Courgette

Hi ladies!

Just had a quick skim through:

Bufger - hope everything's okay. Go back if you're at all worried

Kitkat - I agree with the others, he needs a firm talking to

Couldn't see any news on CAFC - has that young man of her's finally made an appearance!

Can't remember what else

Great to be back at work but am seriously knackered. Having loads of really strong Braxton Hicks today, I don't remember having any of these with DS. Hubby's cut my toe nails and shaved my legs for me this evening, that's love innit

courgette - I was wondering how you were getting on.

My dinner is seriously repeating on me tonight...doesn't usually happen but I still feel full despite eating at 6.45!

My hipg took about 8 days aswell, I think other people were saying about a week to ten days. I reckon the hipg will defo go after the budget and the surestart will probably be for a lesser amount or tighter criteria. All I need to do now is sneeze baby out before August 1st and It'll get the ctf at a better rate and I'll be a happy bunny

this is why I don't want to leave it until august as i reckon it'll be scrapped. It's not fair as I feel like whenever it's my turn they always scrap stuff! I can't apply for it any sooner as I don't get tax credits as I'm 24 with no kids currently!

My midwife says she normally does the hipg form at 28 week appointment as she does the MATB1 at the 25 week one and sometimes the hipg one gets returned if it's too early. I will ask for it anyway at 25 week appt I think as I'll be a day short of 26 weeks then.

Still haven't spoken to my boss about working from home 1 or 2 days a week I really must do! Am really taking it slower at work now and it seems to be helping. Have said that after tomorrow other people will have to lead the lunchtime walk as 45 mins is too much for me now.

sir monster does 10.30 ish at the nero near EC station work for you on thurs? I will need to be near there to meet my friend and can get off the bus there, and you off tram/bus I'm guessing?

Well i have just learnt something new, i bought a book the otherday for the OH someone here said it was good called pregnancy for men The whole 9 months. well i thought i would have a gander and under pregnancy symptoms it covers heart burn which i know alot of you ladies suffer with it says in here to take your gaviscon or what your using at least 15minutes before you eat to give your stomach chance to absorb it taking it after once the heartburn starts means all it does is coat the food you have just eaten and although that helps it isnt half as effective. I never knew that but then i am blonde so maybe its just me :-S

I never knew that either Xmas!! I have had terrible heartburn all tonight been drinking milk as sometimes that helps. Will defo try that tho!

I was given something resembling a shrunken head and a slice of bathmat... I had to ask what it was.. apparently it had previously been a baked potato and an omelette!!

Redmel... me too! When I read that I was in work and my manager asked what was wrong with me!

I hope to get the HIPG form at 28 week appointment along with my MATB1 form, this is slightly late but I've covered it with work so would be submitting that when I get it on tues next week.
