Noooo, just caught up then lost my post.
AWCH have you spoken to anyone? You could see if your early pregnancy unit has a walk-in, or if you're lucky see if your GP will refer you for a scan to find out what's going on. When I MC'd they wouldn't let me have a scan, but the waiting and not knowing was by far the worst bit. I was told to wait a week(!) then take another test to see if I still had any pregnancy hormone left.
dsm Blimey 8 years? Sounds like she's better off without him involved, hope it goes ok, and sounds like DH is a much better dad to her already. Sorry your joints are still so painful, hope you get it sorted out soon.
oi I'm jealous of your dinner at the Ivy, and meeting up with xiao, I wish I didn't live so far away from all of you. Hope BOi avoids the pox, but I agree if he's going to get it he'll have already been exposed anyway.
aethel the box houses are very impressive, though you must surely have too much free time!
I done another batch of Xmas shopping yesterday. I got DD a vtech talking bear thing, and an animal keyboard where the animals pop up. I solved the stocking dilemma with happyland people and a set of 4 musical shakers. I also bought bits for DS advent calendar which I still need to finish making, and some bits for the rest of the family from boots in their 3 for 2.
My parents are moving today, our sale still hadn't completed
