MSE Pregnancy Club 17

Thanks everyone - and extra giggles to EA and gymfiend! Only because those are some of the exact same thoughts I've had Because baby is a "surprise", I was convinced I'd made it up at first - took four tests before I started to believe it!

Lol EA I bought a 2 pack and used both of them, to make sure the first one wasn't just fluke, you're obviously more restrained than me :rotfl:

Right I've got 3 things up, only about a million to go!

Just put some curly fries in the oven to tide me over til tea, what a fatty

Well i also used about 7 ebay cheapie ones, and 2 tesco own brand ones over the next few weeks! lol.I only bought the clearblue as the first two ebay cheapies were so faint i could barely see the line, but i knew it was there And i needed it in words to prove it before i used anymore haha.

ETA: Also... I did an ovulation test the other day (and im 26 weeks! lol) I was curious as to what would happen, as it was an ovulation test and not a pregnancy test. It came up positive within 5 seconds haha x

I don't mind selling stuff on eBay - I've been VERY lucky so far and only JUST had my first "difficult" buyer this week (after years of selling random stuff off and on). I posted on the eBay board about it, but basically guy moaned that this suit (which I bought for hubby but was too small, so I was selling on) wasn't "M&S" brand, but "St Michael" which is actually an old brand of M&S. What a brand snob :rolleyes:

Anyway, took care of most of my "Christmas shopping" today online which was basically sorting out my sister & her fianc!! Her b-day is on the 20th, which is always a pain (says the one who wants to have a baby with the same sort of birthday! ). I can be lazy on my dad's pressie as he's coming to visit in Jan and we can do gifts then. I'll let DH worry about the ILs, but I've already sorted the females gifts via the M&S 3-for-2 half price bath sets thing a couple weeks back.

How do I stop eating so unhealthily?! Have plenty around the house, but things like bread & sweets just seem so much more appetizing

the only way I get around this is by not having the bread and sweets around in the first place (she says as the cupboard is full of lollipops, popcorn and breadbreadbread!) I'm not good with self restraint either! I have heard of someone who freezes bread and only defrosts a couple of slices at a time - though that's a bit extreme for me!

Haha what a fool! Is he getting a refund or anything?

I haven't even started xmas shopping! :eek: I tend to put it off until nearer xmas. I was going to get it out of the HIPgrant, but i still haven't sent the form off.

And its so hard to eat healthily isn't it? I have a bag and a half of apples in the fridge, and i've just been eating stuff i bought for OH to take to work, like crisps and time out bars (he's one of them lucky people that can eat whatever crap they want and never put on an ounce lol) And im about to make myself an instant pasta 'n' sauce for dinner lol.

What i really want is bagfuls of Peanut Brittle. Im going to buy some at the 99p store tomorrow

Well now that I'm on ML the temptation is even greater! I don't usually keep huge amounts of sweets around either - this is a recent thing! Just need to resolve that I don't get things like sweets or slices of bread with cheese unless I've first had an apple or something. Also re-instate rule of at least 1 veggie per dinner (have been lazy lately and not doing this every meal).

I tried to offer a partial refund b/c I didn't wanna be !!!!!d with refunding/reselling but he insisted on a full refund, so I'm having him send it back to me - a bit stupid of him really as it costs £5 to ship! And the suit only sold for £17 in the first place, so he had a real bargan to begin with!! It's a really lovely suit and perfect condition, so no idea why he was so bothered about the brand. Men. :rotfl:

What a muppet :rolleyes:

I had someone bid on two bundles of baby clothes i put on the other week the same person won both of them and then never paid :mad: I wouldnt mind but she won them for 99p each aswell!!! :rolleyes:
Eventually managed to relist them when i could close the dispute a week later and they still only sold for 99p i only put them on as it would have taken me forever to list them all individually, the really annoying thing about it is the odd few bits i did put on individually went for more than 99p each
I have a bundle of newborn clothes on there at the moment if they dont sell this time round (3rd time they have been listed) i think im just going to do them all individually! I just want it all out my house before bump arrives, really running out of time for people to be messing me about now :rotfl:

Should of said "Well its not as if anyone is going to be checking the label when you wear it are they?" :rotfl:

Hopefully it comes back to you in perfect condition

Right off to make my very unhealthy, but oh so lovely, pasta 'n' sauce (and 2 slices of bread so i can make a pasta sandwich hehe)
