    Scrapbooking is fun - but prob more fun once bubs comes and you can start a 'life story'. I have a scrapbook with loads of pics of me and OH though. Ebaying too, selling loads of stuff and making it all end so you only need to go post office once or twice a week! Erm baking??? I always said i would but never did, lol! Oh Sims on the PC used to be my vice, lol - i'd play it for hours!

    My boobs are really sore - underneath is really painful. Anyone had this or know why maybe? I haven't been measured yet and am wearing my old underwired bras from just after i had DD - maybe it's the wire. Ouch - it's really painful :( And i had to take out my nipple peircing a few weekss ago too which has already closed so i'm a bit upset.

    I do like making stuff, but i've already done my xmas cards :D
    I need a printer so i can print all my photo's out into a scrapbook for OH's birthday. I was going to do one of our life so far, then leave sections for the baby and then for our wedding, etc :)

    I tried ebaying but hated the going to the PO bit. But now i know there is a PO opposite my house i might try that again soon.

    Tried baking, OH doesn't eat any of the stuff i make though so i have to throw it out lol.

    And i love sims! I have it on my phone :D
    I do want sims 3, maybe i'll get it for my birthday :D

    I cant remember if i had sore boobs lol. I've been wearing my maternity ones for so long i've forgotten how wired bra's feel :rolleyes:

    EA - the simple invite sound fine to me. Oh and am bored already too, specially as OH doesnt want me doing anything strenuous! Downloaded cradle of rome and played that for 80 mins solid earlie but now the free demo has run out :( will have to look fo another copy I think hehe.


    Had a lovely long shower earlier, was so nice on my back didnt want to get out! Does anyone elses bump ache from time to time?

    Yeah OH doesn't even want me to tidy things away lol. I mention that i'll sort out something in the house and he'll say "No its fine i can do it later" :p
    I love hot showers, our shower is rubbish as its attached to the taps and it dribbles out lol. Doesn't even cover my back.
    So i've taken to baths now, just heating the water so i can have one soon :D
    And yeah my bump aches alot, i think it depends on her position at times, as she'll move then i will feel fine for a bit until she moves again

    I'm back from the doctors, she was really nice and signed me off work for 2 weeks. I'm not too sure how I feel about that, it's a relief to know I've got a bit longer off but I'm also worried that it's a bit too long and I'll find it really hard to go back afterwards iykwim

    She had no suggestions for anything I can do to feel better - guess I've just got to ride it out

    Only craft project i have is to paint the mug i bought for OH for xmas, and fill it with sweets and tissue paper :D

    I found the idea for it on the mse xmas gifts under a fiver list thing.
    But i couldn't find a mug he would like, so i thought i'd paint one for him :)

    Yay - its fab isn't it! I couldn't bring myself to buy it new spesh with just OH working, money is tight - but if you got it (especially the buzz 4) for just £300 then you did amazingly - how on earth did you do that? I nearly paid that on Ebay for a nearly new red set, lol!

    We are going to get the carseat too - prob black as i think it looks so sleek on the chassis. Going to get that second hand too as we don't drive so it'll only be used on the frame.

    Ah you don't have that long left to wait now for the little man ;) Give it 6-8 or so weeks and start practising your star jumps like Beenie did, lol :j

    That's a really good idea. We couldn't think what to buy for DD's godmum (my best mate) so we did this - found a little kit on littlewoods and she did a handprint and ''i love my godmummy'' and godmums name on the other side and when we gave it to her she was really choked up. I think she uses it at work now as she is so proud, lol.

    i had lots of discount codes thanks to somnium :P , also found a good bargain with the carrycot from kiddicare , down from £169, to £69.99 , so all our stuff came to about £420 incl car seat base etc , should of been over £700, so was well chuffed , and then all of quidco too ,
    If you have the buggy and carrycot , and dont drive why do you need to get the car seat to clip on pram , personally i wont be using the car seat on the frame will be using the carrycot till its old enough for the buggy as you get the thicker bit for younger babies , i did see a baby the other day in the car seat bit on the frame , and it was so in the wind and looked very cold etc i personally didnt like it , so i def not using the car seat bit except in car

    has anyone got a recipe for hot lemon and honey as i feel really rough and bought the lemons and honey but no idea how to do it

    ALbionsarah congratulations and yes 9cm would explain the pain :rotfl:

    Polka hope all goes well and what a lovely thing for DS to do with his presents,

    EA it's you and OH's wedding who cares about Surnames on a bit of paper no one will really pay attention too!

    CARCGirl lovely little bump,

    MGEB some women just don't get along with wired bras during PG, You can get some lovely maternity/nursing bras now, time to shop i think.

    Som I live with back ache constantly even before PG, although i have given up stretching as bump dose not approve:rotfl:

    Nikki can't help with the recipe i just throw anything in lol and it usually has whiskey :rotfl:

    MMMMmm just making stew for dinner and the smell is making me soooo hungry, I wonder if i can sneak a bowl with a slice of bread without anyone noticing lol

    Beenie, do you have a name yet for your pink bundle of joy?
