Sounds good Lardy . I've heard Leed's castle is brilliant.
Well I've burnt my chips but I won't be defeated and have put a second batch in the oven

Diege · 26/09/2008 20:26

Morning!

Been lurking on phone as still no laptop.

Diege - was meant to move yesterday but in the end exchanged yesterday (yay!) and will move Thurs.

Off into work now and then 2 weeks off for the move

Scan is Monday morning and am feeling v scared but I guess it will happen and then I'll know...

Sorry not responded to other people's posts - difficult to scroll and see all on phone. Will try and catch up properly on DH's laptop later.

Morning SES . Great news on finally exchanging! Try and relax over the weekend and celebrate getting over that hurdle . I'm absolutely convinced you will be absolutely fine on Monday, though know how you must be feeling. I suppose you have to think that whether you had an early scan or not (say you changed your mind at the last minute) you would worry. It's going to be incredibly stressful, but the stress would be still be there (if not more prolonged) if you were to wait it out. It's a case of the old 'feel the fear and do it anyway thing', and think how brilliant it will feel after when you see your little bean's heart beating away .
Well I've had an anxious few hours. Stupidly replied to one of those 'phishing' e-mails that I was convinced was a genuine one from paypal . Provided my card details and everything, inc. security thing on back. Did this on Wed, and only clicked yesterday when someone posted about a similar thing on e-bay threads. Have now cancelled card with bank, but without the wisdom of mumsnet I would have been none the wiser.
So no spending for me this weekend (thankfully I did a 'TINK@ and had my shopaholic moment mid-week .
Right, having a celebratory bowl of porridge!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 10:10

Good morning

Nearly posted earlier but would have been another moan so thought I'd leave it, made myself go and tidy up upstairs, and that led to me thinking I might as well do the kitchen while I'm in the mood, so have scrubbed the kitchen from top to bottom, and am now about to polish and hoover the living room, hallway, and the play room, feels good to be doing something other than sat round waiting for the next contraction! Having said that, all the moving about is making them worse but I am so sick of just sitting and trying to not die of boredom rest.

DH is working this morning, at lunch time we are going into town, going to treat the boys to a McD's T'is all LB's fault, mention of burgers had me slavering all over the keyboard! Will get DH to pick us up and then we off to Stockport to buy look at a baby shop...

Tink, the sheets sound like they might be a bit tight, if you are any good at sewing (think you've mentioned before that you are?) you could always add a 'border' to make them a bit bigger. Only a week to go - how exciting!!

Heebee, it is very clever how they work it all out isn't it? Fingers crossed it will all do the job

LB, DS1 when he was younger used to get a rash everytime he was even slightly unwell (cold, sickness bug, head ache, even teething) we were forever backwards and to the docs, I once rang NHS Direct because I was here on my own, the rash came up so quickly and he was lethargic, they sent an ambulance, I did try to tell them that it wasn't the first time he'd had it or anything, but they wouldn't listen. Anyway, hope DD is feeling better today?

Ses, incase I don't get back on before your scan, best of luck sweetie, I am sure it will be fine, will be thinking of you on Monday And a big cheer for finally getting those contracts exchanged!

Diege, what a PITA with the email/cancelled cards, lucky you realising in time though!

Diege · 27/09/2008 10:21

Ooh Nat you are an inspiration . I blame LB too for junk-food fest. I was all set to have my jacket spud and cottage cheese before the burger post .
Your day sounds nice TINKS - I think I run a close second to your spending habits, though you haven't seen me in baby-stuff mode yet .
I'm acutally in two minds about what to do with an Isabella Oliver dress I bought before the MC. It's a winter style, but have been hanging onto it in case I get lucky before, say Xmas. It's still new with tags, so e-bay would be a good option. But then I feel sad about letting it go...pathetic I know. Shall I keep it for a few months?
Right, dh has taken dds out to park, and poor Big Cat is at the vets having blood tests He's lost a lot of weight recently, and a bit worried about him tbh. Must get dressed, speak later x

lardybump · 27/09/2008 10:25

Hello everyone. Dp has taken dd to MIL (aka the witch in law) for the day. No it doesn't matter that she is ill or that she has had me up most of the night !! Bloody men and MIL they are all the pits...

Anyway how is everyone. I am stuck in doors working all day today but I hope you are all able to get out into that lovely sunshine....

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 10:26

Keep the dress, if you get rid of it, and then get pregnant you'll be sorry.

Besides, with the weather so bloody strange at the moment, you could have worn it at anytime over our last two 'summers'!

If you get to the end of the pregnancy and it's not been worn because of weather then sell it then.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 10:28

Morning LB

Take the chance to have a bit of a snooze this afternoon, all work and no sleep play makes for a grumpy LB!

lardybump · 27/09/2008 10:38

ummmm snooze sounds good NJ I will.... (LB wonders how NJ knows I am grumpy???!!!)

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 10:57

It might have been the 'Witch in Law' comment that gave me a clue, or maybe the 'up all night', or maybe 'they are all the pits', at a pinch it could have even been 'stuck in doors working all day'....

Not really sure what gave me the idea that you might be feeling a lot little bit grumpy!

BTW, grumpiness is allowed!

lardybump · 27/09/2008 11:08

Wow NJ can you read palms as well??? he he he. Feeling a bit better now I have just eaten about a ton of chocolate!!! ummmmmmmmmmm

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 11:11

Reading palms I can do, the polishing and hoovering however have gone out of the window. I really shouldn't have sat down!

Might be able to get up to go and get the galaxy.... not sure I can even be bothered to do that

Will send DS1

Diege · 27/09/2008 11:15

You two have made me chuckle
Agree LB, whizz through the work and put your feet up .
Thanks Nat, yes I think I'll keep the dress for now. It's NWT so can always be sold later rather than sooner .

lardybump · 27/09/2008 11:17

Well why else do we have children if not to suply us with chocolate??????? I cant wait until dd is old enought to become my slave!!!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 11:18

What fanjo fart story? No idea what you're talking about...

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 11:18

LOL DS2 bought DH a beer last night, shame it wasn't a cold one out of the fridge!

lardybump · 27/09/2008 11:19

Diege keep the dress you will be up the duff before you know it......

lardybump · 27/09/2008 11:20

LOL I hope your dh drank it after all ds2's effort!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 11:22

No, DH won't touch a warm beer, it has to be ICE cold (literally with little bits of frozen beer floating in it!)

DS2 has time to learn yet

Diege · 27/09/2008 11:28

Nice try Nat...
Thanks LB - hope you're right. I'm seriously broody at the moment!

lardybump · 27/09/2008 11:30

Oh bless him for trying though.... When DD is better I will send her up so your sons can teach her.... Hows that....

NJ you managed to make me smile for a bit then, that was until: DP has just called and said MIL thinks the rash on dd is (or at least looks like) measels. This is dispite the fact that I rushed her to GP yesterday (who would know measels if he saw it)and he said it was nothing to worry about and that she has had the MMR...... I bet he will be thinking that now, it will be going around and around in his head and he will want me to call NHS direct later for a second oppinion...... After all MIL has years of medical background doesn't she

lardybump · 27/09/2008 11:41

LB snap out of this mood will you!!!! Come on ladies come make me laugh and make me get out of this nasty mood...... When is the earliest I can start my maternity leave?? I was going to leave it as late as possiable but may start it before that as the 6 day week is really getting me down now.
