  • Hey smarties, congratulations on the job interview!!!! will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!! have been meaning to catch up with you on your diary, sorry!!!!

    lowering the tone even further i tried sex when overdue with ds2 but it was such a task ( i was HUUUUUGGGGGE!!!!) we ended up laughing through it!!!!! very romantic, not!!! the sweep will only work if your cervix is ripe and ready, i had 3 and none worked for me. they say tweaking your nipples (so so so sorry) works but think you have to do it for hours!!! needless to say we just laughed when the midwife suggested it!

    bringing the tone back up again, think i am going to join a payment a day in jan, keep reading about it and it seems a good idea, even 50p a day would help bring things down slowly. do people include this in their budget??

  • Yes i keep thinking about doing the payment a day aswell hun, not sure if ppl count in there or not tbh. I just don't know where i am at the moment what with the prospect of loosing my job etc.
    LOL at the nipple and sex talk!
    I think my cervix was "ripe" and i would have gone into labour soon if i hadn't had the sweep coz the midwife said i was already 2-3 cms!

    Oh good grief what have I let myself in for!! Just told OH about hours of nipple stimulation and he is just looking at me very strangely LOL!!!:eek:
    I think they are doing it next week as its Christmas and had no appointments for a while. She said sometimes it works sometimes it has no effect. They would do 1 next week, 1 week after and if still nothing book me in for a full induction.

    How cute rolling over, there will be no stopping him now, he will be rolling all round the living room!!:p

    Great news about the interview Smarties, fingers, toes and legs crossed for you. Actually scrub legs crossed!! LOL!!!

    Mummy hope you are feeling better, sounds like you have had rubbishy day.

    Off to seduce OH!! Yeah right!!

  • Ahh thanks pipsmum - i hope one of the sweeps works for you hun.
  • ha ha ha!! your oh must think we are completly barmy!!!!!!
    a friend of mine had a bad experience with tweaking nipples, when the midwife suggested it in early labour, her fella didnt quite understand what she meant (?????) and sat flicking them for half an hour!!:eek: he still hasnt lived it down!!!!!!:D

    i am happy that ds2 is doing more but sad as i wanted him to stay a baby for a while. not sure if i could cope with another one so may be my last. least it might help me to lose weight when there will be 2 of them to run after!!!!:rolleyes:

  • Thats how i was Rags, i was "depressed nearly" at the thought of my little one getting older. I wanted her to stay a little baby forever and i dreaded her first birthday, how mad is that!! I have got over that now she is over one but i know how you feel!
  • i have been upset on both of there first bdays even when i knew i would have another! so who knows how bad ill be when its the last!!!! not sure we will ever stop lol just keep having kids.......dont think that will help with the debt!?!? The lovely newborn bit goes far to quick and at the time you just want a full night sleep and then when you get the sleep you realise they are getting bigger :(

    hope you all have a good day

    Aaaaaahhhh bless I have all this to come dont I!!

    Think a nesting instinct kicked in today as I HAD to sort through the paperwork pile that I have been ignoring for months. I found £17.50 in Tesco clubcard vouchers that I didnt know I had and a savings book for Abbey, doubt it has anything left in it but worth asking, fingers crossed!!

    Made some onion bread in the machine and it is yummy, still sticking to my meal plan so had chicken curry and rice for tea.
    Ive done a couple of surveys and did my scratchcards this morning and won 30p.

    Not much else to report, hope to catch up with you all tomorrow x x x
