vjay that's exactly what I said to barbie too 
The cardigans sound lovely - my nan used to do something similar for us at christmas and we really looked forward to them (we rarely had new clothes so it was a real treat). Wonderful that you've got a car now, just as its got freezing (even down south - had to de-ice car yesterday). Does that mean you won't be cycling any more??
sabs Eid Mubarak (I am learning...) and wow what fab weight loss!!!! Well done you! Don't worry about the lovely food you are going to eat now - its a special occasion and we all love those. That is why we diet 
barbie I know we chatted - but you must put some pics of dolly in her new shoes when you get a chance. It sounds as though you are having a lovely time even if she isn't taking to bottles still. Make the most of it. What your dr says makes sense - hopefully its just that. Have decided this one is a girl, its causing too much trouble already!!!!
jools hello you - saw that work was mad again - any chance you can move somewhere where you can work normal-ish hours??? Yes I know what you mean about the early weeks of pg, I guess you just have to hang on to the fact that there will (hopefully) be a baby at the end of it. I am still holding out hopes for you
4ever 6 months!! Wow, summer is growing so quickly. Does she like her solids? Wondered about placenta previa but poss too early??? Def not caused by sex - haven't let DH near me for a few weeks and there is no chance at the moment (poor DH he is feeling somewhat deprived)
cupcake looking forward to seeing christening pics when J lets you get back on the computer again. They have a 6th sense you know....How wonderful that he had 4 great-grandparents there, that must be really unusual.
mermaid thanks my love - yes I'm exhausted but very glad to put a on your face
buddha its not easy juggling work and small children I know. Hope the meltdown helped a bit. Sometimes it just needs to be done.
mls must go and peek at the latest pics you've put up on FB. Loved the ones of DD1 playing beauty salon on her little sis 
blue how did the ebaying go? I've got a few bits that I've been meaning to try and sell for a while, including 2 (yes 2) double buggies. May well be asking for tips in the near future....Funnily enough I did a search last week on there for isabella oliver dresses as I was thinking of getting one for work but also have a couple of big parties next year. They seem to go for a lot secondhand though so maybe better ordering a new one and selling it on.
monkey hope the school trip goes well (26 kids - eek!!!) and bless your DS for starting to speak in french.
LBM Thank you for the text - DTs are at the childminders so have had a respite this afternoon. How is little babybelle - has her cough cleared up??
BQ how are you feeling - when I was pg with DTs my symptoms peaked at around 9-10 wks and then started to improve after that. They didn't disappear really until 13-14wks and although I felt pretty rough from 10-14 weeks it wasn't as bad as it had been. I say all this with the hope that you start to feel slightly better in the near future.
moon thank you! How are you feeling at the moment.
curly fab poo story!!!!! Can you believe that we don't go out with wipes anymore (it does happen I promise). I do remember going through tonnes of the bloody things though. Used to wait for deals and bulk buy them - with twins we did that a lot 
.
Hope I haven't missed anyone out (and I'm sorry if I have!)
I've told work what is going on this afternoon and DH told his boss (needed to explain why he had to be at home today). My lovely boss is v excited (more so than me at the moment!) She has 3 DCs (grown up now) and thinks its a lovely number. Should be back at work tomorrow unless I start bleeding again (just bits of brown at the mo). I really don't need any more scares - I think I've really had my share already!!!! I am increasingly looking like a weeble - more so than last time and don't have many clothes that are comfortable to wear, particularly for work. At least I won't have to explain to my boss why I suddenly look so fat. Had grand plans of going swimming/ to the gym this pg to try and keep fit but that is out of the window at the moment.
DS2 seemed ok this morning so was duly packed off to the childminders and nursery. He obviously hasn't thrown up again otherwise we would have been called. Feel slightly guilty as he's not supposed to go for 2 days after he's been sick but it seemed to be a one-off.
That's quite enough from me I think!!!
