Thought someone had better do it! Hope titles OK?

Huge congrats again Gruff

i know nat lol being abit of a worrier.
did you get anything exciting in town
have decided we are going to walk up to next near me about 30 min walk to have a look.

You want a list? (See AN thread for the main thing )

I got DS1 some stationary stuff (he is going through a phase at the moment!), got DS2 a truck thing with a digger on the back of it, and a couple of books, got DH a cushion with 'Dad's chair, any cash found down the back of it is mine' on it, and for the house me I got some different paint for the bathroom because I don't like the one we used for it, and some new mugs, and the inevitable apple danish But they are soooooo yum!

Lack of symptoms is nothing to worry about, just gloat about!!

Hi Playing, good to hear from you, and glad thaqt MS is (possibly) tapering off. Think at this stage it starts to decrease for most people anyway, as placenta starts to take over .
GYO, must be nice to have a super-positive dh - I'm sure all is fine too - those symptoms sound classic first trimester to me!
Nat - wow,you must have a big basket under your buggy to fit that lot in! Sounds a very productive shopping trip.
Tinks - any nice bits in Next? Had a flick through the new directory yesterday and nearly broke my wrist! I remember the days when they were the size of a glossy magazine!
Had my free fancy clearblue digital in post (that trial that mumsnet and clearblue were promoting). Not at all sure about it, as it has a conception bit that indicates (if you're pregnant) how pregnant you are (I guess by measuring hcg levels). Can you imagine how anxious that would make me??!!!What if it indicates you're less pregnant that you think, or you test again a few weeks later and level of pregnancy stays same?? I think the one thing I loved about CB digis was that there was no fretting over the darkness of line - just a simple line. Think I'll avoid after I've done the trial one!
Out tonight for an Indian with dh and some friends, so giving the girls and early tea to give me time to get glammed up .
Will pop in over the weekend hopefully...arghh thunder storm just started!!!

Hi Diege

Thanks for the re-assurance.
Have a lovely indian meal out. Sounds like fun.

Nope, buggy basket is always full of jackets and socks and work that DS1 brings home from school and never sees the light of day again! I have proper handles so it all hangs off them, hence why I couldn't fit on the first bus!

Those tests sound very fancy, agree though they could cause an awful lot of upset over nothing. I am surprised they can tell off the level of hcg, IIRC there is a very varied amount of HCG that still add up to a viable pregnancy, some people's hcg will not just double in 48 hours but could triple.

It is storming here as well, so much for the nice sunny day!

Beware rant alert!!!!!

I am so annoyed today. I spent £120 on my Neucal (sp?)and bloods as we had to go private (Not available on NHs here until 20 weeks). I had it done on Tuesday and was told to call today for results. I have called 3 times today I was firstly told to call back as blood results are not in yet (that was a 10 this morning) then I was told to call back at 3 as they were having technical difficulties. Now I have been told to call back Monday as they are having new software installed on their computers and so can not give results.

This has made me so angry. They were quick enough to take the money, and now I have to worry all weekend. They should have had the software updated on a weekend when they are not open. I just hope the results are correct when I get them on Monday....

Sorry to moan I was just so looking forward to putting it all to bed today!!!!

Then walked in the door this afternoon (already angry re above) and found the gas and electric bill on the mat. Gas £50 cool I think much better than I was expecting. Electric bill £590.... What the fuck...... Try to call dp no answer... Try to call my dad, (don?t know what he could do!!) no answer so put dd in cot and call gas board... They put me on hold for 30 minutes while I wait for a representative.... I work my self into a state in this time. So by the time a representative answers I am crying my eyes out and pleading for help (not a good look for a grown woman)... Anyway I ask him to send someone straight out as I think there is either fault on my meter or the neighbours have wired up their houses to my electric.... (I really am hysterical- we only have a 2 bedroomed house).. He manages to calm me down and talked my through a few things... It transpires the meter was read incorrectly and the reader gave the total used as the day reading...... Actual bill is £78.......

After I put phone down I went all dizzy and threw up everywhere. DP has come home now and said " you silly mare it was obviously a mistake why did you get so wound up you could of damaged the baby."....... I tell you there is no compassion around here anymore...

