iggy My mum was puking until 28 weeks.

switty Ik heb geen spataders op mijn vagina of anus. I don't think so anyway.

OK, so my funnee of this morning. I was just taking the dogs out for a walk when I bumped in to the home help from next door. We got chatting and she told me that she was going to be a grandma in November and that her daughter was going for her 12 week scan today. She then mentioned that she was psychic and could read people's auras etc., etc. I mentioned that I was having my baybee in July. She hadn't know. She's psychic and I'm 28 weeks pregnant - stood right in front of her. How could she NOT know?

lol, not that great a pyschic then!!

Not very psychic, not even very observant

I can only assume Julian was blocking her channels or something! She then went on to tell me that she felt he wasn't Downs.

I fear switty haz outed herself as a non-believer with her Badminton comment.

Queen's day celebrations have started up already - I can hear music pumping out from the town square... the big party starts at midnight!

I did wonder. Then I wondered if she was being extremely clever with a little joke. (There you go Switty, a get-out clause )

Someone once told me they thought a horse was possibly good enough to go to Wimbledon

PMSL

I live V close to Bramham. We should have a next-summer Bramham day out

Turned out that the lady who cleaned for me for a few years, about 6 years ago (when I was married to someone with money ) was a BHS I, and had hit a few cocks ridden at Badminton several times! Total respect. Good cleaner, too! She started training me and she was gooood.

She'd also ridden Bramham and told me about the routes/lines through the course - things you'd never expect by looking at a specific jump. Incredeebal.

Anyone doing Olympia this year BTW? Or are you all hard eventers and not into softie showjumping? I've never seen the Puissance live and would LOVE to see it.

iggs I am now picturing horses on centre court.

rots You are so on for Bramham next year. We took the foal last year and she loved it.

I was definitely not being clever with a little joke and all of this whole badminton/unbeliver thing is completely over my head...Sorry, but is badminton a code-word for something else? I really DO love actual badminton and quite a keen player. Is that wrong?

Have re-read.
Badminton is a place.

Clearly (idiot).

Is it perhaps a place where you ride/race horses?

Thick thick.

But the horsey world is a closed book to me.

You weren't to know, and it's very naughty of us to laugh.

Badminton Horse Trials = THE big horsey event of the year. We are all jealous of boxy as she is going along to watch. The rest of us have to watch on tv.

I bet I live nearest to Bramham out of all of you

witty no reason why you should know what badminton is - you are just unlucky to be on a thread full of horse people It's an international horse event - the top competition in the UK for a branch of horse riding called eventing.

I'm back. Baby is fine and scan showed growing well - measuring as 28-29 weeks and I am 28+1. Placenta also fine, and not losing any blood. . Thrush suspected to have caused last week's bleed confirmed and pessary duly handed over .

And we haz new issue, which means being handed over to new special consultant and another scan at 34 weeks (June 14) and possibly no water birth but must play it by ear.
Me being on steroids for RA means my body might not produce enough natural steroids and I might need hydrocortisone injections, which would mean definite consultant unit birth and no chance of playing in water and being wheeled along the corridor if it all goes tits up. Need to google what it all means.

No pics from scan. Boo! Her head is down, spine curves along right side of bump, bum top right and legs over to the left. Judging by her movements, she has strong hands and head! Was feeling nothing on the feet side, but they would have been behind the placenta.

The Puissance? Sounds like a chick rock band. Are they any good carrots?

cossie Well in that case you had better join us next year too! It's a great day out, even for the non-horsey. And you can amuse yourself by imagining yourself negotiating the water complex on your bike.

Yay curly! Lovely, lovely news - apart from the thrush bit obv. I love the way you've described her position.

Egads - what to do now? Do I sit in front of the telly watching Badminton or go to the ODE here and eat hot dogs and chips?

When I was younger I loved the Puissance, not so keen anymore. I saw half of it live but we had to leave for last train home so don't remember who won - it was 21 years ago I was there or so. Isn't the gymkhana version called "Chase me Charlie" or something like that?

yay for scanz, boo for new ishooos

Ah yes, eventing. Hmmm. Well, it sounds lovely. I was a bit amazed at how warmly everyone else seemed to be responding to Boxy's badminton comment too. I was starting to think we all liked badminton (the game) and that there was a whole new sporting area for us to bond over. Just me then?

Anyway, now I'm out, I may as well come right out and say it: I've never ridden a horse in my life. I was more a ballet/ music/ drama kinda gal back in the day and the opportunity never really came my way as an adult. Oh well. Can I still stay?

We're still all pregnant anyway. I shall hold on to that.

caspy! Glad for the good news but sorry for complication. Is it just lucky that they picked this up today, or would they have picked it up anyway?

haha I was going to say - cossie will turn up on her bike and show everyone up! Cossie I hope you have a lovely, lovely, lovely few days away - and er... do enjoy pissing in that lemonade bottle. Nutter.

Sorry for double post. internet connection a bit crap sometimes...

Wtf? I haz just checked BBC schedule for this weekend and it's all cocking football & snooker!

Curls so glad the scan was good, but soz about the new issues to be dealing with...

You haven't missed anything at all on the thread by the way, so no need to read back.

switty - you're not alone, curly and VAG are also "theatrical".
