Here we go again. I think the last thread was the quickest ever, so this one probably won't even get to Halloween, but we shall see!

Loving this title Fluffy!

AceyMac13 · 29/09/2018 19:59

Evening!
Thanks for the new thread fluffy!

Caught up mostly with the last thread, that Christmas shop looked awesome fluffy.

I’ve got terrible baby brain so I apologise if I miss anyone out 😂 every day this week I managed to leave my keys in the front door on the outside without realising 😂

Philomena they are so cute! I did think about just telling people but I like to keep my big family in anticipation for a wee while longer 😂

Mrs - that article makes so much sense, thank you for posting that! It definitely describes what I have to a tee; just need to suffer for another 25 weeks then 😂 I love the gender scratch cards, I love that people can pick what they think and then find out whether they are right or not. I feel blessed to be able to find out the gender and have all these scans that let me see my wee miracle.

Went to Morrison’s with my brothers earlier, ended up hiding behind the trolley when I saw my baby daddy ex walking by! People looked at me like I was insane, I don’t care 😂

My house is all packed up apart from the essentials, it looks so bare!
Everyone on here eats such lovely food, all I want at the moment is junk 😂

Right time to soak in the bath and hopefully catch up on some sleep! Picking up some baby items tomorrow so need to be refreshed!

Have a grand evening all :)

Mrsmadevans · 29/09/2018 20:16

You are very welcome Acey m'dear, as for you avoiding your ex , he should be avoiding you m'dear, his actions are nothing short of selfish and he should be ashamed of himself.
I think it will be a much happier world for you and the baby when you go back home Flowers . As a mum of 2 DDs round about your age, l know l would want you home with the family to help you and the baby Smile (and to have loads of cuddles and cwtches) Smile

Hello! Xmas Grin

BBTHREE76 · 29/09/2018 20:50

Thread 7 already! 🙀

Currently tucked up in bed with stomach pains and a headache and hoping the Chrimbo chatter will give me a happy distraction so painkillers can kick in. Xx

GinFuzzy · 29/09/2018 21:01

Peers round door....

I've just switched the X Factor off, it's absolutely terrible.

Mrsmadevans · 29/09/2018 21:10

PSB hellooooooo Xmas Grin (said like Leslie Phillips lol in my dreams lol ) Xmas Grin

BB where have you been, what have you been doing to be getting terrible tummy/headache m'dear! Hope you feel better very soon Flowers

Mrsmadevans · 29/09/2018 21:11

Gin ....l know and l love Robbie & his Mrs and l can't even watch THEM on it Xmas Grin

Mrsmadevans · 29/09/2018 21:13

Talking about Leslie Phillips, have just discovered he is still alive ....94 years young ! Xmas Grin

Redgreencoverplant · 29/09/2018 21:14

Thanks for the new thread. Just watching SCD on delay :)

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/09/2018 21:15

New Thread Xmas Grin

Just got back from Costco (again Grin I went yesterday ) with DH and DD , I saw a jacket for DH and made him go in to try it on today.

Did some pootling round Lakeside then home.

We are a SCD /X-Factor Free Home here , DH is wayching some weirdy horror series .

I'm prepping the small bedroom for my guinea-pigs to come indoors (usually not till Guy Fawkes but it's getting cold and they're all getting on a bit , Bless 'Em)

Seafoodeatit · 29/09/2018 21:48

Acey How many days to go? I love moving around, I always have itchy feet so I'll live my excitement through you!

BB3 Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, I hope you feel better soon. In the meantime put on some christmas music and talk christmas with us :)

Gin That's how I've always felt! I actually dread visiting parents & IL's during weekends as I know it'll be on tv lol The only contestanty shows we watch are apprentice and bake off, I sometimes watch masterchef - the normal chef one to play bingo - Sous vide! have a biscuit, Veloute - Another biscuit, fondant potatoes! and so on Grin

70 I'm feeling jealous! I'd love to go to costo, never been but the idea of massive sized boxes fills me with more joy then it probably should! What did you buy?

AceyMac13 · 30/09/2018 02:19

Well this is a glorious time to be wide awake 😂

Mrs - that’s very true, he should definitely be ashamed of himself. It’s mind blowing just how selfish he is being, but he is the one who has to sleep at night knowing he walked away from his child for no good reason, that guilts on him!
Thank you for your kind words mrs, I agree, it will definitely be a much happier world and experience when I’m back home. I can’t wait to raise my baby surrounded by the people who mean everything to me, In the place I love and grew up in, the only place I could ever call home. I read threads on mumsnet about families not getting on, and I feel so humble and blesssd to have the most wonderful support network, I truly wouldn’t be half the person I am today without them :) this baby will be so spoilt when he or she arrives and inundated with cuddles 😁 your DD’s are very lucky to have you, you’re clearly a fantastic mum 😊

BB - I hope you manage to get a good nights sleep and that you feel better soon Flowers

Seafood - just 12 days to go, I fly home at 06.30am on the 12th, sooo excited 😁

70 - very jealous of your Costco trip, I’ve never been but would love to go!

I just woke up from a very weird dream, my birthday is Christmas Eve (what a time to be born, I know 😂) and I had a dream that I was turning 68 and my baby was now an adult?! 😂 just checked the calendar to make sure I’ve not skipped 40 years of my life, nope, definitely only turning 28 this year 😂

Must try and get back to sleep, this sleep deprevafion is clearly sending me a little loopy 😂

Good morning / good night 😁

Morning! Woken up by my lovely app again. I'm the only one awake. 😆

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/09/2018 06:06

Yes, he's the Sorting Hat in Harry Potter Mrs! I was wracking my brains thinking "not Denholm Elliott but sounds similar", googled and it was him! If only he'd have just said "ding dong!" I'd have got it! 😂

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/09/2018 06:10

Ooh, forgot to mention, Sainsbury's are bringing in their Christmassy chocolates and snacks! I really want some Wensleydale and cranberry crisps! 😋

NoWordForFluffy · 30/09/2018 08:07

I need to buy such things nearer the time else we'd keep eating them! 🐷
