Yay Izzy is back AND she's a vegan.
Will Al and Jimmi take over the Icon ?
I think there's a rocky road ahead for BT and Daniel

I've just had a Google. Ali is due in March, and very sadly she had a miscarriage on NYE. It must have been utterly heartbreaking to film that.

Binglebong you asked how pregnant Ali is, but I recall this previous post of *

Catching up. Bt real life bump on display under jumper*
So that's what made me think she was pregnant and knew it when filming. And now redshoe said she suffered a miscarriage last NYE. Sad

Binglebong · 31/10/2019 19:28

My mistake, 4 months. Thanks for the correction.

That's awful that she had had a recent miscarriage. I understand why they used that plot but I'm sorry they did in those circumstances. Hope she had counselling provided.

Also given how we get the "if this has affected you..." on so many programmes I'm surprised they didn't have it for yesterday's episode.

Fuzzy I have 2 tubs of Swizzles Halloween Shock but DH is taking some to football on Saturday for the kids if I haven't eaten them all

Bingle I agree about the 'if you have been affected' thing. But thety do a lot of 'issues' and rarely ever do the phone line /contact helplines thing. Odd really.

The conversation about 'when to start trying again' must have been a difficult one to film too, as her and her husband clearly had the very same conversation, as if she miscarried at the very end of last year, they decided to start trying again quite soon after.

All in all, a very raw storyline , really not that long after joining the programme.

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 31/10/2019 20:17

It's happened to me three times, I was advised no need to wait before trying again if you feel ready but that if you don't wait for a cycle to elapse and become pregnant again right away it can be hard to accurately date
that pregnancy.

JustDanceAddict · 31/10/2019 21:17

Lol @ Valerie’s pussy comment!!

NutButterNutter · 31/10/2019 23:33

Ok I'm going to have to binge watch this week when I'm home, aren't I?
Really hard for BT to film that in the circumstances Sad
Enjoy all your sweets! I have neatly avoided Halloween but now realise I've missed the finishing off of the box of sweets that no one comes to eat at all Hmm

Redshoeblueshoe · 01/11/2019 00:27

Nut I still have 2 tubs. You can have some Palma Violet's or some Love ❤️
Fuzzy tell no one but I've kept some refreshers back for you and Raahh

Red Grin
My Grandpa was a rep for Palmer and Harver when I was a child, and his job was to take samples around to local sweet shops and things- they were mainly Swizzels Matlow. We used to get load of sample cards, which had all the sweets on and a4 card board thing- the refresher chew was usually a block of wood. It was years before I got to taste a real one.

We used to get all sorts of sweets and stuff, and he often too me on 'jobs' with him left me in the car, whilst he popped in the bookies .

It was a great day for our teeth when he retired in the early 80s Grin

I miss my Grandpa.

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 01/11/2019 07:42

All the sweets I like got taken (fun size chocolates) and we are left with all the refreshers, Moam etc that I'm not bothered about.

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 01/11/2019 10:40

I've just found two multipacks of funsize Grin

FuzzyPuffling · 01/11/2019 13:09

Refreshers! I haven't had those for about a million years. I didn't know you could still get them!

Raahh · 01/11/2019 13:47

Why is the Icon suddenly a dump it's only been a couple of weeks!

Raahh · 01/11/2019 13:48

They surely earn enough between them to get cleaners in . Domestic one, not hired hitmen.

SubisYodrethwhenLarping · 01/11/2019 13:48

My vitamin D tablets that I take twice a day are like refreshers. They are chalky and sort of fizzy and I chew them GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

FuzzyPuffling · 01/11/2019 13:49

Can we get rid of Joe? He's annoying.

Raahh · 01/11/2019 13:50

Oh dear.

Poor BT.
