PESH Deli - Taking the B out of BESH

[skihorse]

A new thread for the gabbers.

Hopefully we will find out during the course of this thread whether dear cheggers has laid a baybee or two yet!

Sunny here too Silver

Happy 10 weeks!

Ah bum. Just got in from a lovely spring day out in the country doing something that may or may not involve hounds, to find an email from my manager wondering if I am ever going to do any work. I WOULD do some, but I have an encrypted laptop that I cannot get to work - the woman who can sort it out for me is on holiday, and her boss is uncontactable as she is permanently in strike contingency meetings (guess which airline I work for then .) I just knew they would spot I was a workshy slacker eventually. (Actually, I am not, but I canna do the work if they don't provide me with the tools!)

cas My understanding is that while there's more bleeding (assuming all goes well) at delivery there's less lochia over the next few weeks so overall I don't think there's more. But that doesn't bother me either way TBH. I still am confused as to what to do! I see a convo with the MW in my future. I did wait with LC but after an hour was persuaded into the injection and it was fine, but cord was already cut on delivery before I had time to say, "It's a boy!".

silver congrats!

Pan I was driving home from work thinking about you (ahhh) because I was listening to the radio re strikes. Interested in your POV. It seems from a layman's perspective that the CC are just totally in the wrong and will trash the company - really poor trade union stuff. But what's the view from the inside?

What was your boss's reaction to your clearly pathetic excuse that your lappie isn't working? (I mean, if you can't use a cheese grater and some rope made from hand plaiting hay to fix up the lappie what do you expect? I think they want COMMITMENT, my dear).

Well, Rots, apparently I should be completely au fait with a laptop, as all my friends tell me I do bugger all at work because 'a computer does it all.' Right. The only computer we have has slightly less oomph than a 1980s calculator. Give me a laptop and I am instantly flummoxed.

As for the view from the inside - I wish I was air-worthy enough to join lots and lots of my pilot and engineer colleagues in serving tea on board this weekend. There is a massive company campaign in place to make sure the strike has as little impact as possible. It seems only the cabin crew cannot see that they have just pushed the big red button marked 'DO NOT PUSH!'. The cabin crew unions have had the company over a barrel for years now, and it is just ridiculous what they get away with. EVery other department has made cost savings, mainly after civilised dialogue with the company. The cabin crew just put their fingers in their ears and went 'la la la' and were completely shocked when the company told them that if they didn't come up with any ideas for cost savings themselves, the company would do it for them. And that is what they are striking over. Pathetic, really. In fact, many of the cabin crew don't even know what they are striking over, they are doing it because they union has told them the company needs a poke in the eye. I, for one, hope that the CEO takes the opportunity presented to him by the strike to sort the whole sorry cabin crew mess out once and for all. Many of them are good people, but they are encouraged by their union and their department head to act in a way which is not conducive to being part of a larger company. Rarr! I could rant on about the situation all day, but I would just be rambling incoherently.

BTW I haven't actaully replied to my manager's email yet. Only got in at 5.30pm, and am supposed to be on my 50% off days. (I work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, cos I have a mini-me. )

Silver, 10 weeks is a whole quarter of the way there! (Not that I tick the days off, or anything!)

Putney/Kingston borders SPD update:

generally okish, sharp pains on moving after a long immobilisation, e.g. sitting at work, getting up in morning. Large knife in foof = good description (but mine's been held in a roaring fire first).

I don't have pain on separation of legs at the moment which still afford me more than 2 sexual positions , but it does hurt when weight is distributed from one side to another, even when turning over in bed.

Hom and stepson are knocking down the bathroom wall upstairs. I swear I can hear squeals of excitement

iggsy good luck for scan tomoz.

I have constipation

andypandy can you tell me whether my friend's flight to NY is cancelled in a couple of weeks please, she;s waiting to find out

For those of you not linked to me on t'other place, LC had me in stiches on the way home from school. I was telling him off and had to stuff my hand in my mouth so he didn't see me laughing.

Me, "I'm SO cross with you. You KNEW that letting the slinky go would make it spring back and hit (child)".
LC, "I'm really sorry" (sorry face)
Me, "You must be more careful. Poor (child)'s been hit in the face - that's really horrible".
LC(seeing an opportunity to be in less trouble), "Oh, it's wasn't his face it hit...!"
Me, "Oh, ok, what did it hit?"
LC, brightly, honestly thinking this is better, "His willy".

cunty

pan really interesting. This is what I figured but it's really impossible to really know from the outside. Thanks for the info but

Cos she should have been contacted if it has been. They were nice enough to tell me today OH's flight to visit my brother is cancelled, using my bestest staff travel concession which expires on 31st of March and won't be able to get back for use next year. Bloody strike!

