  • And congratulations EA :D

    I did a test about 10 days po and nothing showed on it, so I put it in the box and in the bathroom bin... I did another a couple of days later and for no reason at all, I fetched the earlier test out of the box and there was a line on it... As I looked at the fresh test, a line just appeared and got darker... I knew I was pregnant by then though... I knew the night before I did the 2nd test...

    To those that did a couple of orders for free books... Did you open a new account in someone elses name or just do another in your own name?

    There were a couple of 99p book sets that might be worth getting for Aimee to put up for when she can read a bit better...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Congratulations EA!!!

    With Amber I knew but I was about 5/6weeks. Still, I did one test that had a +, didn't beleive it so did one that had a 'Pregnant' didn't beleive that, did one at the GP surgery that had a line, had another positive at the hospital and I still lay down on the scan bed saying 'it'll just be one of these chemical or phantom things'. I believed it after seeing a wee totti egg and sac.

    With Chris I knew almost straight away. I was sick almost straight away (we worked it out that I must have conceived on the Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, implanted for the Saturday (I was dizzy) and started throwing up on the Sunday) Tested on the Monday but I knew.

    I forgot the rest I had to say because I had a big sleep and now feel like a Zombie.

    I'm on the hunt for a cheap sleepbag (12months +), Next have a nice one at £22 but hmm.... eBay ones any good? Because the sleeping bag is working great for Amber but its a bit neat the one we have borrowed.

    Tia, try Asda :) Think theirs were about £6-8 last winter. Rhys' are from M&S, think they were £16 but bought with some sort of discount code or other. All equally nice - only reason I didn't use the Asda one was it's got WTP on it :p

    Asda had none in the other day, tescos may have some (and there are a few cardigans in tescos that Amber neeeeeeds). But thats a better price :D

    Found one in Asda £10

    To those that did a couple of orders for free books... Did you open a new account in someone elses name or just do another in your own name?

    I cheekily used the same account, it still took the code so.. theres quite a lot in the 99p section isnt there,

    pic time:D

    Jake is so cute, JM!

    ...and now baby brain has just eaten everything I just read and now cannot remember what needs commenting on.

    Oh and if anyone has non-British spouses/friends/whatever, be advised that UKBA phone monkeys are MORONS. Long story, but I needed to change my appointment date and you cannot do this online - so I phoned to cancel the old and book a new one and they said they didn't have any appointments open until mid-October. I was like whatever, when I booked online last week there were at least 3-4 appts available every day. So I just cancelled and left it for the new one. Once the cancellation came through, I went online and looked and there's several appointments showing every day all throughout September. Numpty, I knew I was right!!

    Uh-oh, can hear poopspolosion noises coming from behind, be right back!!

    I love that first time they laugh... It completely takes you by surprise and then you spend ages trying to get them to do it again lol...

    3 - are the handles on your fridge like a bar or a curve if that makes sense? if a bar then ikea do a lock that would work on the handles, if not can you reach the top? you could use this type http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80108935 I have those on my fridge (not a fancy American style one) I wouldn't bother with the similar locks that boots do that are a strip of rubber tho, we had those at first but after a month or so they fell apart.

    Tia I have a big sleeping bag you could have if you're not fussy? it doesn't say a size on it but IIRC its 12-18mth, its pretty plain cream or white with goldish bronze edging and says "best friends" or something on the yoke. I didn't use it so its as new, just been hung up in the wardrobe for 3yrs :o

    PS. To those lovlies that sent me a PM or commented on the other forum THANK YOU! :kisses3: I WILL finish replying to everyone today :) xx
