    lol i know :o but i got my loan and i am desperate for a new phone and i'd never be able to afford one otherwise. I rang my mother to talk me out of it but she said it's best i have useful things to show for the money.

    Mind you this all totally relies on ex giving me some money which he's now saying he will :rolleyes:



    edit - i do have some stuff to sell on ebay so i can make some of this up :eek:

    /convinces self

    Aw deary me! What a super saturday we all seem to be having.

    Nikkit - I really feel for you, there has been times when me and OH have nearly split up during this pregnancy, one where I moved out temporarily and one where I went "missing" for a while because despite doing no housework ever he complained I hadn't done the effing dishes while he was out. I ended up stranded in the torrential rain at 36 wks in an dark empty Next car park unable to restart the car! I even started flat hunting at one point which would've been a terrible upheaval.

    I know it seems really bad now, especially with your pg hormones and everything else you are having to suffer after your op. I would try and shut the door on it all if you can for a bit, otherwise it will get too much for you. If you manage to separate yourself from it for a bit, you will feel much calmer and more in control should any more crap come your way about your DD. Also if you get in the thick of it might cause the problem to escalate and you will both possibly end up at a point you will find it difficult to turn back from.

    Hiya Aless :wave: glad you are in the better group!

    Nanc - I know! I've got two days on you and I'm on my 10th box of RLT and have ate/drank so much pinapple/pinapple juice my mouth is red raw. I don't like curry but have had hot chilli and have bounced for England on my ball. I can't say at nearly 41 wks I feel like having much sex either. I'm convinced none of it works! And yes Fitzio you are right - I have thought it's ok doing all these things but some of it is surely going to give you a gyppy tummy!

    Kindof - what a pain your neighbour is! Hope the winter makes him give up his diy hobby for a bit!

    EA - I got loads of headaches to around the same stage as you but I can honestly say I've not had one since about 26 wks so hopefully its a hormone thing that will pass.

    Redmel - hugs sorry you are feeling rubbish x

    I've not had a great day so far but not as bad as some of you. My mum bought my DD a torch to use on halloween (which she is obssessed with) but no matter how we try, batteries will not fit properly nor will it work. At one point sparks were coming off it! DD, as some of you will remember me saying, is currently undergoing assessment to see if she has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. For some reason at the moment, probably the imminent birth of sybling, is causing her to go completely off the scale even more than usual when something either doesnt work or goes missing. We were trying to get her ready to go out but she was having a meltdown because of the torch insisting we should let her "fix it". Even promising to buy her a new one doesnt help.

    I then hobbled up to the loo and when I pulled my jeans down I heard something drop into the water. I shouted "Oh NO!" when I turned and looked. OH ran upstairs in a panic I was shouting "don't come in don't come in, it's really bad!" :eek:I didn't really consider until afterwards how serious this might sound coming from someone who is heavily pregnant and in the loo! Well I've not only dropped my iphone down the loo haven't I?! The screen started flickering and it looks like it has died. It's in the airing cupboard for now but I can't bring myself to look at it. I knew I shouldn't be trusted with one! OH bought it for my birthday brand new so it is not on contract nor is it insured :cry: It has been my lifeline while I've been pregnant and not able to move with the PGP/SPD. Don't know if it can be fixed.

    Awww Fidget :( have you got home insurance???

    I dropped a phone down the loo on a night out, sobbed like a baby cos it was new and cost me £200, I put it in the airing cupboard and it dried out and lived a long life, fingers crossed

    Haha, then its ok. If you really need it then shop away :D

    Haha im a rubbish influence. I just spent (well OH did hehe) £50 on a new fishtank for my fish. He was getting a bit to big for his current one, but he didn't really need a massive bio-orb one :p

    And now im convincing him to let me get some gerbils, £20 from a girl at work hehe.

    Haha i was just trying to justify a battery charger to OH for that same reason!
    I said over the next few years we'll be taking loads of pics and therefore getting through lots of batterys, which are expensive. Therefore a battery charger will save money. But he said it wont and they are rubbish lol.

    Its so hot in here at work :(

    beenie:

    havent caught up yet, but i think it was a bit overpriced , have you paid yet ? if not just don't pay and explain sorry didnt realise i dont have the money sorry , they can get all there fees back , and they can no longer leave negative feedback for you no more , i had someone do this to me recently it is easy for the seller to claim fees back etc.

    Argos are doing new one with free mega pack, free wii sports resort free super smash brawl and wii sports all for £179.99 and you get either free delivery also you get the £10 gift card from tomorrow i think

    HTH
    Dont forget that little Thanks button , only takes a sec

    EA tell your OH that kids toys go through battery's 10 a penny. I would never be without my rechargeable batteries now. saved a small fortune with the kids toys not to mention for remotes etc and when you consider what you pay for Duracell batteries for one toy(between 2/4)then how long they last, it is actually:money: to recharge them.

    They charge overnight so no rushing to shops when the cot mobile goes in slow motion lol

    And you cant pay it cause your pregnant and have no money, etc? :P
