Banana sandwich is good when you're pregnant Obi - tastes nice too!

OberonSH

Not for me, banananananas make me sick when not carrying small person. Ginger biscuits work, but have the side effect of making me the size of a house, even after small person has left the building.

Snaggles

Lol, okay, avoid the bananas then! Stick with the ginger biscuits and worry about the side effects later

Afternoon all you lovely lovely cheap people,

Works a bit slow, so thought I'd come one and bore you all rigid with my exploits. Feeling horribly sick now, and pretty grumpy. Sitting in the back of the shop ebaying stuff, cursing ebay over the mess they made with my account, and STILL haven't sorted, and swearing at old ladies under my breath. Devils in bobble hats, that's what they are. They lurch into the shop pushing their doomladen paisley trolleys like harbingers of pestilence and breath mints.

Only at the moment I'm hyper sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke and today I've had every chainsmoker in Scunny through my door. I had to hand over one lady to OH before the stench coming off her cardigan made me gag.

On the up side I got my £100 back from the courts as a refund for my questionnaire in the Barclays case, so that was nice.

OH is getting antsy about taking his old company to tribunal. They fired him on a very very flimsy exuse, really it was because he's got a family and they really don;t like that. They like single young lads who can stay late and do overtime. PLus they've witheld his pay since JANUARY and have not proved a P45 so now he can't ven get benefits. He's pretty nervous, as we know they're going to make a load of stuff up on the computer and bring it to the hearing, and make it look like they've done it by the book.

Still, can't complain, brough my lunch in today, and thus saved £10 we've been spending a day on lunch, so yay yo me. We're out tonight at a friends, and have someone coming over to see some furniture I've put in the small ads. That'll help towards our total, and get rid of some clutter.

Hope you're all having a penny pinching day, it's fairly warm here so makes you feel a bit better. That and the fact I keep looking at gorgeous florida villas on ebay and promising myself one of them before I'm 30.

I have read this thread with more interest than any other. Didn't just want to jump in but i see yoru suffering morning sickness. Coke is advised for sufferers of hyperemisis (bad morning sickness). I found coke and little sips of water helps. Plus juicy fruits like melon. Also cucumber. Hope this helps and hope the sickness eases soon i a suffered 4 time now with it upto 6 months.:)

At the moment I'd drink the rancid jelly from a scabby donkey's eye if it made me feel better!! Opened my ebay store, and having fun messing with that. Hopefully that will bring down my horrendously high fees. Imagine a life in my airy office, making a mint from ebay and not having to even talk to a nasty smelly old lady unless I intentionally went out to look for one...ahhhh....bliss....

*zippy*

Diet ginger beer guaranteed to cure morning sickness - let it go flat if necessary.

Good luck!