I got one of the fancy clearblue ones and it said pregnant within about 30secs and then also said i conceived 2-3wks ago which is when i expected anyway!! though so nice to know I'm not 'imagining' lines!!!

We took the kids to camelot theme park today which wa slots of fun... DH went on all the rides with the DC's which was good!!

Bloody hell LB, are you OK now?

What a piss take with the results, that is not on. I think I'd put in a formal complaint, they would have known on Tuesday that the computers would be down on Friday for something like new software. Still I expect by now the results woul dhave been under an experts nose and if there had have been anything untoward I am sure they would have let you know.

And that bill I'd have been the same as you! And it wouldn't damage the baby at all, so don't worry about that. Over the next few days try to do something that you really love doing, the 'good' hormones will (and do apparently) even out the 'bad' stressy hormones.

Shitty day eh? Have a wrinkly bath and eat chocolate after you've finished work, let yourself relax.

Glask, day sounds good

Thanks NJ it started off as such a nice day as well..... I am going to have a nice long hot bath tonight and having an early night....

No early nights for us tonight, t'is Friday - EVICTION!!!

Have you voted NJ????/

Nooooo, I save my pennies till the final and then spend all night doing it LOL

It will be very interesting to see who goes tonight, I think it will a close run thing, I don't think either of them have done anything to either deserve to stay or go.

((((( shhhhhhhh dont tell anyone but I watch it at 8 in the mornings when DD is having her breakfast))))))))

nat - u did very well shopping good girl

i must have missed him doing that then
i think he is genuinly a nice guy and just happens to be hot
what r ur thoughts on the others?!

darnell - too agressive and annoying looks alot better and less scary with no hair

mo - quite defensive and rude

mickey - annoying and way too harsh as head of house with the water throwing

rachel - dull and too nice

cat - abit mad but ok

lisa - nice looks like carol voderman perhaps she could take over on countdown lol

sarah - cool

rex - hate so up himself, never happy

nicole - dont like same as rex

What do you all think of Rex???? And does anyone else think Nicole looks like the mermaid (darrel hanner) in splash....

cross post lb must be on the same wave length

x-posted with LB and missed loads while been msn'ing.... sorry to hear of your horrid day LB.

darnell - OK but takes to much to heart.

mo - rude and gready

mickey - annoying, and a back stabber.

rachel - snore.... sorry wake me up

cat - really like her... Mad as a hatter

lisa - Total fruit loop. I bet she has seen little green men (in her padded cell)

sarah - dont like her since she has been leading darnel on. And boy did she lead him on..

rex - love it when he takes the piss but he is also an obnoxious (sp?) git

nicole - looks like darrel hanner in splash. I lost all interest in her when she cried for her suitcase.

thanks glask feeling a lot calmer now Just hope baby is ok in there!!!!! I am sure it is so not going to worry to much... CAnt wait to finish today and have a nice long soak..

Rex is the kind of housemate that is good to watch (for the 'OMG I can't believe he just said/did that' aspect), but would be an absolutely nightmare to live with.

Darnell, I think has ishoos, I think he would be quite a good boyfriend, but then also think he may get too controlling for my liking! And I don't like how he sometimes portrays himself as a victim.

Mo, he just fucks me right off, he is a lying greedy bastard ('scuse language, I don't like him!!!)

Mikey, I hate his double standards, I hate the way he gets louder and louder till he is yelling when he is talking, but at times he is quite funny, and although sometimes in a very wierd way (regurgitating sprouts) he does put his all into the tasks, agree he is too hot headed for head of house.

Rachel, not really got an opinion TBH, I think she did some nice things while she was head of house, but I think she may be very clever and did that to get the viewers votes.

Cat, annoyingly nice, another good to watch, awful to live with.

Lisa, she makes me laugh, but at her, not with her, her and Mario, FFS, one more mention of them being experts in life, and health and safety this that and the other.....

Sarah, I like her, but think she is using the blokes to stay in, and I think people are starting to see through this, and I think the blokes are, which isn't going to help her at all.

Nicole, how she puts up with him I don't know, but then how he puts up with her I don't know!

Did I miss anyone out?

I love 'em all really!! LOL

lol thought you said

mo-rude and greasy
