    Morning all, good to see you back sar.

    So sorry about your kitty bunny, hugs to you.

    Glad to hear the scan went well luc, and that there is only one on board. I was pretty relieved to find just the one too.

    I'm a bit *sigh* today. Dunno why really. I dropped hubby off this morning for his 5 days in cornwall (festival on the beach) and now I feel a bit lost. Honestly it didn't used to bother me at all, Im away, he's away, that's how life is, has been and will always be, so we just get on with it. But lately I feel sad as soon as he goes. Even a cream cake didnt cheer me up :) Probably just stupid hormones again.

    That redbush advert cracks me up.... it was on one time and Erin said "Mum, what a tickly redbush?" it's just the woman's accent i guess, but it does sound like "tickly red bush" and makes me chuckle every time.

    I'll get my coat.

    I don't like the advert. It didn't make me want to buy the tea (which is how I judge if an advert is good if it makes me want the product, not necessarily if it's good in an artistic sense).
    Having tried the tea (and I only managed half a cup), I am sticking to the PG Tips!

    Big hugs Toto. It can't be easy even if it is normal. I hate it when Hubbles goes on away jobs. I was in floods of tears yesterday when he thought he might be in Boston when I'm due my second scan (luckily he isn't after all).

    Did you get that gorgeous dress for the wedding?

    I did buy the dress and quite a few other things too :o which wasn't cheap at all. It isn't for a wedding it's for a party which is coming up. I also got a lovely floaty cream top to go with a pair of jeans for Amy McDs bbq.

    we have been invited to a wedding in november, but it's a week before my due date and it's quite a way from home so I don't think I'll be going to that. Besides depending on my scan at 36 weeks I might have had a C section by then anyway. I've decided to stand firm on this staying in hospital for a month thing. Seriously they can either just take me in for the C section at 37 weeks or they can bog off.

    That money spending spree at Crave was in no way my fault though, right? :o

    We didn't go to the cinema today in the end - going next Wednesday instead because Ryan decided he would rather look round some toy shops instead. So it has cost me £3.99 for a Test Tube Alien (:confused:), but saved me a fortune at the cinema I suppose. I had also forgotten about Orange Wednesday, so would have missed out on 2 for 1 if we had gone, but will make sure I remember it next week!

    I think everything has gone Duchy....it's difficult to tell what went first! :rotfl:

    Did you have a good holiday?

    ps Ryan is being a little angel now there's no school to wind him up....typical! When does your DS get his results?