Do lots of rocking to and fro on the bog cos

I'm loving curly's [wonk]

salanderg Yes, well that site was Cossie's fella's site and I ended up orderin 1 pair of troos and 2 tops from there despite yesterday morning saying I was temporarily done with shopping. They then phoned me in the evening to say that my cc had been flagged as fraudulent. Tsk! Order place via a US computer (durrr - given who I work for) and my building being multiple occupancy (flats will do that). I asked if maternity wear was often a source of fraudulent buying and she told me I'd be surprised. Well I never, if I were to steal a credit card I'm not sure what I'd buy, but maternity wear would be quite low on the list I'm sure. At least they're vigilant I suppose - and I'd rather my bank flagged it than letting someone still my card and go mad.

cunty Like a potentially crippling pelvic problem would get in the way of your sex life! You poor thing. Have a go on Johnny once Pony's wiped him clean.

carrots I was just reading about that stuff at the weekend and made the snap decisions of thus: i) give me the injection, ii) don't cut the cord until it's finished pulsating like the alien creature it is, iii) give the baybee the vit K (it'll help with the circumcision [wonk])

Cossie I once read that the definition of true love was using a teaspoon to work out your lover's compacted poo. Give one to TGF and make the suggestion, I'm sure he's open to such things.

I had a rough afternoon & evening yesterday. Nausea kicked in really badly about 4pm and I didn't want to take another bloody tablet as I'd already had one in the morning. By 7:30 I was in tears on the sofa. Hormones I suppose - well, if I'm still getting big enough hormonal surges to make me vomit I suppose they're going to cause a few short circuits in the brain too.

^ as you can see I woke up early this morning and have come to the conclusion that we need a new political party to raise the issue of the removal of free speech from the terminally stupid.

I've had my BP raised twice this morning:
i) Children shouldn't do sport under 8 years of age because their bones aren't strong enough.
ii) My husband is a vile bully, should I stay with him for the sake of the children and my beautiful, beautiful, beautiful house?

ski i agree with you re above. and lol at major crime wave hitting maternity clothes.
why are you UP that early???

sorry you are still puking tho - that's just no fuckin fair, poor you

pandy interesting to hear the view from the inside line. sounds totally insane. hope it gets sorted soon

rots did actually laugh out loud at LC's defence, bless him, hilarious - did you manage not to laugh too?!

general boos to constipation/pelvic pain

touch wood - i have not yet thrown up this morning..........

morning sal . Well it wasn't that early really, jailbait was up at 5 to go to work so it was only since then and I'm an hour ahead.

I've not thrown up yet but I've still got time and I do feel queasy. I'm heavy breathing at my desk.

Arsebuckets to the continuing, but hopefully not worsening, SPD cunty

Good luck for your scan iggy!

ski what you got for 100 kingsize and a 1/4 bottle of 20/20? Will that get me a nice maxi dress from your suitcase of wonder? [wonk]

PMSL at the willy quote rots

Busy Long day today. Work, Yoga, Work. Expect to finish at 10 or 11pm. At least I get another nice dinner out of it...

morning all!

So far today have already eaten 2x toast with butter, tub of fresh pineapple, healthy flapjack bar with apricots - am hoping the apricots will help with the toilet ishoos as just spent 20 mins in the loo's at work with very little action but a lot of stress. Classy! Am already dreaming of noon when i can eat my lunch! Am obsessed!

Dull day at work, its going to drag. Boring!

pan great stuff, only nearly 30 more weeks to go!

As I've mentioned before I keep it at bay with porridge for breakfast made with rice milk (better for digestion and tastes better too), with a load of fruit on top. I like blueberries and grapes as they're sweet, but clementines sometimes, or some pineapple. Also drinking loads of water of course.

When really "stuck" I've resorted to eating a tin of prunes but that is only a good idea if you're not going to work for a day or so .

I did have to buy my first pack of "pessaries" and had to send YOB to the other end of the supermarket before I could pick them up . After delivering LC I went shopping a week later and bought a triple pack of dummies (my determination to never give him a dummy lasted a week), some bibs and a "pack of pessaries". The checkout lady cooed over little LC, and commented on the "pessaries" saying, "normal delivery then...". x 10000

lol!

I am slightly worried that its still early days and I am already having trouble! Not looking good for further down the line eh?

