    I brought that knitting set from the magazine. What was it called ... Umm ... The art of knitting. Comes in folders. If anyone seriously wants it i'll scan it in so the full pattern is there and rubber out my pencil markings :rotfl:

    I'd love it if you don't mind? Tell me to bog off if I'm being a pain!!!

    I would love it but unfortunately I can't knit :( I wish I could - is it difficult to learn? (obviously not thinking of starting with the papoose! :rotfl:) My grandma used to knit all the time but she had to stop because she has arthritis in the hands :(
    Hmmmm! Right that's it Emsbet is going to learn to knit! :D

    Not a problem hun! I'll do it in a bit just watching Murray :rotfl:His looks are nothing like Henman. I do miss him ...

    I think the wool cost be around £10-15. Took me 3 months to knit. I spent around 2 hours or so a day on it sometimes more sometimes less. Sometimes missing out days so nothing too hardcore. If you spend longer guess you can do quicker.

    I want a copy too please, because I am going to get my Nana to teach me (again!) how to knit!

    Why can't the stalk just drop baby off in a Papoose!

    Rebekah - portugal sounds lovely, here's hoping your IBS stays away (I am a fellow IBS and HS sufferer, so I know about stress outbreaks. Boo!)

    Afternoon Ladies,

    Did everyone have a good weekend?
    WHAT was with the mad postings on Friday afternoon? It's taken me my whole lunch break to catchup :eek:

    So sorry to hear your news, Colli. I hope you and Mr Colli are doing OK.

    I got a second line on my OPK yesterday afternoon, did it on the off chance as I was about to get in the shower. I was so excited I ran down to show DH straight away. He was all google-eyed and asked if I was PG, had to explain this was showing the surge that precedes an eggie. Then he looked at it again and said "Umm, have you wee'd on this?" I gave him a Paddington Bear Stare and told him I hadn't run it under the tap for crying out loud, how did he think it came up? Grrrr :mad:

    Sooo, BD-ing took place on Saturday and Sunday evening and if He's up for it I'll be demanding tonight too ... and perhaps again tomorrow, just to be sure. That'll teach him!! ;)

    I am off to Ascot on Wednesday and I was wondering if I will be allowed a little drinky? It's a corporate do so the booze will be free flowing. I never get plastered but was wondering if a weak Pimms or two is acceptable?

    Don't want to risk anything but an eggie might be floating about or making a pleasure trip down a fallopian tube or something - don't want it to lose it's way!!

    Thanks
    Icey x

    I think that a few should be fine. Lots of women drink before they know they are pregnant and their babies turn out fine. I think it becomes more of a problem once the placenta has formed and bubs is geting it's nutrients from you. :)

    Please someone correct me if that's wrong though because I could have just made that up in my head! ;)
