Just had a bonanza spending spree, MSE-style :money:

Pampers nappies at Boots - buy two & get third free on the large packs, plus savings on the smaller packs. OH thought I was mad getting that many, but I had heaps of Pampers MOC to use on them too!

And then into the Asda Home store (curiously we have one separate from the huge Asda), got a 2.5tog Pooh sleeping bag reduced down to £5

Aww hugs Squishy. The baby will be totally fine (you know that deep down anyway I am sure). You are probably just emotional/hormonal, so take a deep breath and relaaaaaaax. When I had an argument with OH, I couldn't stop crying. The more I thought about it, the more I was convinced that my shaking and crying would damage baby and the worse I got! OH was telling me to calm down, but the more he said it, the more I cried. lol. Babies are hardy wee things anyway and some go through much worse than a wee squish!

Good bargains Tigster. We have a separate Asda Home store too nearby. Might pop in on way home tomorrow as don't have any sleeping bags yet.

Thanks Actually, the guilt is running pretty deep: I'm still at the stage deep down that I'm worried I've damaged the placenta or something and won't find out until a lot later and the baby will have been affected badly by it I just hope I get back on a bit more of an even keel feelings wise soon...

Hey Skinty sounds like my OH. I read an article in an old You magazine over the weekend about treating your OH like he's your employee (giving him a list of things to do, asking why he hasn't done such and such and taking over the control of almost everything in the household like booking holidays, sorting finance and general upkeep of the house).

I realised that is exactly what I do especially since my fella moved in with me from his parents and I'd been independent for years. I feel I am the voice of experience!! I'd already started talking at him about what will need doing when I'm in hospital! Anyway the article went on to suggest that you stop taking on everything yourself and stop asking him whether he has done what he was supposed to (it said that they are less likely to do anything if you keep on at him). I'm trying to give this ago as I'm starting to realise I'm a complete control freak and must be a pain to live with.

Have stopped telling him what needs doing (with the exception of the little tantrum I had when once again he pretended not to hear the cat shouting meowing at the bedroom door for an hour during the night). Finding it really hard though, I'm pretty certain we'll get the gas cut off, never go on holiday again, be living in a sty, garden will become a jungle etc etc......:rolleyes:

Fidget, this is SO me and OH. i'd lived away from home for 5 years since i went to uni, then he moved in with me straight from 24 years with his parents!

I can't help taking control & telling him what he needs do & checking he's done it. I do pretty much everything anyway so i don't feel too bad. Plus i've learnt never to expect too much so i can be pleasantly surprised. i find if i give him a list with a few stuff on, he'll do the easiest couple, but its still less for me. Or if i tell him to do something before he goes to work, he might not do it but he'll do something else, however small, cos he feels bad otherwise!

I have tried not to before, but i find its not that he doesn't want to do these things (well he doesn't but thats not the main reason), it's mainly that he would never ever think 'oh, the carpet needs hoovering' or 'the bathroom looks dirty - i'll clean it'. its just not the way his brain works! Bless him, i blame his mother for not training him well enough. :rotfl:

He does keep saying he'll get better when baby comes along but we'll wait and see...... :rolleyes:

I hope you do feel better soon Squishy. Some things I can be quite uptight about, but other things I am not. I think things like that I just feel there is no point in worrying as you can't change anything, and I just have faith that it will turn out ok. But I know everyone is different and what stresses me, might not stress you out.

Feels a bit strange tonight. DH is off to London tomorrow and has to be up at 4am to catch a flight, so he is sleeping in the spare room tonight. He has been away for weekends before etc, so it's not because I am on my own, but it's weird that he is in the same house and not here! However, my back has suddenly become really sore since last night (there's always something new), so I am looking forward to being able to toss and turn in my big bed to get comfy.

Awww, baby will be fine hun, I've done that loads of times (lazy parking at the shop against the wall but then I either have to climb over to get out the passenger side or squeeze out) and DS2 is always jumping on my bump/kicking it/punching it... in a loving way apparently...

I do wonder sometimes about whether or not I'm speaking the same language as the husband.

He's just been watching an instructional video from the 1960s, called Caught In The Act, about a mother catching her son masturbating and apologising for not respecting his privacy. He asked if I wanted to see it again. I said no, so he started it again in case I really did want to see it and was just saying no for some inexplicable reason.

More annoying is that we're still getting some of those horrible bugs. We're no longer infested the way we were, but we still have to kill a handful a couple of times a day. I suggested we just throw out all the foodstuffs they were nesting in, saving ourselves tons of time at the expense of some little-used stuff. He said no. He's currently <brag> baking me cookies</brag> and went to the baking supplies. The walnuts, which he insisted we keep, are full of them. You'd swear I never suggested getting rid of them, and now I'm worried about the integrity of everything else in the walk-in.

Still, my lovely husband makes me cookies because he loves me and life is good.

Evening Ladies and Bumps

Just got back from seeing Ice Age 3 in 3D. It was really good, very funny and cute in parts too, deffinatley recommend it for a lighthearted chill out film. My first 3D too so was impressed with that. was very MS as well not only did we use our orange wed ticket but the necter points too so didnt cost us a penny

Any hoo back on topic ..kinda...

I can confirm that the blackout curtains from littlewoods, were not only a bargain as well as looking and feeling nice, they actually work too and am managing to sleep for a couple more hours each morning, always a plus.

If anyone is after a monitor and doesnt mind pink then the Tomy Walkabout Premier is half price atm (normally £59.99) at Mothercare, fab monitor if you dont need digital.

Was lucky enough to be invited to join the ebay thingy, not sure how much benefit it will be but, every little helps as they say

Hi girlies

Just popping in to say hi !! Have been busy at work and have to do another 2 weeks of nights starting next week (YUK) We also have a patient with swine flu in the hospital but thankfully not on my ward!!! However the nurses from the ward he is on are allowed to go down to the canteen and mingle with staff, patients and visitors which I find bizarre.

Anyway my pg brain has completely turned to mush, a friend emailed me this....

A kiddies test apparently!! However I have been sitting for ages and cannot do it, oh the shame!!!

Done it
