  • I went as far as the soup stand downstairs, brr!

    Have you done any sewing homework? I was going to tack my skirt but then I thought I'd do that in the half hour at the beginning of the lesson where we're normally twiddling our thumbs!

    Zig, I went to *a* WW meeting and got all of the stuff but I haven't really been following it! I really need to get into it but I just can't be bothered! I want to get a few WW cookbooks so I can get some inspiration and I don't have to guesstimate how many points I'm having!

    It is hard to get into, but once you have done it for a while it becomes second nature.
    Skim reading :o

    Tete, I'm devastated that you don't read my slaved-over reviews :p

    How exciting about the wii Birdie, I love them they are fun. I am getting OH the Grand Prix game for xmas.

    My friend is due about the same time as you CMD and she has got quite a noticeable bump. We were making her go up to the buffet Monday for us so we didn't look greedy, we said she could get away with it hehe. Bless her she said I hope people think I am just fat. Have you bought any of your baby bits yet?

    I have restarted my computer so hopefully no more silly fits!

    Just had some brilliant news from OH; we've been massively overpaying our gas bills- we've been paying £68 a month and it turns out we've only used £28 worth in a quarter! OH rang them up today, reduced our monthly bills and got a £325 refund! Whoop whoop! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I was only joking! But good to know, I use the same tactics.. :p

    That's fab news Birdie! :D

    By the way DooYoo people, OH has agreed to go on DooYoo so I've set him up an account. He is gonna tell me his views and I'll write them cuz I'm quicker. :rolleyes: So if you get a Karlos (not his real name!) on your profile a lot that's why :)

    We have bought the pram (parents paid for that!), tens machine, resusable baby wipes and some bath products. We have also purchased a hypnobirthing course and are doing it on the 5th and 12th Dec.

    I have enough in Boots points to buy a good load of nappies and disposable wipes. We will be getting cloth nappies and will mix and match them with biodegradable nappies. All our products won't be tested on animals either. I know it is more expensive but we are quite eco-conscious plus I don't want the baby exposed to harmful chemicals. The cloth nappies are expensive to purchase but work out cheaper in the long run.

    Birdie - well done on the money back. That is amazing!
