  • Phew - just about caught up now - you lot can really talk!
    Congratulations Bear and welcome Nathaniel!
    Quick question about NCT sales - do you need to be a member to go along? (Sorry if it's really obvious or been asked before)
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
  • You dont need to be a member but most let members in first before the general public. Some by 15 mins and some by 30 I think, sure I read it somewhere but cant remember now.

  • Hey Redstar, IIRC you don't have to be a member but you can get in about half an hour before if you are a member.

    Hope you get some good bargains! x

    EDIT - I'm too slow at this!!

    I'm not a member and I know members get to go in first but I will be there as soon as the doors open. I think if you offer to help as well you get to buy early.

  • Yay, Fitz! I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to hear news of your baby.

    Helen- sorry you're having a tough time at the moment. It sounds like you're being a really good friend and hopefully things will be easier now you've finished work.

    Sat here in my dressing gown at the moment enjoying my first day off. I haven't had a whole weekend off for a couple of months so it feels like a real treat. Off to get my haircut at 10am. Had a lovely evening yesterday just chilling out with friends in a pub, but then woke up at 3am with really painful cramp in my calf. It's still sore now, so won't be walking anywhere much today.

    Ive still got 6 weeks in work then one week AL and ML's due to start 6 days before my due date. Would love to finish earlier but really could do with the cash as for working October I get 3 x more bonus than any other month of the year as we have our sale on.

    I can only finish earlier as im not going back to work after ML, im going onto college then uni :)
    Just so happens that ML finishes as college starts :D

    The only extra cash we get is triple pay on new years day, but i dont want to work it lol. So im making OH work it :D

    Good luck to fitz!!! How exciting :D Hope you have your baby in your arms next time you post!! :D

    I cant wait to start RLT, it sounds yummy haha.

    Oooh, moving on Monday into the new house :D We have thought of another job for me, if OH's sister comes to help i'll look after her baby :D

    I have so much underwear, i have managed to fill one big bag full and i still have more to go :eek: Then there's all my clothes. think i'll be needing the bigger wardrobe :rotfl:

    Anyone watch Derren Brown last night? Anyone get stuck in there seat? lol.
    I didn't, booo :(

    I've woken up with a cold:embarasse. Not happy at all. Supposed to be going out for my last night out with friends for a while and was really looking forward to it. Not really sure if I should go now. Don't want to make it worse since I'm so close to having baby.

    Though I guess a sneezing fit could help her come out quicker:eek:

    Sounds like a lovely day GISI, would love to have my hair done again. Can't believe my roots are starting to show, only had it done 3 weeks ago. Is still lovely and shiny though.
