the comments on MN about actually LOSING weight in the first 3 months. Maybe not so great if accompanied by constant vomming that said.

Charming cunty, just charming.

honeymoo What I has learned thus far is that weight gain in pregnancy is a huge taboo. Nobody talks about it - the only weight related threads you'll find are the "I've put on 6lbs at 28 weeks, I am such a heiffer" - thereby putting off the honest posters and making anyone who puts on weight feel like a massive failure and fatpig.

I asked on the private section of my ski forum and the answers came back at as high as 50-100lbs weight gain. This is what I mean, BIG taboo...

I do not weigh myself.

ski yes, am loving the pram installation. it's already gathering washing...

I'm sorry to moan but am finding myself close to tears again. Every single fucking day I am in pain with this - am I just a lucky person who's never been bothered by skeletal/muscular pain before or is pregnancy supposed to hurt?

I feel right now that I will never be able to run again, never move fast, just sit on a fucking sofa eating biscuits.
