Thinking Saturday 13th August at The Trafford Centre... open to times!

Hope you can make it!

You lot haven't made your profiles visible (or I'm doing something wrong!). I tried to cheat by seeing what you looked like but you've hid your profiles and haven't uploaded pics. I uploaded a v sickly sweet photo of me and Stu -so you can see that I'm a freak. Wink And sparkly has cheated by uploading pictures of cats. Cats!? So she's definitely a bit weird. Wink
I have met Bec (bennybenbear), and can vouch that she is neither male nor a freak.

My Dad seems to think I am being duped by a load of bikers with a pregnant woman fetish! Grin
I do indeed have four cats, I will have more when I am old and fat, and will waft around the house waving incense, in my floaty kaftan. I absolutely cannot wait, I may also attempt a turban/fez-type head-gear look.
I have not uploaded my photo as I have said far too much on mn about my cervical mucus to want to be identified! Grin
Two hours is ages, thank goodness for my gerbil get-out clause!

sparkly I may have no start calling you Margot. (Now there's a name for a baby!). (...Does it have a T? The T is silent, but is it really there?) Anyway, she did the kaftans and turbans with great style in The Good Life.
I think Stu thinks you're a bunch of left-wing nutters, trying to make me have a hypnobirthing home birth. Get out the patchouli oil.

Haha i'm not a freak...just a little "different"!! Still can't afford my license that allows me to do it on my own though, so i have only done tandem jumps.. well about 10 of them anyway!

Still going to body pump. and planking??! Freak :o muhahaha i am using this pregnancy as an excuse to do nada!

I thought I'd lost weight this morning - down to pre-prenancy weight plus 3lbs! However, the scales at work give a totally different picture!! (my scales at home must be wonky.)
I think we've scared some people off along the way (it'll be those bloody cats) (joke!). At first, we had about 8 people coming on Saturday, but a few people seem to have dropped off the post. We need to haul them back!

... or maybe as we are both on here all the time, people decided we were actually infact "freaky truckers with a pregnancy fetish" trying to lure poor women to john lewis'??

You haven't scared me off...yet ;-) I'll wait until after sat before making judgements, I however may well scare you guys off as I'll will be attending with 2 children in tow (so bang goes my theory on getting p***d on your guys behalf). Not sure how long we'll stay but might manage to get a cuppa if I'm lucky.

Kirsty, I'm going to inbox you my number so if anything changes before sat please can you let me know.

Look forward to seeing you all and seeing some gorgeous bumps x

OiMissus · 09/08/2011 16:29

Morning ladies, If those little tramps go anywhere near my lovely Trafford Centre, I am leading the vigilante action!! (they haven't, have they? I went to bed at 10 last night, and not checked the local news this morning - the roof looked OK as I drove past this morning...)

kri5ty · 10/08/2011 07:55

no they haven't hun... i think it is too far away from anything to be honest... ie no where to run away, just motorways!!

And if they turn up on saturday i feel for them... a group of hormonal women!!

OP posts:
OiMissus · 10/08/2011 08:06

Let them feel the wrath of the pregnant truckers ladies!

Sparklywine · 10/08/2011 08:49

Kri5ty, speaking as a pervy trucker pregnant lady I would love to know what you are wearing luv! Phwoar!
Riots are disturbing, we got out of work early yesterday (am in Salford) and they had a little meeting about me to make sure I got home safely, which was very touching. I do like being pregnant!

bennybenbear · 10/08/2011 09:10

Morning all, I haven't posted in ages but I am still coming Sat. Vanessa, I am with you on the vigilanty action if they touch the Trafford Centre!! Oh and thanks for vouching that i'm not a man or a freak lol!!

I'm working in Salford too Sparkly right next to the precinct but noone cared about me getting home :( they probably knew who would come off worse if they tried to stop me getting to pregnancy yoga haha!

Really looking forward to meeting you all.

oooo i am feeling jealous Bec and Vanessa know what each other look like... i will be the one walking around like a loon, as i never wear my glasses, so won;t recognise any photos of people!!

benny - I like the "knew who would come off worse* comment. Tis true, I'm so angry about the riots, I don't know what I'd do if I saw hoodies on the way to John Lewis.
Stu's just texted, he's in birmingham today, outside the centre, but he says there's a MASSIVE fire. My colleague who lives in Mcr city centre says it was quite scary last night, lots of hoodies about. And her friends who live high up saw lots of fires in the salford area - this didn't come across on Sky news.
kri5ty dan should be ok. the hoodies in Mcr are only interested in looting. they won't start attacking people - there were loads of spectators in Mcr last night.
