NSFN - it DOES look good! Go for it, and if it's meant to be, it'll happen!

fannyannie · 27/04/2007 10:58

Oh that house does look good - definitely go for it .

Still no baby yet then CD .

I got stopped in my tracks (literally) in town yesterday afternoon by a Braxton Hicks that was so strong it took my breath away - gave me a bit of a fright as I then continued to get smaller BH's regularly for about 1 1/2hrs !

CaptainDippy · 27/04/2007 11:32

Being PG is a funny old thing, ain't it FA!!? Wel I am officially "lat" - So you all need to give me lots and lots of sympathetic chocolatey hugs!!

OP posts:
fannyannie · 27/04/2007 12:27

we knew what you meant CD

Just think if you're 2 weeks late (sorry horrible thing to say ) and I'm 3 weeks early we could have babies with the same birthday !

CaptainDippy · 27/04/2007 12:38

Nooooooooo, not two weeks late, noooooooooo...........

CD - I love your manerisms (spelling

and

mabe they will help actually in childbirth, >

roseylea · 27/04/2007 14:39

NSFN, I just thought I'd show you what £100K buys round here

Not much is it!

MaryBS · 27/04/2007 16:27

Eek! RL, that hasn't even got a BEDROOM!

CD - its no good, you're going to have to start taking things to get the baby moving! I've heard castor oil does a good job! Failing that, raspberry leaf tea, hot curries, driving fast down bumpy roads and getting intimate with DH (did I really say that! ). Although, not all at the same time!

Eek No 2! M.

MaryBS · 27/04/2007 16:31

Not sure what happened there. M. was at a PCC meeting for one of other churches, and was told that "Mary has said she'll take combined church/chapel services"!!! No, Mary didn't!! They asked me and I told them I was still training and anyway it would need M.s approval!

Evil me suggested to M. that all it would take was a decent sermon on the BVM (Blessed Virgin Mary), together with a few choice high church hymns and they'd never want me back again! Mea maxima culpa!

fannyannie · 27/04/2007 16:34

100k round here could buy you

this 3 bedroom in dodgy part of town (same area where a 3yr old died recently after an arson attack on a wheelie bin outside his home

this 3 bedroom in a slightly better area - but terrible schools...

this 2 bedroom flat - not a bad area - catchment area for one of best primary schools in town

or this 1 bedroom in a very posh part of town (again good catchment area} - you'd be walking down the road with commuting lawyers, dr.s and city managers

CaptainDippy · 27/04/2007 18:29

Still here. Still fat. Still fed-up.

Castor Oil sounds evil Mary - have been taking RLT though ..... HATE hot curry and even the thought of "getting intimate" makes me feel exhausted ......

Bumpy roads it is then ..... Off out to a meeting in the sticks v.soon so lots of opportunities for that!!

Love, [[hugs]] & Prayers to all .... xxxx

Only joking mines cream(ish) not bad house in Gedling though! love the little childs play shed!

mumtogusnalbie · 27/04/2007 21:44

Hi everyone - sorry haven't been around for a few days but I am really struggling with life at the moment. No particular reason just high levels of anxiety which is slowing me down considerably and I am finding it hard to concentrate on anything.
I received my letter regarding my speeding fine today and it said that I have 30 days to reply or be taken to court. If you do not have your licence then you do not have the option to pay early and avoid court. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my licence and have to try and get a new one before the 30 days are up or I will be facing court proceedings - this obviously isn't helping my current state of mind.

I just want to jump up and down and scream really loudly but fear this may frighten the boys!

Prayers for my sanity, my licence and my boys would be much appreciated.

God Bless

ZipadiSuzy · 27/04/2007 21:46

Sorry Good Evening everyone, just returned from work, yet again, (some lovely child had a runny tummy this afternoon so had to close pool down for 24 hours, hence early departure, nothing else left to do! will carry on looking at all your lovely houses

CD - good luck finding a suitable birth starter, mine was a pub crawl (I was the driver though) followed by chocolate gateau and MaryBS's suggestion re: bedroom antics!

ZipadiSuzy · 27/04/2007 21:47

Sorry I am on the christian prayer request thread arn't I?

Notquitegrownup · 27/04/2007 22:51

Hi Everyone

MTGAA - Praying very specifically, that God shows you where that driving licence is. (And failing that that the new one appears before the 30 days is up.) Now, deep breath and relax.

(Oh, and forgive my lack of faith, but if the case does go to court, you don't have to go. You can just plead guilty. I had a parking ticket given to me by a policeman once rather than a traffic warden, and therefore, it had to go to court. I was waayyy too scared to turn up. Agree that it was very scary and stressful.)

God bless all.
