    aless - I think alot of the OHs here have had man flu in the last few weeks !!!
    They all like a break from the housework and the hormones !! lol

    Gonna try and catch up this afternoon but in laws here now!

    Just wanted to say my OH has been complaining of flu-like symptoms - i think he thinks he's got swine flu even though he's been no where near anyone who's been to Mexico!

    Men :confused:

    The Body Shop have a fake tan that I used to really love. It costs a month's wage and a couple of limbs here, but it was gorgeous. I would shower, moisturise and put the fake tan on an hour before bed (so it would soak in and I wouldn't stain the sheets) then shower it off in the morning. Perfect natural brown legs except for the inevitable finger marks near the top.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I've got listings ending tonight at 8:55pm on eBay and i'm being so impatient, i just wanna know how much they all go for! All started at 99p and all got a bid or two on each (6 listings).
    Had loads of questions about them, people want to know the far end of a fart when buying clothes. It's a size 12, it's stretchy, i don't know how to measure the bust on a wrap dress "when stretched"... Grr!

    Morning all. Feeling a lot less sick these days but still need to eat nonstop or I feel horribly ill. Am only 13 weeks but have put on half a stone and am showing quite significantly already. Aaargh! Although to be fair I am 5'6" and was 9st before so wasn't too big to start.

    Plan for the day is try to do some washing and housework rather than work on the PC all day like yesterday. Am writing a new website and it gets addictive :-(

    I'd say that was normal. I was worried too, at 12weeks I'd put on half a stone and although Im an inch shorter than you and started abit heavier at 9 and half stone I don't think its excessive now Ive read around abit.
    love my little man he is amazing :j

    Hi Everyone,

    Haven't been on here for a while but thought I'd let you know I got a bargain at Asda yesterday. Bought the Tommee Tippe Microwave + Cold Water Steriliser for £10 (with some free bits like the bottle brush etc). Thought it was a pretty good price.

    Glam, I was a size six before I was pregnant and was never able to put weight on, no matter what I ate or how hard I tried. I was 7st 10lb and I'm now 9st 5lb at 29wks - it's all boobs and bump and even then my bump is being described as "so neat!" by everyone I meet. No one medical has given me any grief about my weight / weight gain - I haven't been weighed at midwife appointments apart from my booking appointment (cos they wanted to fill in the BMI box on my notes).

    That's like me - I was an 8 before and all my weight is my boobs and bump (also described as neat by MW) although my thighs have expanded a little.

    I haven;t been weighed since booking in and have no scales at home so no idea what I weigh currently but apparently I don't look PG from the back so I guess i've not exapnded too much!


    Code - your story makes me so glad I'm having a home birth! How frustrating to be sent home!

    Thanks Sugar, i think i'll give it a miss in that case! Not keen on spray tans, i've had one before and it was carp didn't last 2 days so waste of money, not going there again!
    Advice is to avoid sunbeds; mostly due to increased sensitivity to sunlight and chance of fainting but also depending how far on you are it could damage babies eyes (you need to be 3rd tri I think for that) not much research been done for obvious reasons.

    Was the spray tan you had a st tropez? I will only ever have a san trop, I'm good friends with my beautician (that make me sound weird doesn't it!? I've been going there for like 10yrs) She is really good and does shading to make my boobs look perkier ;)
