    well... been and done some shopping. got a nice sundress from BHS. lovely and stretchy so plenty of room for baby to grow into. will be great for my cruise as well. also got some maternity jeans!! and some leggings. now i;m not usually a legging person but with a long floaty top that are currently the fashion i look half decent!! lol!!! just need a few 'floaty' tops now and some new tops to go with my jeans. and possibly a pair of linen type trousers.
    have also got curtians for baby room. will put them up later.
    and the dress my sister bought looks fab on. again not a maternity one, but is lovely stretchy fabric and gathers so wil be really comfy later on.
    so its been an alright day so far. :D

    Hmmmm, bidding on the crib has exceeded the BIN price. Again, I loose out cos I'm tight.

    I also feel very sick and my BP has just shot up. Not ms feeling though, definitely bug type feeling. Off for a snooze while kids play xbox.

    i couldnt buy a pram on ebay. unless its definitely brand new. you never know what the pram/buggy has been through. like car seats, never buy a second hand one.

    We were looking on eBay to see if we could get the dazzle cheaper last night, but for brand new it worked out about a quid cheaper... So we decided to support the local shop instead...

    Hope you feel better soon Tia... I've been a bit off myself last couple of days... Can't decide if it's pregnancy or some bug... Could do with a nap myself but really need to do something so it doesn't look like I've been sat around all day again... Still... Least I got dressed today... Only cos the chemist man was coming and I didn't think it would be fair for him to have to endure my pyjamas again...

    Treated myself to a couple of maternity bits in H&M today. Got a really nice black crossover top and some yoga pants type things for lounging around. No bump yet but I am having days when I am so bloated that tight waitbands are a no-no. Plus my boobs are looking a little too voluptuous in some of my normal tops!

    Didn't seen any nice mat wear anywhere else though. New Look's range was pretty naff to be honest. Am seriously thinking about buying an Isabella Oliver dress for my Mum's wedding in June. I love this one http://www.isabellaoliver.com/maternity-clothes/maternity-dresses/Ruffle-Wrap-Dress/D/30100/P/2:100:1020/I/DR060# and they do tend to hold their value quite well on eBay so could always sell it on once baby's here. Anyone bought from Isabella Oliver? Is the stuff worth the money?
