Hi all

Mum and dad coming to help me do hanging baskets and plant tomato plants.

The Apprentice-ooh er!

CD8 so time to start weeing on OV sticks in preparation.

Waves to everyone. Back later.

Oh soz AF showed willmouse but I found after TTC for a year I changed Branches of the Bank so much happier with things and fell PG that month. Hope this is the same for you, I used to be an avid BB fan but the last few years have made me yawn a tad. Will catch some episodes at the start then tend to watch the last few weeks once the dross has been eliminated.

The Apprentice was fab wasn't it? I think Siralan can't choose between Claire and Alex and as he splits them up next week, he doesn't have to make the decision does he? Mmmmmm...Alex....mmmmmm

As for BB - I used to watch it every series but it is just SO time-consuming and I just got fed up with the complete show-offs who got on so I didn't watch it last series and I won't be watching this one either!

Willmouse - sorry your AF turned up and I hope this cycle is a 'normal' one for you. Glad the job is going well - sounds quite interesting!

Will try and catch up properly later but need to go and do some work.

Well, I have had an enlightening day with DS1's teacher. She has told me that the reason he behaves the way he does because he is very intellingent and doesn't have the social skills or maturity to deal with it. And he can read - albeit only 3 letter words but I very proud of him!

I may frame this posting so I can look back on it next time he is in disgrace! (probably tomorrow - it is class photo day LOL!)

Off to work in a min.......hope you all have a good evening!

ceebee, I'm going to have to disagree with you about Alex. There's something that really gets on my nerves about him. I know he's good looking, but he just doesn't do it for me, and I hate the way he kept going on about being 24 and how he went to private school for 14 years - is he claiming he got a better education than anyone who didn't go to private school? Sorry, teachers ranting is never good! Also, he gets so defensive and also tries to stitch everybody else up. As you may hae gathered, I am not his biggest fan, so really hoping he doesn't win!!

Well I survived the farm!! Made sure that I didn't touch any animals (apart from a rabbit) so should be ok. Don't think that I made anyone suspicious as when it came to feeding the animals I volunteered to look after the ones that didn't want to get in the pens to do it!

Very tired though as is dd so hopefully early nights all round today then!

Sorry Af has showed willmouse, but at least you know where you are again now. Well done your ds! That is brilliant! Sounds like the job is going well too - hopefully things on the up in the willmouse house!

Oh HC - getting to your 'John Wayne' time of the month (do you think we should officially rename it lol!) Hope you got your hanging baskets done.

Waves at Soosy - hope things are ok with you. Wher are you in the 2ww?

Dh away tonight so may have a peek at BB, although have not watched the last 2 series as got a bit predictable and boring, but depending on whether I am still awake or not .......

Majormoo - glad the scan went well. Another milestone reached eh?

First milestone for me tomorrow - 3.20pm so fingers crossed beanie in the right place this time!

I don't watch the apprentice so can't comment on any of that

Willmouse - sorry AF showed up. That was a very short cycle wasn't it? Hope this month brings you happiness (in whatever form it may be!). Also WOW about your ds! That must make it easier when he's naughty - you can just say "oh it's because he's soooo clever" really loud! Yes - remember this day!

Juanitad - how's the pg? Have you told many people at school yet? When will you tell the kids or won't you?

ceebee - I also find BBrother to be full of exactly the kind of people I try to avoid, so don't plan on watching it!. DP says he wants to so I may end up seing a few but God knows why?!?!? How's beanie today?

HC - go get peeing girl! Hope you are feeling enthusiastic ready for BD days! Did you have fun doing the hanging baskets?

Hi to everyone else...not sure where you all are today!

I have had a good day, no sickness and not too tired for once! (although boobs/nipples killing) pmsl! Played my usual Thursday rounders match and was very wary of getting hit in the stomach and not running too fast!
I was looking at those 4D scans on the internet today. Has anyone had one? Is it worth the money? (about £95-£190 depending on how many pics/DVD's/info you want)??? Just curious
CE xx

Bellie - typed at same time as you! Really really really good luck for tomorrow. I will be thinking all my best positive thoughts for you.

Bellie good luck tomorrow
Willmouse glad the new job is going well. Hope your body settles down next month! And fab that you have a child genius.
Soosy hope you are feeling brighter

HC you sound like you are in a better mood-hope so. Good luck for this month.

mandy you never know-it may have worked. fingers crossed.

