Hi all

Just popping on from work to say scan was fine – everything that should be there is there and in the correct sizes! Didn’t find out the gender as we didn’t want to, so I am staying on team yellow. Was very impressed, we were there a bit early and went in at 8.50 for 9am apt, out at 9.15. Bit of a drag getting to work but got here about 11am in the end.

Will put pics on later. x

Hello all!

Back to work today, its 30 degrees c in my office :eek: feeling very warm!

Just read apparently the government are scrapping the Child Trust Fund scheme where you get £250 paid in on the birth of your baby and another £250 when the child is 7. Apparently its stoppin August! How bloody typical is that?!

Bufger; I know wot you mean about cars and being pregnant! 2010 really does seem to be the year to be pregnant, lots of people I went to school seem to be! I changed my car a couple of months ago and I am sure every other car on the road is the same one! I also follow one the same colour and registration to work every day! If lots of people have the same one its gota be that good everyone wants one! Lol.

Rach: glad your scan went well!

Confuzzled sounds like either bubs is laying on something they shouldnt or your stretching down there to accomodate. I used to get shooting pains down there with the last one it was bubs messing with things the little monkey. If they get any worse i would have a quick word with the midwife just to reassure yourself :-)

Thanks:D Think I've somehow made you my pregnancy advisor:o:p:rotfl:, I think it is bubs stretching coz it feel really hard and tight around that area today.
I'm starving no matter how much I eat it just isn't touching the sides!Blimming annoying! lol

I've just read that and I read it as CTF is being reduced from August and scrapped altogether come January?!?! Think another read of the article is in order:)..I'll be back!

Sorry Fuzz I think I read it wrong, think I read in on MSN and just noticed its on here as the latest news! Its just a pain to think they change it when its our turn!! I had this when I left college they brought in that thing where you get paid to attend the year I left, I was so annoyed!

Slm; I hope they dont scrap it! I think that £190 is so handy when your pregnant. I have had mine already but I think it is vital! Especially if you don't qualify for the SureStart grant.

I re-read it and it says reduced after august and totally gone by january! So we should get something:) I'm in the same boat as you..i always just miss out on everything gets really annoying! the only things I've ever managed to 'get in on' are the SATs for primary kids, I managed to hit the 1st year they did them at our school...thats how lucky I am:p:rotfl:
