meltdown_point

It is Somnium......but i have been saving all year:)

As the kids get older is seems to get even more expensive!!

UNTIL this year, 2 little ones are GETTING more spent on them as xmas and santa are all about them:D
the older ones have been on expensive foreign school trips this year....LOs get to the panto at a cost of £10!
LOs asked about seeing santa and the big ones said we want to too........yeah right it £10 each!! so im going to take LOs on the 19 Dec!!

I still have nothing in for baby yet........im waiting on the janurary sales!! And by my history, it will just be on time!! (I usually go 2/3 weeks early)

Evening, popping on quickly before i go cook dinner

My sister came round today, we were planning on doing the nursery, but we ended up just sat there talking for ages lol.
Then the baby started kicking so i laid on my back and she watched and felt the baby move!

Then she blew rasberrys on my belly and the baby responded by moving around lol. We tried to film it, but i think baby knew what we were upto and stopped moving. So we just have a video of her blowing rasberrys on my belly and me going "You can see my stretchmarks from that angle!" :rotfl:

Congrats to bumblebee!

Nikkit, i was afraid of that happening to me, with them not serving me lol.

Im ordering online as i see ages ago about quidco lol. I didn't mention it though cause i thought everyone knew

Meltdown - sounds like your well organised, that size of family seems miles away for us as its taken 6 years to get this far, just hope LO isnt an only chiled and we will be blessed a second time around.

EA - sounds like a fab afternoon anyhoo, shame bubs wasnt performing for the camera tho.

Anyone here any good at cameras? OH's eldest bro has offered to buy us a nice one for Baby/Xmas somewhere around the £150/£200 mark, but not too sure, like the look of the Finepixs2000HD.

Lovely lovely scan pics Kindof Isn't it amazing how they look like people already, I find it really hard to get my head around!

Gill I like ASOS maternity clothes - I have a few of these and this and this they're all very nice, they've got loads of other nice stuff too...now I just need the budget to accomodate..!! Thanks again for the voucher btw - went to spend it yesterday & got loaaaads for my money, picked up lots of clothes for my little sis for Christmas as she's getting to an age where she's into fashion so she'll be chuffed

Som the Panasonic FS15 is supposed to be very good - we've been looking at it or the earlier version the FS7, but struggling to decide between those & an SLR, but I'm lead to believe it's the best in its price range

Eek Meltdown, that's crazy money!

Christmas is beginning to wind me up - OH's sis has asked for clothes, essentially she wants vouchers. Not a problem if £20 would do, but we'll have to spend at least £40 We can normally hide the cost by buying from discount places online but the problem with vouchers is that you obviously can't, and we've run out of money for the month already, eurggggh. Oh & to boot, sold a few things on eBay & Paypal are holding the funds for 21 days :mad: ETA again, I'm not totally cheap btw, but we have his bro & sis and partners to buy for at the same cost, plus one child, 2 sets of parents, an aunt & uncle, 2 cousins, 2 step siblings & partners & 3 kids :eek:

ETA to balance out that little rant, we got a gorgeous little Benetton jacket delivered from eBay today for baby It's a quilted one that matches OHs...ooh & the sheepskin booties we ordered arrived (this also explains why we're out of money for the month:rotfl:)

Somnium

Aless - hope she's having cuddles too, theres no news on her FB page.

Gym - nice camera, but not quite what we were looking for, the S2000HD has a better zoom and also records in HD amongst other things, thanks for the recomendation tho.

gill_81uk

Gymfiend - thanks for that. Looks to be some good stuff on there. What is their sizing like? Have you just bought the size you'd normally wear? Also do you know if it's easy to return things if needs be?

gymfiend

I've never had to return Gill but have seen people posting things back at the PO to them, looks like you literally just pop them back in the post to them! Sizing has been fine, I'm usually a 12 and bought a couple of vests in a 12 and a 14, found the 14 too big, so I'd say go for your usual size

noooooooooooo, he's still in their and still making his mummy uncomfy :sad: - how many types of niggling but none productive pains have I had today?! I know I am only 3 days late but being very very impatient!

went round to inlaws earlier as dp had to help his dad fix the kicked in fence and MIL been shopping again - we now have more towels at their house than ours, a spare changing mat, a huge pack of pampers and a thomas the tank feeding set (that'll be for next Christmas, she likes to be prepared!). I wouldn't be surprised if they've got a spare cot and buggy stashed away somewhere even though I've said loads of times that'd be silly as they are only about 3 miles away!

have to go back to hospital again tomorrow as on 48 hours bp checks - one day one of these trips will be the last trip and I will come back with a baby!