CE glad you are feeling OK. Personally would not have a 4D scan but that is only because in our pregnancy that went pearshaped I had to spend ages in a 4D scanning room. This was all for their research which I agreed to, as it is obviously really important, but would not fancy doing it again. So saying, if you are having one for

As for Big Brother, I used to love it, but it has got dull recently. Still, I will watch it tonight. In fact I will probably ending up watching it upstairs as I will get so fed up of endless footie from Saturday! No fun for me without England, but DH will still really enjoy it.

Had some drama today. DD's school called for us to pick her up as she fell over and split her lip on a wheelbarrow! They could not stop the bleeding. She looked so fragile when I picked her up-sitting there with a really bloody mouth and bloody tissues in her hands. Took her to A and E, and it was all a bit gory-as she opended her mouth lots of clots came out (sorry if TMI but it reminded me for those with kids, on a smaller scale, of clots after giving birth)Anyway they sorted her out and all OK now, but what a way to spend an afternoon

Juanitad I am with you on Alex. Do not like him at all. And Ceebee-usually we agree on men too!! Not sure I want any of them left to win really.

Hi all,

Was adamant I would not watch Big Bro this year - I used to watch it religiously, but finally managed to give it up last year, and was soooo glad that I did! However I think I may be in danger today. DH (the voice of reason) is away tonight, and I can see myself just flicking on to C4 later, to see them going in, then no doubt I will get hooked. Will really try to resist the urge!!!

CE - staff at school all in the know now. Am not going to tell the kids, am going to let them work it out for themselves. It's a bit of a tricky one really, isn't it? Telling all the kids, would involve me telling 10 different classes, but it will soon be ovious anyway. In fact for the first time today, I wore a top that looks like a maternity top (although it isn't in fact) - and there were certainly a lot of looks from the kids. I reckon it will take a few days for them to pluck up the courage to ask, but I'll be glad when it's common knowledge!

Bellie, lots of luck for scan tomorrow!

er not sure what happened with my post-CE I meant to say of you had a 4D scan for fun you can see everything which could be very exciting

Majormoo - I am surprised you don't like Alex but I guess that just leaves him for me

Bellie - good luck tomorrow - will have my fingers crossed for you.

CE - I am not keen on the 4D scans at all tbh as they freak me out - but that is just a personal thing. I can't look at the photos or anything

Willmouse - that sounds lovely about your DS - no wonder you are proud of him!

Juanitad - stay away from the remote cos once you have watched BB, you won't be able to escape!

My mum has just rung and asked if I could get DS's 9-12 month clothes ready for her to pick up next week to take to my brother, as they are going to visit him next weekend, whose DS is only 6 months old ! Apparently he is growing out of the 6-9 month ones already! The worst thing is DS is still in his 12-18 months clothes so in a couple of months, I suspect his cousin who is 16 months younger than him will be the same size and it will be my brother lending clothes to us !

Oh Ceebee! DS has a cousin like that, we just don't pass anything on anymore!

Bellie good luck with your scan tomorrow, I hope you see you little bean(s) just in case!

Willmouse Child genius brillant, how old is he? sorry about af, but like HC says the new job may be the stress buster.

CE I didn't want a 4D scan either, apparently it shows you exactly what they look like and as I had found his sex I wanted something to be a surprise! Also you have to be careful when you do it, too early you won't see enough and too late you can't fit the baby on the screen.

Juanita, BB can be useful during breastfeeding at night! I have friends who watch it only when they were pg and feeding!

Majormoo hope DD ok, sounds horrid.

HC time for peeing again, good luck!

Mandy, LOL about Mr Wayne! I have a hugely funny picture of you and you DH!

Am feeling a bit better today, still look four months pg, trying to hide it under clothes, just don't want anyone to ask if I am pg. Have also had a bit more spotting yesterday and today, so not feeling v optimistic. I did a HPT, which was very stupid, as it is too early even for a first response, and negative, I am desperate for an answer. Am thinking of my next cycle, and maybe using another clinic.

Love to everyone i have missed.

Evening all

Am officially knackered-have been in the garden all day and ended up cutting the grass so finished at 6-20pm. The girls were so good waiting patiently for me. We all jumped in the bath then I got tea ready. Hanging baskets look lovely and have lots of tomato plants potted up.

Good news-the company wanting to buy 50% of FIL's company doesn't even have the cash! Stoopid lot! Phewee anyway-although some git broke into the compound last night and stole some alloy wheels. DH has spotted a rogue van tonight and called the police but doubt anything can be done about it.

soosy-naughty, naughty doing an HPT. Don't blame you though. Hope it turns +ive in the end.

ceebee-you and I really don't share the same taste in men. Alex is very slimey.

majormoo-poor little DD. Hope her lip doesn't hurt too much in the morning-bless.

