I think i'm wrong as she now has her bum to the camera and I can't see anything. But when I posted she had her tail in the air and I was sure I could see somethingConfused

She does seem very restless tonight though!

Pixel · 10/07/2011 22:01

Is it a trick of the light or is her tummy moving about rather a lot?

Oh. A big poo and back to her corner.

Queenie, this isn't funny, you are toying with us now.

I thought her tummy was really moving, and she looked un impressed, her tail seemed up for ages, and was at an odd angle i couldn't quite see it, i thought yes this is and and then she pooped and went to her corner, argh shakes head in wonder.

LynetteScavo · 10/07/2011 22:12

Who's the lady?

cookielove · 10/07/2011 22:12

The lady was in there, but gave no vibe on how she was doing. Just a thumbs up would be nice Grin

LynetteScavo · 10/07/2011 22:13

It's a bit....boring. Grin

LynetteScavo · 10/07/2011 22:15

That must bee the most pissed off horse I have ever seen.

cookielove · 10/07/2011 22:15

yes boring, yet addictive

Pixel · 10/07/2011 22:15

Anyway, we all know don't we, that the foal is going to slither out during one of the ads.

ha ha, god i hope not pixel, but i am sure it will happen when i am asleep.

cookielove · 10/07/2011 22:27

she's asleep asleep asleep argh

AmyStake · 11/07/2011 16:16

It's 4pm and she's in a dark stable looking utterly fed up.

She looks bloody massive as well, even more so than usual!

Disasterpiece · 11/07/2011 16:32

It is darker today isnt it, do you think they have closed the topof the door to keep the sun/heat out a bit?

AmyStake · 11/07/2011 17:09

I'm thinking so, its suddenly a lot lighter now.

She's in her fave corner showing her boyfriend behind her the goods. Dirty madam!

I'm thinking surely it has to be tonight?

slartybartfast · 11/07/2011 19:40

she's is swishing her tail around

AmyStake · 11/07/2011 19:54

She's certainly a lot more restless than usual.

I'm hoping tonight or tomorrow morning. In the stable hopefully!

Disasterpiece · 12/07/2011 00:04

Tail is right up to the side, nice vulva shot there cheers Queenie. Grin

AmyStake · 12/07/2011 00:58

Don't know if anyone else is up, but MyFarm have tweeted she's due to give birth in the next 2-3 hours Grin

Sleepingonthebus · 12/07/2011 01:11

Well, I WAS going to bed, but maybe not now Grin

piprabbit · 12/07/2011 02:17

I think she is asleep again.

Petalouda · 12/07/2011 03:55

Lurky Lurkerson, here.

Nearly 4am and no foal yet. She's v active though, and there's an extra 60 viewers compared to normal.

Do I. stay up now?

piprabbit · 12/07/2011 09:37

2-3 hours?

I think she is just fat Grin.

AmyStake · 12/07/2011 14:07

Bloody MyFarm, I was proper excited last night :(

Really hope she's not having it in the paddock!

EveryonesJealousOfWeasleys · 12/07/2011 14:46

Call me a cynic but amazing isn't it how they initially claimed birth was imminent, yet only now are they saying she actually has real symptoms of being about to give birth - and in between whiles they have put ads on there which are bound to pay more for a higher number of viewers. They have kept us all hanging on deliberately! Can't blame Queenie though, unless she is in on it and getting some kind of rider (accidental on purpose horse pun) Grin
