    Couldn't wait til sunday so did these last night:

    and if you can't be sure with one...

    I vomited this morning - so here it starts...

    I count myself very lucky, I used ovulation kits from the start mind to make sure I got it at the right time. If I've worked it out right I'm about 7 or 8 weeks and will be due in november. Just enough time to get settled into routine before christmas...so my shopping all absolutely has to be done before halloween and wrapped asap. AAAGGHHH christmas - I just got butterflies. There's a bit of nervousness in me cos mam did so much for me last time, she would come round every day and take Libby out in the pram so I could have a bath and get dressed,etc; but I guess I know what I'm doing this time (I had no clue last time), a little bit sad cos she won't be here but I think it will bring me and my dad even closer.

    Thanks to everyone for keeping your fingers crossed - you can uncross them now, they must be sore!!!

    Morning ladies, sorry I didn't get on last night I was trying to learn how to put things on my website, I did 4 things then got annoyed and turned it all off :rotfl:

    I made £15 on ebay last night whilst I was asleep, turns out someone in Aus wanted to buy from me and has done so through the night :j so a nice suprise this morning when I woke up ;)

    Mel - Sorry to hear about Emilys toys :( It must be awful for you both. Some people just don't think/set out to annoy/hurt others on purpose :( Poor Emily :(

    Mhagster - I noticed the 2000 but I was probably having a paddy at the time so forgot to mention it :rotfl: (I seem to have a lot of paddys lately .... maybe my daughter gets it from me after all)

    Jamtart - Have cleared cookies and voted another couple of times :whistle: :dance:

    Phunkles - 27 dresses?? I didn't know they sold dresses?

    Mhagster - One countdown over and a new one beginning, so glad your hubby is home today you must be so excited and happy to see him!! ... Are we going to countdown your birthday now? I shall be at your virtual party with glass in hand to cheer and congratulate and celebrate :D

    Aurora :hello: just a quick one for you, hope you are staying strong, sending hugs to you

    Scattymam - :eek::eek: Scattymam Congratulations I am so chuffed for you :D Your mam will be there in spirit to help you and guide you, even though she is not with you. Am I allowed to get all broody? :rotfl:

    There was Melissa, Sugarspun, Abusybee and Krystaltips all pregnant and now you :j :j

    Shelley - Hope you have a fantastic day :)

    Scatty - I am SO pleased for you. It is absolutely lovely that you found out this weekend, on what I know is going to be hard for you. You don't have to worry about your Mum not being here physically as she will always be with you in spirit and if you ask a question out loud, you know what he answer would have been, so really she is just in the next room where you can't see her, she'll never be gone. I am SO pleased for you, I have got a little tear in my eye and lump in my throat :T More thrifty gifty children!! yaya! :D

    Morning all!

    What a lot of good news on here this morning. I couldn't get on last night as our internet was being an @!!! much like OH.
    He's still in bed at the moment. I covered him up with a blanket last night and sneaked off so he slept on the sofa :rotfl:.

    Congratulations scatty - I felt really sick all the time when I was having DD the thing that set me off most was dog food ( It was the smell I wasn't trying to eat it:rotfl:) and I still can't eat spag bol without gipping.

    mhagster have fun with your OH it must be fantastic to have him back.

    Hope DS has a fantastic party rainmac I'm sure you'll have it all under control as you are of course thrifty gifty and organised.

    Back on the clothes thing I only ever buy tops and PJs from Primark in the ladies section but I do have a fantastic pair of men's linen trousers from there and a pair of mens jeans that I bought for OH and kept :rotfl:.

    It's a gorgeous day here but am going to spend it doing housework and do nothing tomorrow at all - do you think I can get away with asking them to go out so I can craft? I want to do mels scrapbook page about me ;).
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p
