Ok ladies a salt pig looks nothing like a pig and is not made of salt it is the china/terracotta thing that you put salt in so you can scoop/pinch it out to cook with - you have it on your worktop. I wondered why Kate didn't think I would want to shop for one when sick and then realised she must think it was some awful salted pig food thing! Ewww (although pork scatchings mmm) God knows why DP wants one but he insists of leaving the box of salt out until he gets one!! and yes Fruity he is pretty easily pleased - shame I don't return that favour, cashmere scarfs and nice bath stuff is more my scene!! Sorry to disappoint not as exciting as it sounds! (Oh just noticed that Fruity has posted a link- see told you it was dull)
Ei Sorry TEW got you I had a really good feeling for you this month - so much for my psychic powers. I still reckon you're next though! (Sorry other ladies)
Sparkly Ooh earache - sounds serious are you sure one day off is enough? Hope you had a good day though and you've handed in the assignment, you can't get an A* if you don't y'know. How sweet of DP - but good on you for not cancelling the girls.
Mollie So sorry about your knee, but I reckon some days off will do you some good in the end. I know exactly what you mean about same ol' same ol' - I basically bored myself let alone anyone else when things were tough. BUT please please don't worry about it here, you are one of us and we want to know if you are hurting and promise not to be bored. I know I'm a bit behind the times as its now Fri pm so will just say agree with Ei about the chocolate and indulging your emotions and Kate about the not TTC until you are stronger and the doctor/councilling thing and want to give you a big hug. PS - love the slinky joke
Bellaharry Hi and welcome to a bit of a hotchpotch as you can see by the list but it works for us and I'm sure will for you too. Charts far to advanced for my addled brain but there are some real nerds experts on here so you're in good hands.
OMG Fruity Look at your enormous belly !! and I cannot believe you are 23 weeks - amazing. Please don't wish for big (.)(.) because big does not necessarily mean pretty! and DP has kindly told me this week that once the ligaments are stretched they never recover - GREAT!
Kate Fab about TT tickets. Sorry of your BFN - any chance it was too early, not that I want to encourage your obsessing! Remember it is only cycle 1 and really - you were just practising no? You are not alone I am fully paid up Strictly addict and have got tickets for the live show in Feb for me and my Stepmum (she is so addicted she needs help and my dad is surprising her with the tickets for xmas - she will blub!!)
Cricri You really do sound like you're doing a marvellous job - are you enjoying it? Or is it all work work work.
Phew long post - must go but feeling loads better although still asleep at 8:45 last night and no that is not a typo. Think bump has really grown this week - DP said this morning "God you're belly is going to get enourmous isn't it" Mmmm Me: "Yes dear - on which side would you like the black eye" If I can get myself organised I will join Fruity in the 'half-naked' bump shots and should have new scan to put on on Wednesday.
You have probably already packed your weekend bags and left the thread but never mind. xx
