Any news from Fuzz at all this morning?

Isn't tomorrow induction day for her?? :eek:

no, she said she would likely not post on MSE at the mo, but we could let people know via facebook, but she has not put anything on there yet either

Hngrymummy, I'll have one with brandy if there's not too much in them, could do with something to warm me up . They sound yummy, are they easy to make? Feel like making truffles for after baby arrives Emsy, that is if you could resist eating them all beforehand

Am off to spend my £5 debenhams voucher, wish me luck

Just called my mum and asked her or dad to do DD's school run this afternoon........prompting much "are you in labour" questioning!!

Just so uncomfortable, don't want to risk driving

Thanks emsy...and Giz twas not I who knew about tesco doubling-up. xxx

Argh - add that to the list of a million things I keep getting wrong Someone told me that the double up vouchers get EMAILED not sent in the post like I stupidly thought (it does say when you purchase them that they'll be posted - but on the front page it does say they'll be emailed). Anyhow, whoever it was thank you thank you thank you. Cos I'd be still waiting for my vouchers in the post! (Tesco email account is OH's and he rarely checks it).

I love receiving Xmas cards. I usually make them, but just don't have it in me his year, so am just making ones for the people closest to me and I just bought a cheapie pack for everyone else I hope to have all my Christmas shopping done by 1st December I'm probably 75% done now. But will need to make up the hampers closer to Christmas.

Good luck Ema. You won't need it. I used 4 and didn't have a single problem. What are you buying?

Well these ones are 180ml double cream heated with 28g butter. Then turn the heat off and add 8oz of dark chocolate and stir until melted. Add flavourings (Brandy, rum, whisky etc). Pop in the fridge to set overnight. Then the next day get em out and let them warm up a little. Scoop out teaspoon sized ammounts and roll in your hands (you may need to keep cooling your hands down in cold water to stop them melting) then roll in any coating you want to put on - cocoa powder, chopped nuts, icing sugar etc.

Keep in the fridge and eat within a week.

Emsy, I blame you for giving me weird dreams last night about being overdue. Although I think it was also kind of mixed up with dreaming about going to the loo and not being able to (am a bit bunged up again ).

Mmmmmm hngrymummy, I am definitely making some of those Wow doesn't sound worth buying them if you can make them with so little ingredients. I don't think they'd last a week so don't really need the use by date :rotfl:!! Am going to make some rum ones for OH, how much flavourings do you put in ish (sorry lots of questions!)

Result at Debenhams, got a cute little cheese dome gift set (Mrs Bridges), was £15, 20% off then with my £5 voucher think it was £7 Now just need to decide who wants it for Chrimbo, OH or some friends of ours, am tempted to give it to OH from the baby

Oh and thanks for the link to the surveys, have signed up now so fingers crossed Will look out for stuff like that so I have stuff to do when waiting for baby (see still on topic )

Hello Ladies,
I dunno, I spend time with MIL and FIL over the weekend, come back to post my scan pic and there's no where to post it~!!!
What did you ladies do while I was away!!! lol

Guess we wait and see when they decide when we can have our board back again. Please, soon!!!!

I have the builders tearing apart the house at the mo and it's painful and feels like it will never be done never mind the room in question ever housing the little one. Grr. But that's what I get for buying a house that was built in 1890. They didn't really do insulation in those days. How inconsiderate!!! lol

Congrats on team pink Sammy and team yellow for Grateful.
Laboury type vibes cos some folk still appear to be hanging on!!!!!
