I am 39w pg and dh and I have to travel to his home town to fill in some paperwork. the idiot has neglected to book us a hotel or even a B&B, we dont even know whether there is even a hospital nearby, at this rate I'll be giving rate in a bleddy barn!

part of me thinks he has done this on purpose (baby isnt his) AIBU to be flaming furious with him?

Two asses in your life, eh?

Book your own hotel. What do you think this is, the olden days?

He is being a selfish arse - divorce him! Grin

he has (just about) managed to sort out a donkey, but he's a carpenter. I'd have thought he'd build his wife a cart!

luckily, baby is no trouble at all. just hope he is this good when he arrives!

I may be missing something important, but I don't see why you need to travel to sign paperwork - we have the postal system (including Special Delivery), email and fax machines....bring the paperwork to you = better than making heavily-pregnant-you travel near Christmas in what looks like more appalling weather for most of the country.

oooh, thank you for the tip! whats the etiquette on gifts? apparently in some customs people give frankensence, gold and myrhh. the gold will come in handy, but tbh, I think I'd rather have mothercare vouchers! or is that a little ungracious?

Sorry to hear you're having a hard time Maz, but don't forget how supportive your fiance has been (I have read your other threads). I think you've got a good bloke there, you'll have to forgive the occasional slip-up. These things have a way of working themselves out - am sure there'll be space for you somewhere!!

Good luck for the imminent arrival - it'll be life changing for sure!

Just re-gift them Mary it's all the rage. Are we having a sweepstake for when you give birth...I'll have uuuum next Saturday. Any other takers?

SparklyJules · 16/12/2010 20:41

Don't forget to pack some swaddling clothes, just in case!

stillavirgin · 16/12/2010 20:42

there has been some civil unrest recently, but the weather is expected to be good.

he really is wonderful 99% of the time, but then he is just a man. he has been very understanding about our situation though, and sometimes I dont know what he sees in me.

bloody hell, very good Grin

Was working out how to ask whose baby etc...tactfully of course Grin Grin Grin

Make sure your DH tells his mates to pack their sat nav and not to rely on landmarks or celestial phenomena for navigation, otherwise they'll be really late.

DreamTeamGirl · 16/12/2010 20:45

Aww is it your first?

I know you arent in this country and medical care isnt all that in other areas, so make sure to pack some sani-wipes in case you end up camping or something... (shudder)

I will go for late Friday night in the sweepstake

BigNipsSmallTits · 16/12/2010 20:45

Have you got any names picked out? What about Paul or John?
