    I have no idea!!!:rotfl:

    It says on the special tube thing how to get them out without touching.

    *Off to google*

    tip them into the lid and tip into mouth from the lid also withot touching the lid!..

    You contaminate them by touching them and negate their potency and use.. it is the same for all homeopathic remedies.. no touchy!!

    I must be in the MSE minority because my OH is (mostly) fantastic :D He's much tidier than I am, and has been known to send me to my mum's for the weekend and clean everything in my absence :p He's been OK at not nagging as well, probably because now he can actually see I'm in pain a lot of the time and how tired I am.

    Also he's taken to taking the kids out on walks and to the park so that they're tired and go to sleep when I want them to! I think we'll be doing more further afield in the Forest in September, hence the all terrain buggy :rotfl:

    If you'd walked into my kitchen this morning you would have thought the world's worst students had moved in :o It's my fault but I feel like I can hardly move - SPD giving me grief and then I feel like I'm going to pass out every 5 minutes, I keep having to go and sit down!

    I have now found my kitchen, it's quite shiny :eek: and the washing machine had 2 clean out washes, a 90 degree with bleach and a 60 degree with vinegar because if you left it for more than ten minutes without emptying it it smelled like it had been left for days.

    I've also been clearing the floors in here and putting neutradol down (I'm convinced it stinks) then I'm going to get a push on to get all the dirty washing clean, then get the mountain under control tomorrow so it's all done at once.

    It's so damn muggy here, the house feels like a sauna!

    Hello everyone - I'm tentatively dipping my toe in over here from the Less Than 12 Weeks thread, as I'm 12+6 today :) Still not feeling completely confident that I'm out of the scary pre-12 weeks woods yet but I thought I'd say hello anyway! I've had a private scan at 11+4 and everything was perfect, I have my NHS one next Tuesday at 14 weeks which I'm looking forward to as I think I'll feel a bit better about everything then.

    Mind you, my paranoia hasn't stopped me buying anything - I actually don't think I need any more 0-3 month clothes! Also have a moses basket, a bottle steriliser, changing mat, baby gym...millions of nappies...etc...!

    Firstly let me say SORRY before i begin :o:o:o

    I know that some of you ladies are really being but through the ringer at the moment.

    I just needed to pop on and have a mini rant :mad::mad::mad:

    I am so fed up of feeling bloated Heavy & huge :( I went to wear one of my mat dresses today only to discover that after wearing it once it now no longer fits me as my boobs are too big :(:mad:

    I can't believe that I am only 21+4 and I now have such a long way to go :eek: I am about the size now that I was full term with my daughter and can't comprehend how I can possibly get bigger and stay sane :eek::o:o

    Sorry ladies just needed to vent :o
    If you can think it........it will happen

    You can have my sympathy Tink, I am as big at 13 weeks this time as I was at 7 and a half months last time (been comparing photos this morning), so it's going to get worse for me too.

    I am grumping today as well, I had my carpal tunnel op on Friday, so my hand is full of stitches and covered in a huge bear-paw bandage. It's meant to be in a sling too, but I just can't manage that as well, being on my own at home with 20 month old DS. I can't have the painkillers I had for the last one because I'm pregnant, so my hand and wrist are sore, and DS doesn't understand to be gentle or careful. We're having a tv and Duplo day because I can't drive or push the buggy, and I just can't face the battle of wills it currently takes to make him walk anywhere.

    Still, good excuse for fish and chips for tea, and MIL is coming over tomorrow to look after us both so she can wear DS out for me! Might get her to take us both strawberry picking. Plus, that's both hands sorted now, before I have two little ones to deal with, I'm very pleased they were able to do the op while I was pregnant.

    *Waves* Hi Lillian, nice to see you here!

    I've had trouble convincing the kids that I'm not feeling well today. DD1 wanted a music channel on earlier (not a problem - we like a bit of music and my mp3 player is off limits or they'll trash the joint when I cant hear them!) but she put a rubbish one on and the twins keep running about saying 'bikinis on top' from that stupid Katy Perry song :wall:

    We're now watching the new(ish) magic roundabout film. Must look to see when it's next on and record it! I really like it, and if the kids are happy to watch it it's good with me!

    Congrats to all the graduates, I'm sure someone will edit the list (I'd be too tempted to make the font bigger so I don't see how near the top I am now :o)

    I'm also just as big now as I was when mine were born, I'm hoping my stretch marks don't get any higher up, it's already my whole tummy :mad: Bearing in mind I had a 10lb baby and twins that doesn't look good :o

    I'm hoping its because of my flab, I've never started a pregnancy as big as I did this time.

    ETA: We'll be having takeaway too unless super tidy OH volunteers to cook, I didn't tidy the kitchen and put the dishwasher on 4 times to start over again tomorrow :rotfl:

    Afternoon All.

    Welcome Lillian.
    PP please look after yourself, as dont know what we will all do without your advise and experience!

    No rant from me today, in fact I am quite happy (well for now). Was a little worried earlier as havent felt bubs move much over the last few days, but after a pack of sweets he's bouncing off the walls. Have also been a bit strange the last few days, had 10hrs sleep (no toilet break) on Friday nite, then 12.5 hrs sleep sat nite (with 1 toilet break). But also been very very hot. Wonder if I had a bit of a bug!
