    How was the appointment with the midwife


    BF planted some chili seeds at the weekend, can only remember demon red
    as that is the hottest, so hopefully they will sprout. Plus he has done some herbs, I'm hoping that the coriander will die as I hate it

    June 3rd not that long away with all the BH's then sprog will be here :)

    Appointment was fine Radish :) Thankfully my iron, blood pressure and baby's growth is all good meanign I should be able to go to the birth centre rather than the delivery suite. The fact that I feel like poo most the time is just my rotton luck *rolls eyes*

    Lot of luck with your chilli seeds :) Ours did nothing until we popped them in a plastic bag to raise the heat/humidity and now they're off!

    :D I planted some coriander last year and realised afterwards that i don't actually like it.....guess what's popped up again and is thriving.......

    The cupboards are looking fairly bare so I need to get organised and do a shop. no freezer stuff though as we're on operation clear out...cue nasty stew for dinner

    Hi smlsave,

    Sorry to hear you are not feeling well at the moment, hope you perk up soon.

    Enjoy the sun and make sure you relax.

    Hi ally :)

    I'm trying to get myself organised atm and failing somewhat. I've made a list of the food in the house and am trying to make a meal plan using what I've got. It's surprisingly hard work! Had pumpkin and bacon pasta last night which was ok but not a hit. HM Pizza tonight and chips.

    The next couple of weeks seem a bit manic. Antenatal course on wednesday, we're away both bank holidays and I've started to go swimming again! Not mentioning of course work and the fact that the house is a tip.

    Oh well, I'm going to enjoy this bank holiday as we're off to cheshire to visit my aunt which normally means good food, good company and they're taking us to see a jaz band which will be a new experiance. :)

    Wouldn't it be funny if we ended up walking past each other some time this weekend? We'd have no idea but still :)

    My only plans are to see the jazz band and hopefully pop to Bravissimo & Lakeland.

    Had a brief splurt of energy yesterday evening and so the kitchen is spotless and there's washing on the line today. :D

    Had crunchy pizza and anemic chips yesterday, I'm thinking today might just be pancakes as we've got another antenatal class at 7 so we don't have much time this evening.

    Great news on the travel system, i bought mine from a good friend and will use it for this baby too. I am definitely not a pramzilla!

    Lol @ you and Radish, we live near Cheshire in N.Wales and go to Chester Zoo ALL the time as we have membership! Small world eh?

    It is a scarily small world sometimes :) Was only chatting about it today with a work colleague.

    I've never been to Chester Zoo but since you and Radish say it's good I might suggest it to my aunt :)
