winterlover I have been hearing that all day - "how have things got this bad" "How do you work in this mess" "In future I'm bot going to let it build up like this"
Yeah yeah yeah...

Are you sure my DP and your DH are not the same person Grin

I just grin, nod and say 'ok'

glasscompletelybroken · 18/05/2011 17:19

lol - maybe they are!

yoshiLunk · 18/05/2011 17:20

Winter the pram looks lovely but if possible do try and test drive one, - preferably with a toddler-like weight in it

because I had a four wheel Graco (much older version admittedly) and it was an absolute bugger to steer and lift up kerbs.

WinterLover · 18/05/2011 17:23

Yoshi I just told DP your advice and he said 'You could just put your handbag in it then' Hmm TWAT springs to mind!!

yoshiLunk · 18/05/2011 19:45

tell him 'or maybe your big book of clever jokes would be weightier' Grin

HEEEEYYYYY PPEEEEGGGGSSSS!!

Im very good ta Grin Went and bought a pushchair today, not the sport one that I posted, just the normal version (couldnt see it on Tuesday due to some large arsed woman checking out ALL of the pushchairs!! I much prefer this one, its less fussy so im very happy. Oh and I went to collect the rocking crib for our room (instead of moses basket) and ordered a new mattress for it.. cot has been picked up from FIL for babys room and new mattress ordered too :)

All I need now is for DP to re-paper where we have damaged in babys room and hall by 3rd June as we have a house inspection and I hope we get to extend the lease, if not i will be one stressy WinterLover Hmm

Doesnt look like im going back to work tho :( after everything that happend the other week I have a doctors review on Monday and the consultant has sent his 'opinion' to them so I will be signed of till end June then take 3 weeks annual leave then start ML on 17th July.... Wierd knowing i have definately finished work and not going back there ever now :(

Hows you Pegs?

KaraStarbuckThrace · 19/05/2011 20:46

Yey for more purchases, WL!

Got my HB kit and a bottle of entonox today!
I am really excited now :)

Hi Pegs!!

Love all that baby shopping Winter. Kara when is your EDD ?

I'm working from home today as I'm not feeling too great, not sure what it is but feeling all achy and shivery. Sad

Thanks, im getting so bored though, not worked for 9 weeks now :( and no chance of me going back! Yesterday afternoon I 'cleaned' the kitchen... when I say cleaned, cupboards we're emptied etc etc..

Kara I bet its feeling all very real now?? Not long left for you at all.. I have 13 weeks left unless they decided to do me early.. Told DP I want everything sorted for 35 weeks just in case and so I can enjoy the summer hols with DBD if she's allowed extra holiday time with us..

ConfessionsOfaFlask · 20/05/2011 10:19

I know how you feel Winter- I was put to complete bed rest at 30w for 2 weeks following bleeding and signs of early labour (couldn't even get out of bed for wees, joy) . Then I stayed home until 37.5 when I had DD. I was getting so bored of watching crap telly and ate too much ice-cream! I was so happy she came a little early!

WinterLover · 20/05/2011 16:36

Oh Pegs that would drive me mad!! I should count myself lucky then :) although i think the dog would like me on bed rest, lazy sod he is :)

KaraStarbuckThrace · 20/05/2011 16:39

Poor Pegs!! Hope you are having a duvet day!

WL - yep you are right it is becoming very real! EDD is 7th June!

WinterLover · 20/05/2011 16:56

OMG Kara thats soooooo close Grin

Realisation is sinking in here too.. DP has put together the pushchair today to make sure we had all the bits Grin and so I could have a play hehe

KaraStarbuckThrace · 20/05/2011 18:34

Ours is assembled and in the garage but want to get it back in and remove all the tags and such.

ConfessionsOfaFlask · 21/05/2011 17:51

ConfessionsOfaFlask · 21/05/2011 18:13

Chicken and potato for tea for me... DP can sort himself out when he comes in (whenever that will be)

KaraStarbuckThrace · 21/05/2011 19:56

Been very busy today sorting our bedroom and rearranging it.
DH is off in Manchester now seeing Roger Water's do The Wall.

I am sooooo tired! Going to waste a bit of time on the internet, open up my bottle of Bailey's mint choc and have a small glass and then off to bed!

nenevomito · 21/05/2011 20:40

Bonsoir tout le monde.

So, no rapture then. I've had a hellish day though.
