    Congrats! But just to clarify, the measurement will actually have been 10mm (1cm) long - not 10cm :-)

    haha... :o

    yes that sounds more likely!

    OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!

    I asked OH to get down the old clothes of Jasmines from the attic so I could pick out all the neutral ones and wash the rest to either keep if I have a girl or sell

    Seemed like a really good idea at t he time, but I had forgotten how much stuff I had kept over the last 6 years :eek::eek::eek:

    My sitting room looks like a pink and purple bomb has exploded :rotfl:

    Any of you that have sold on ebay, do you list similar items together or individual outfits, need help as I have never sold on ebay before, so this is a steep learning curve :D

    I don't sell, but I buy :D

    I always go for bundles, but if you have any really nice outfits from next etc, try listing them on their own. Juts don't be too greedy with the postage and offer to combine it.

    Nice large bundles are going for about £15+ if they include basics and a few nice going out outfits. (0-3month as thats what I have been looking at.)

    I always bundle... But not too much in one go because the postage would be too much... But try and make up whole outfits, with a good mix of trousers and skirts with tops...

    MM i have been looking to buy on ebay too and I would be more likely to buy bundles unless it's a really special outfit - like the HUGE bundle I bought has a few bits in it that I personally would have listed seperately - they're actually fit to be little flowergirl outfits - they are that pretty/posh.
    I bought some "basics" bundles too - so couple of sleeveless and leg less thingies (struggling with words today!) couple with sleeves and legs, just little tops and one or two hooded full fingers covered, toes covered etc outfits. This is also how I'm planning on listing the stuff that I have surplus from my major haul :)
    Then loads of outfits in bundles of something like 5 at a time - probably by brand... I think full outfits together in 2's or 3's that kinda thing. I probably wouldn't bother generally listing things on their own unless they are special ones and a good brand.

    Oh dear!

    I've just got a lovely bath and washed my hair.

    Just put my jim jams on (which are a size 22/24!!!!!) and my bump is busting out of the buttons! You can see my outie inbetween 2 of the buttons :rotfl::rotfl:

    They are huge everywhere else so I'm gutted - looks like I'm gonna have to borrow some of Steves t-shirts! (Not paying out for more jim jams when I've only got 3 weeks to go!)

    Can I have some advice please?
    I have my scan tommorow and its looking like I'll have to take my 2 kids with me (11 and 6) I really didn't want to,not to this scan as I didn't want to tell them untill I know all is well. Do you think I should stop being so silly and just tell them and take them or have them wait outside the room while I'm scanned- which sounds cruel as they might be wondering why there at a hospital!
    love my little man he is amazing :j

    If they can read and have half a brain then I'm afraid you'll probably be wanting to tell them before hand :) In our scan department at the hospital you can't miss what they do - it's 99% pregnancy related scans so everything on the walls etc are about pregnancy as well as there usually being about 5-8 women there all with pregnant bellies...
    And at our hospital they won't let you leave kids unattended outside... they have to go in with you unless someone is there to watch them.

    Neither they're far too pink :rotfl:

    If you like pink though then I'd have thought the first one would have been more practical?