Bellie-roll on 3-20pm. Why are scans always so late in the day? Good luck! Like the John Wayne time of the month.

ChocEclair-I would love a 4D scan but simply can't afford one.

willmouse-I believe that DD1 has the same problem in that she is naughty due to being quite avancded for her age. It is good to hear that about DS1.

Am waffling now so waves to everyone else.

Soosy - you know that patience is a virtue and if MJIM was around, she would have slapped your hand for doing the test The clothes issue would be ok but my brother and his gf have very little money so have been relying on DS's clothes rather than having to buy their own and it looks like that is going to be their only option unless my Ds has a sudden growth spurt!

HC - Alex is not slimey, he is yummy! Oh no, I forgot, you prefer Sayid over Sawyer - why why why?? Did you not watch it on Sunday when Sawyer came out of the sea topless????

x

LOL Ceebee, my DS says that rhyme he loves the bit that goes, Grace was a dirty girl who didn't wash her face. My mother used to tell it to me. I know I know MJIM will be sorely disappointed with me I am going to sit at the back of the class and keep very quiet. I have learnt my lesson.

ceebee-I have to rely on downloading Lost from Limewire so have only just watched the episode where Jack has his appendix removed. No Sayid in that one and I watched it in the caravan on my laptop hoping for a glimpse to brighten my day.

Very impressive post mjim!! I don't know how you remember what everyone has said, your replies are always so personal - I need to get my act together!!

MJIM that was a very impressive post as Juanitad says. Your pregnancy is flying by

OH Ceebee-I cannot believe I am missing Sawyer coming out of the water with his top off. damn.

HC you sound like you have a very impressive garden

DD seems OK today-although lip still swollen. She has gone into school and they have not called so hope all OK.

Told a friend today my news and she said 'well I had noticed you had put on weight.' Great

Hello all,

It has been my day off today and I have been busier than if I had been working , but nevermind, I have finally managed to put my bum on a seat LOL!

DS1 is currently 15 miles away manipulating my parents. Mum just phoned to say they would be late as they are on the way to the shops to buy him some Doodles....grrrrrr... quote "the poor thing has been clumping around all day in those heavy trainers (Cica so not heavy at all) so we thought he needed something better" bloody mother . I did point out to her that when they picked him up it was overcast hence him not having his sandals on, she then pointed out that even if he did have his sandals on they are "very open" and aparently "not suitable" - the real reason is that she knows I recently spent £57 on shoes for DS2 - one of which was a pair of doodles - and DS1's are from George . DH will go nuts - they seem to blatantly spoil DS1 - he thinks they prefer him (which I'm sure they don't).

Sorry girls, rant over! I missed a trick really - I should have said while they were there could they also buy him a pair of smart sandals for his holiday......

Actually I can't wait to see what they come back with - he's a bugger! He will want Geox or similar.

Well, I did watch BB last night and must admit I am quite interested to see what happens. I think they are taking the whole political correctness thing a bit too far but hey - it's entertainment! I think I may have to watch for a while to see how it goes!

No other news here, I have been far too busy.

I am on a paediatric first aid course tommorow so will catch up when I can.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!!

Afternoon all! It's Friday again! yeay!

Bellie - if you're there. Hope the scan went OK! Come and let us know that beanie is in the right place!

willmouse - I managed not to watch BB. I watched child of our time discussion thing instead (very educational) but fell asleep half way through! Grrr about your parents though! . Why would they prefer one ds to another though? A bit odd?

Majormoo - glad you dd's lip is feelng better . Hope you are having a nicer day today.

MJIM - your ds remains very cute, with him kissing bump and stuff! Glad you are getting round! LOL! I can't wait to be even slightly round! Bet you are looking forward to your holiday soon.

soosy/mandy - when is 2ww over?

Hi to HC, ceebee, HM2J and everyone else.

I had a bit of a panic last night as suddenly started feeling a bit strange, and was worried about still being pg. Can't really explain it...just odd feeling really. I managed to do another test today and still strong +ve so hopefully it's just me being silly. Thanks for the thoughts on the 4D scan. I think we might go for it if we reach that stage.

Going to have a really relaxing weekend not doing much! I can't wait!

willmouse-grrhh at your mum. Sort of thing my MIL would do.

Bellie-any news?

Forgot to watch BB as it is usually on a Friday-doh!

Hi girls,

sorry for keeping you in suspense - internet playing up and parents here so not much chance.

But beanie in the right place (only one) and a heartbeat!! I am so relieved. I know it is a long way to go yet, but this was the first milestone.

Hope everyone is ok - have read posts but internet keeps crashing so will post this one so you all know what is going on!

Try and get on again tomorrow!