Gals, nuvver stoopid food question! Can I eat greek yoghurt? Some say yes, some say no due to vit A. Please enlighten me!

rots I am drinking plenty of water, well with squash as hate plain water. So I am peeing plenty!

Right pain not being able to search online at work any preggo stuff! If someone can advise about the greek yog that would be top. If not it will remain uneaten and will be saved for husband.

OMG! Do we have to add Greek yoghurt to the list of stuff we can't eat? Too late for me - I had a bucket load of it at the weekend. Silver, I hadn't heard about Greek yoghurt, but the list of suspect things preggie women can't eat does seem to be ridiculously long. So far in this pregnancy I have eaten a little bit of pate, a little bit of parma ham, a little bit of salad. a little bit of ... oh, lots of stuff that is supposedly the food of the devil. I think the answer lies in moderation. The only things I am avoiding completely are mouldy cheese (boo-hoo!) and runny eggs as they come fresh from my own unvaccinated hens bums and are usually on the plate less than 12 hours later.

I think a little bit of yoghurt will be fine!

Silver Eating everything in your handbag/desk and snarfing food from colleague's desks is perfectly normal in the first trimester. You may even find yourself at 10am at the supermarket buying more food. Dig in. You'll be back to normal soon enough.

As for Greek yoghurt - I've never heard of that. But, I eat it daily with blueberries & nana. I don't have constipation and my 22 week old little boy is 100% healthy and can deliver a mighty strong kick. Decide for yourself.

Fucking hell. If these fucking lists had their way we'd be eating toasted mother's pride alone and unable to poo. mental. Are you sure silver?

Mmm, toasted mother's pride! With lots of butter and a little bit of runny honey. Is that allowed?

Ah, lovely manager at work! He understands completely about my computer fuckwittage and has told me to come in at a time which suits me and he make it all work for me. Then I'll be able to crawl back into my little box at home (I am used to working in a little box!) and do enough work on the company laptop from the comfort of my own bed that noone bothers me again till I pop. He's even come up with some suggestions for me as to how I can help with keeping the company running through the strike - apparently I can put together the little map books we use so that the pilots of aeroplanes stuck in the wrong place have the maps to find their way back home. I had checked the list of qualifications on the company website for strike-breaking volunteers, and it turns out I am not qualified to do anything except fly the damn things. I'm not even qualified to be a gofer, as I don't have an airside driving permit, and I could do the passenger info giving job in the terminal but they won't have me because I might have to deal with a disruptive passenger and can't do that because I am preggo. So there we go - a little work rant. I am sure you can appreciate it seems to be taking up a lot of my thoughts atm.

Anyway that was my bit of work related activity for the day! Now on to doing something nice in the sunshine. How lovely is the weather! I am building my chicken fencing even higher, getting my veggie plot ready and generally surveying moy land, in a very farmer giles kind of way. Anyone remember Viz? Red skoy at night, gerroff moy land!

Hi all. There's a bit too much poo on this thread at the moment for someone who's permanently queasy. I only have to read about the dogs' poo-eating habits or ski's teaspoon suggestion of today to turn a delicate shade of green. Thanks for helping me be aware of my early symptoms! I have been browsing the mat clothes (thanks for the link!) but I don't think I'll need those for quite a while yet...

I am feeling a bit generally nauseous as I said (though no puking) and boob growth and pain have also kicked in. This is good, as it is helping me to break my peestick habit. I'm glad to hear the hunger is normal Silver. It's mad! And I keep dozing off on the sofa every night at about 10. Boyfy is bemused. I don't mind, but it is a bit boring!

I have my first scan this day week. Counting down to that at the mo...Might all start to seem a bit more real then.

carrots - love the slinky story. That gave me a smile.

Anyway, back to work. I have LOADS to do, having spent several days researching midwives and scans and so on in a diligent manner. Time to emerge from the haze before my boss comes back

PS - Cos that black and white top is lovely. I had noted it! Though as I say, it would be officially mad for me to begin these purchases now.

pandora No butter. It's high in Vitamin A and because it comes from animals you're at risk from e-coli, strep, toxoplasmis, foot & mouth, leprosy and shingles. Honey is just asking for allergies you vile woman. Your baybee will be born with two heads. Fact.

Could you not help people check in? E.g., did you pack this case yourself sir? Really? G'wan, be honest - your wife did it for you didn't she sir? Your "secretary", will you be requiring "privacy".

I never had you down as a Viz girl. You'll upset Millie Tant with all your H&H shiz.

switty 10pm? Wtf are you? Superwoman or something? 10 is just pure luxury - you must have the strength of an Ox!
