.. I'm sure the usual evening suspects will be along shortly!!

That'll be me then!

Am back from my tea out with OH Had gammon in the end with a runny egg - I asked for it solid, but it came runny so I ate it anyway! Decided if it affected Bob in a bad way I'd know about it now that I can feel him moving (all the goddamn time! :rolleyes:) so I was going to treat myself. Really can't wait until I can have pate and prawns again! (I know I could have them now if I wanted / would let myself, but I don't want to / won't.. no lectures please! ).

We looked at the kids menu and there was a berry muffin with icecream on their dessert menu but not on the adults, so we decided to skip dessert and come home to mum's homemade raspberry muffins and ice cream, only she's not made them yet so we're still waiting! Apparently she's going to do them when MOTD is on.

OH has decided we're eating healthy from now on - got to have carrot and cucumber sticks and cherry tomatoes to snack on.. a spree of the salad aisles of Tesco awaits me tomorrow!

Going to book our train tickets for next Fri/Sat now for the Baby Show

hello ladies had a crap day today so not in mood for anything ... what did i miss anything interesting? you lot had a good day? x

Fitzio

Reusable nappies -

I was quite interested in trying these, but have decided that since it's my first, I don't want to put added pressure on myself. I was interested mostly for the environmental benefits, but keep reading that it's not that great a benefit due to the amount of washing etc you end up doing anyway.
I did get a demo of some at the Baby Show recently and they looked really good though. It was Bum Genius that I looked at I think.

Fitzio, on the subject of vac bags, I got these ones, but they were half price when I got them. They are huge - and rather heavy when full and sealed!!

Fitzio mine are square and go on the outerside of my boob - i get bad boob pain not nipples. I cant use them now because i am pregnant. i saw my consultant about a year ago.

those emily b bras have stopped the pain i get though - i dont know how they would work as the pregnancy progresses.

Well ladies, eyes are drooping so I'm afraid its a flying visit.

Bubs was bouncing on bladder at 3.30am and I've only had a half hour snooze at teatime since then so I am wiped out.

Have a lovely evening all

Thanks JHA. Unfortunately the Emily B bras don't go up to my size! I think I will look into reduction surgery after the pregnancy is over (unless they dramatically reduce through breast feeding - I live in hope!)

Elle - thanks for the Argos link.

I've been racking my brain since I saw you ask last night and I'm having trouble remembering.. Definitely wasn't eBay cos I haven't put anything on there yet (still waiting for the motivation!). I think it's a combination of Quidco cashback (big sums for car and holiday insurances, and then little bits from trying to remember to use it for everything I buy online); the HiPG is included in that; the £100 I was given by my grandparents last weekend; interest from my savings account and ISA; a few £10 wins on Lotto and £20-something for "recycling" two old mobiles on envirofone. There was £240ish in there from when I was first pregnant too - can't remember where that came from.

Will go look at the statement and see if I remember anything else..

ETA: Anyhow, why such a bad day? *hugs* if you want them. Got yourself armed with chocolate and ice cream yet? Any more pains?

ETA2: Just looked at the statement.. The rest is just part of my salary which I've not frittered away for a change - I used to somehow spend about £600 a month on "stuff". I set up a DD to pay £150 at the beginning of the month into a savings account, then put in whatever was left in my account the day before payday. Started that at the beginning of April, so there's £150 from the beginning of the month, the £200 that was left at the end of the month and £150 from the beginning of May. There won't be much left at the end of this month though cos I've been spending on the house from my current account too.
