    Oh no Fidget, what a pain in the !!!! Still, it's good that you caught it so quickly, although it infuriates me that you have to call the bank to find out why the card's stopped rather than them calling you to say, Hey, we've seen some weird transactions, can you confirm they're yours please?

    I do get wriggling all the way down, and I can feel what seems to be a little hand sliding down my insides. I find that really freakish, actually. It always feels like I'm only supposed to talk about the good parts of being pregnant - but that starfish sort of feeling all the way inside makes me cringe a bit.

    I know i felt a right idiot when my card got declined and I even said "it must be the machine":o It was a good job I have another current account as don't know any of the pins for my CCs (can only be a good thing me thinks!) Bank woman said they stop the card as a way of getting you to call them up - well cheers luv a phone call may have been less embarrassing!

    Baby did this scrabbling all through the night as well and I kept waking up thinking "what on earth keeps doing that?" As if I'd forgotten I was pregnant at all! :rotfl:Ooh second night running dreamt about another man too - not so bad when they're famous people - not so good when they're your mates husband :eek::o

    I know!!! Thats why I am so hoping to have this induction (or for my early labour to move it's butt into full on labour). Tried to keep going but the SPD is back and I howl when changing gears, not so good when coming up to a roundabout and I don't want to brake cos I know it'll hurt!

    So annoying too as we have 2 cars and I'm not using any of them!

    NMS, she has been told to just wait till Sunday. Legs are crossed!

    When did you start your RLT? Realised I'm 32 weeks next week and with induction at 38 weeks, I thought maybe I should start it next week instead of the planned 34 weeks.

    Fidget - I had that about 8 weeks ago was when I was driving down the M1 and felt like he was trying to escape!!
    I now get feet in my ribs instead!!

    I sent the email Nicki wrote (thanks!!!) :D and have worked out that with the 19 days holiday and my overtime I'll get an extra £2,000+ but will have to pay tax, NI, pension and Student loan but every little helps!!!

    At least I might get a nice tax rebate at the end of the year!!

    TIA - nice bump!!!!

    Glam, last week (34) I started using it. But then only if I'm in the mood. I've stopped for a few days to see if it was the RLT that was making my section scar hurt so much, but it's tsill hurting so will go back to drinking it.

    fidget - i get those low down feelings too. bit freakily close to my bum for my liking, but she soon stops.

    Little girly H has two middle names and my surname and Madison, Lilia and Evie are some of the few that don't sound awkward when put either with all three or just surname. Have a couple more and 8ish weeks to go through the book again.

    I've just threatened my mum with calling her Oscar, which is the name they had for the giant spider that lived in the hall of the house they were in when I was born. She was not amused.

    Hello everyone :hello:

    Congratulations Skinty, so glad to hear everything went 'sort of' to plan and your baby girls here. And a lovely name too.

    My OH has been off work today so I got home to tea in the oven, a bath being ran and a coffee to take up with me! Now lay on the sofa watching hollyoaks and debating if the belly monkeys wriggling or not. Ive only started getting the definate stomach twitches in the last fortnight but yesterday she was really quiet. After a bit of prodding she did move a bit but I dont know if Im just worrying too much. I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow (yay for being viable!) but should I be feeling the '10 kicks a day' now :confused:

    Sorry for the long post, off to catch up now x

    Got home from work and OH has put the wardrobe, shelving unit and changing unit together. So now have no excuse to sort through the baby clothes i have. Think i need to put different sizes in different draws and identify each, just in case i do have section and have to get OH to bring more baby clothes into hospital. He is very good at "man looking" and will need to easily identify the correct size clothes that i want.

    That just leaves, the blind and cotbed. Things are actually coming together at last, and we are getting somewhere near organised.

    Right off to bring washing in. My mum did loads of ironing for me earlier in the week and now i have loads more:(. Hate ironing, hate it.

    Oh and congratulations Skinty.

    Ooh, you are so lucky! My OH is an angel, has just finished the nursery (which looks fab by the way) but doesn't understand how much I would love to come home to tea cooked!

    My midwife has never mentioned the whole ten kicks a day thing, just asks if I feel baby moving. Baby has been wriggling so much this past week- it's now waking me up!

    Skinty- Congratulations and thank you so much for letting us know. So pleased it went well for you, and Lilia is a very beautiful name :T.

    Tia- loving the bump pic. Will get OH to take one of mine this week. I think I'm pretty average for a six monther, and OH has commented that I'm not as hige as he thought I'd be- what a charmer.

    On the radio today they were talking about contraception and asked 'how good are you at safe sex'. My OH said he thinks he is very good at safe sex, I pointed out I had evidence to the contrary :rotfl:.
