Due Feb '06 into the 2nd Trimester we go

[TicTac]

Hi Ladies,
As per post last night, we have lost a member because she is unable to post to the old thread... I hope you are all ok moving over here!

Tabs what is a CAT?

anyone watch LOST last night? I should be working but am instead on the Telly Addicts threads...addictive!

Teuch - I should be working to but I am easily distracted today.. I watched most of it but fell asleep for the last half hour. I think DH taped it though so I might watch it later....gutted though, he tricked me, he said there was nothing else on so I missed Holby!!

TicTac - it's Contact Another Talker (button for it in the menu at the top of the screen). You'll get an e-mail from mumsnet with my message, and giving you my e-mail address so that you can reply if you want. I assumed that this was how you'd traced Hotmama last week, but obviously not! On your profile you specify whether you will accept CATs or not, but I didn't get a reject message, so you must have it set to accept. Takes a little while to come through though as MN Towers like to read it first to make sure there's nothing dodgy in it!

Should of course have answered first with 'it's a small fluffy animal, sometimes kept as a pet'

Oh Tabs...that is how I contacted hotmama1 but I never realised that's what it was called...if you know what I mean!!!

Pregnancy brain eh?

LOL...don't joke...I am an intelligent, hard working, logical, methodical, spirited Project Manager......OR AT LEAST I WAS!!!!!

I have got some horrid crampy stuff today....anyone else?

Not crampy as such, but do feel a bit achey round my middle. Don't suppose sitting hunched up on a living room chair at my laptop all day really helps!

What sort of projects do you manage TicTac - IT, building, ???

Tabs - Business development/ Business Change projects. Well I do at the minute...being made redundant next year as BG are closing their offices and moving to India...

Of course - knew I knew something about your job but couldn't remember what it was! So do you reckon you'll look for something else after your mat leave, or will you become a SAHM?

I will be looking for something else. I am afraid we can not afford for me to be a SAHM, I am the major bread winner in our house...plus I have a need to work. I may well contract or even set up my own business. I'll just see if there are any offers on the table before I make any decisions but I guess looking for work while preg is not the best thing I could do I intend to take what I can from my mat package....which isn't that bad

To anyone in the North (Manchester/ Leeds etc) there is a thread trying to plan a Christmas meet up North Christmas Meet

I woudl like to go but would feel better if I "knew" someone....

would love to go, but sadly am not from that way.

Oh just a flying hi to all! been on the Notts meet up today, which turned out to be nice and sunny (surprise! no hat or suncream packed, doh, crap mummy, thank gaw'd for other prepared mums eh!) with great activities for the kids as well, as cutting, drawing, etc thing going on at the Castle, so actually spent more time chasing dd around than chatting to other mums, but there you go!
Happy to say only one minor whift of sickness tonight, nothing all day, wooo hooooo, even treated myself to a bacon double cheeseburger, as near BK! yikes......

Hi Frizbe...chuffed you had a good time...there might be a northern meeting on the 3rd December, I was thinking about going...sounds like it might be good.

Oh go you'll have loads of fun! how far north is it tho? maybe too far for me to trek?!

Manchester or Leeds...would be great if you came! I put a link on here earlier if you want to have a look?!?!

Just thought I'd come on and do a big woohoo!

12 weeks today, and not been sick all week!!

Morning everyone,

Been off work past couple of days - decided to ring midwife re the lower abdominal cramps and she sent me straight to A&E! It all went a bit mad from there, they were concerned because my cat had scratched me and they ended up doing blood tests,urine tests, internals (most painful internal I have ever had in my life!), put a cannula in my hand and wheeled me off to the ward! I was sh*tting myself by this point wondering what the hell was happenening considering I had only rung up for some advice! Everything is fine though and am just waiting on the test results to rule out any infection, when you want the hospital to take you seriously you feel like you are trying to get blood out of stone and when you don't expect it all the surgeons come rushing!!

Very sad news about Babylily.

TicTac, I have joined the link you put on regarding the Leeds/Manchester night - I'd be up for it so you will have another 14weeker with you.

Hi Girls!

!4 +4 for me and although much better ( I am human again) I am still sick and wretchy! Kids driving me nuts and i mean nuts -moving house - dh never home - packing for holiday - two teenage style children - one sulky 8 year old and a wild toddler!!!

And its P8SS*&^ it down here in not so sunny yorkshire. I am 7 miles from harrogate - re bestplaces to live- yes its lovely but it rains a lot!

Sounds like toddler has just dropped breakfast so better go!

Love
M

Forgot to mention the constipation!!!! Drinking some revolting califig - syrup of figs - takes takes and then works -- big time!!!

Not sure which is worse!!!
