Think I've been let down so much in the past which is why I dwell on it. Neither my mum or dad have ever been there for me so I'm not great with relationships. Maybe I expect too much.

On my birthday he bought me some perfume, later he realised it was cheaper online so a couple of weeks after my birthday when I went to open the box I realised it was gone. When asked he said he had taken it back to boots but if I still wanted it I could order it online and he would give me his card. Well, I just did it. Last night I asked where the dvds were that he bought me for xmas as I'm still off work and thought I'd make use of them. I admit I wasn't over the moon 'cos I'm not a dvd person but he said if I wasn't happy he would return them and I said no I would watch them. Last night he admitte dthat he returned them a couple of weeks ago, also he kept the £50+ they cost. I'm fuming, he didn't open his ipod for quite a while after xmas but I wouldn't have taken it from the bedroom and returned it. He's so tight, they were all I got apart from a £5 cd I handed him im Morrisons and asked him to buy me. I don't feel special, tiamai you have my sympathies.

Tara that's bloody awful!!!! :eek:

I would KILL my OH if he bought me something and took it back without telling me!

That's a horrid and wicked thing to do, poor you xxx

Got the boots free changing bag and it's surprisingly ok, and quite sturdy with tons of pockets;) Whoever asked, we got a token from boots parenting club and you have to buy some pampers newborn nappies, so £3.74 for nappies and a bag, and the nappies are on 2 for £6 too

ok tara i have to admit that is not right at all and if i was you i would swap roles and see how he likes it but i supose thats not very grown up is it... i think you have to explain to him how that he was out of order and how would he like espically when he kept the money :eek:...
you are special my parents were never very caring unless my mother wanted money out of me thus why i dont have any contact with them but you deserve more you just gotta ask x

Do you choose to not have contact. I find it weird that my mum doesn't even know my children. My dad left years ago, I found him 5 years ago but like you he tried to borrow money from me and we haven't spoken since.

ok so Tara I didn't realise your hubby was that annoying
Mine does silly/lazy/inconsiderate things but not downright rude things!
Feel free to show him how appalled we are with him!

Tara's OH: You do NOT I repeat NOT sneakily take a gift that you have given to someone back to the shop!! I don't care it they never use it ever you just don't!
If someone doesn't use your gift it's because you didn't put enough thought into in to it and it's not something they want/need - If in doubt ask them to write a list.
and so endeth this lesson :cool:

The nuchal fold is done at the 12wk scan, it measures the fluid in some fold in the neck I think? Its an early (but ropey) indicator of downs - I don't know much about it as I refuse to have tests like that.

The NT test measures the amount of fluid in the base of the neck. It indicates the likelihood of Down's syndrome - a greater than usual thickness might suggest a problem and be an indicator for further testing. It's not a definitive test but it lessens the number of women who have amniocentesis and since it's done by ultrasound there are no risks (unless your bladder's really, really full and then there's the risk you'll pee on your US technician).

Thanks sami, that made me laugh! x

tara yes i choose not to speak to them long story... my step-dad went for me, got him arrested mothers tried to commit suicide (attention really) to make me feel guilty been on and off since then as you can imagine... and as for my real dad i found out that the man who i thought was my real dad for years until he died probably wasnt but my mother old best friend husband probably is... seriously you couldnt make this stuff up... my DD was there the first time step dad went for my mother so that why she has no contact with them either she was only two and she remembers the shouting... i dont find it hard as i know my life and the lives of my kids are better off without them... doesnt mean to say i dont miss having a mum i mean everyone wants a mum but sometimes you have no choice.. thats why im the best mum i can be to my DD sometimes i spoil her but i give her what i never got x

Hi Ladies!
I've been reading for a while but been a bit too shy to post!
I (think) i'm 18 weeks pregnant, but unsure due to not having dates to properly work out from. Found out i was expecting back in November and saw gp shortly after, but due to loss of paperwork at the surgery i'm only having my first scan tomorrow so will finally get a e,d,d!! yay.
I only saw the midwife for a booking in appointment last week! I thought they just may be getting sick of the sight of me because my 2 youngest are very close in age! LOL.

I have 3 other children. DD1 is 6 years old. DD2 was born on new years day 2007, so just turned 2, and DS is 14 months old...Once this new baby comes i'll have 3 under the age of 3 and everyone thinks i'm totally insane!!

Oh my gosh, I am so full.. had three full courses - much to the amusement of my Dad and OH!

My Grandad is very interested in all the "new fangled" baby things you get these days (bearing in mind we were out to celebrate his youngest child's 52nd birthday!) so I'm going round tomorrow with a few brochures to explain with pictures! Let's hope he doesn't keel over with the shock at some of the prices!

It had started snowing when we came out of the pub. It's settling.. Let's hope we get a better offering than last week

As for arguments with OH.. we've never actually had any big rows We've only ever fallen out to the point of not talking for over an hour twice - once I shouted "Fire, fire!" when the grill was spitting (no actual fire) and he came running and I got a major telling off (never make up there being a fire in front of a fireman ), and the other time was when he told me to "F**k off" in front of his mate and I told him he wasn't ever to speak to me like that again!

When he's just being annoying, I just ignore him for a while. It does help that he has his computer room which he often disappears to - sometimes out of choice, sometimes cos he's staying out of my way. Could never have a second child whilst living in this house - he would be a nightmare if he had to give up his beloved computer room and spend all his time in the living room with me!
