I think it's £60! But I think the issue with you would be the mileage!


I'm determined to try to make the most of it, I've got some herbal nytol ready with my name on it

I totally agree with all those who've said about this loving gesture. I also think it makes me aware how sad it is that so many folk on here have had to be guarded about sharing personal details on here and making friends.

We can lose out on such a lot in this super-aware of risk world we live in . Not that I'd have met her for the first time in a non-neutral place, or waited a year of knowing each other before this feels like an appropriate place to be in the friendship!

Cheapskate

OMG I don't know how you haven't told ur OH I shoved the test in his face the second he got home :rotfl:

Well, might do it tonight - he's gone to a friend's 40th do (teenage DS working so no babysitter, therefore I'm here!). He doesn't drink much, but when he's had a few, he gets a bit soppy, so it ought to go down well.
With last DS, his argument was about costs of a new baby (when he was already on the way - I ask you! :rolleyes:) This time, there's virtually nothing to buy, except a few bits of clothes, etc., so with HIPG money & cash from our health policy that will keep new bean in nappies for ages! Will try to BF for a while at least, to reduce costs further, & gave DS3 almost 100% homemade baby food - so DH has nowt to complain about - men! :rotfl:
Off to put feet up for a bit - got to pick up teenage DS from work about 10.30 (means getting baby out of bed!), then collect DH from party; he'll snore all night 'cos of the beer, we've to get up early as he's working & I have to go to the bank, so need a short kip now! :eek:
Hugs to all & see you later.

Evening all

I'm feeling a bit sad - I've got no nails! I've had such long, lovely nails for so long, its weird to have short, stubby things. Probably a good idea to let them breathe a bit, and don't want them ripping one off if I need a C-Section!

I'm hoping for an early night tonight. Getting the train to visit family tomorrow! I'm supposed to be getting the train back home, but I'm going to take some pajamas - I have a feeling I might not be up for the trip, but there will be a sofa bed for me if I need it. Otherwise I'll be phoning OH and asking him to come and get me.

I've been waiting for news all day too, MFD and AF, we need to know!

Sorry, but I think she does not need people telling her it's ok to feel depressed about having another boy, she needs a slap. She needs to be told that reproduction is a random process and the chances of having a boy is 50/50, if she was not willing to accept this she should have adopted a girl. Before she even got pregnant she should have thought long and hard about what if she had another boy and if she was unable to deal with it, she should never have had another. She needs to be told that she is being shallow and selfish, not to be told lies. Harsh I know, but I'm not one to be gentle when it comes down to telling people what they need to be told, not what they want to be told.

Whilst I agree with this wholehearedly, when you have a friend who is miserable you try to give them a direction in which they can turn to, to snap themselves out of it - and I am struggling to find the right words of wisdom to pacify her.

With something as irrational as this, I don't know if there would be anything you can say to change how she feels. She isn't coming from a rational place, and is unlikely to be reasoned with, pacified or reassured.

I'd urge her to seek medical attention. Antenatel depression is quite common, and she really needs someone qualified to talk to about this.

Been there hun. Had to tell my friend that she was a doormat when she wanted to hear that her and her ex would get back together. It's not easy, but then things are not always easy, especially when you care about people.

You just have to be brave and firm. She may not like what she hears but if she is a real friend she will be gratefull for honesty.

Awww Feelie! Poor fingers! Rub good old vaseline into them at night to help stregnthen them.

I found fig rolls in asda so pretty soon my tummy will be sore

Also felt my first proper kick today in the car! :j And she has been doing it ever since!
