The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

Birdie85

Ahhh bless your OH Flower! As long as he's not getting anything engraved with the date of birth on yet!

wendz86

I just had my check up and babies head is still not engaged and so doctor said i may be waiting a while grr. I can see me ending up being induced and not getting the water birth. Never mind though as long as baby gets here safe!

October is a great month to be born in hehe.

Dinah93

Still over 2 weeks until due though, I wouldn't worry yet.

Birdie85

Not as good as May!

Hope the baby sorts herself out soon Wendz. She's got a couple of weeks to get herself ready, hope you don't have to get induced!

wendz86

Yep hopefully she will be more ready at next appointment in 2 weeks. Gives me a bit more time to relax etc before as well.

Lol I read that and thought he said 'can I be grandfather'... my gut reaction was time and biology had already decided that one!

Bollox to biology - I'm an only child so have appointed myself 'Aunty' to all my friends' babies - I won't be one otherwise So nice to hear Sam call me Aunty Lucy So far I've collected a 'niece' and a 'nephew' and have two more on the way!

Glad you enjoyed Room Cinny, it's not the sort of thing I'd necessarily normally read but I picked up my friend's copy and like the style of it, and it's one of those books you just race through. I counted my to read pile again last night, it's at 80. I copied on of Dinah's 101 things to get it under 20 so we'll see how that goes

Hope everyone is well

LOL, I like the idea of you collecting other people's children Tete! Well done on getting a 101 things list too! Last night I started working on another of my things to do (a crafty project), it was the first time I've sat at my desk to do something properly crafty (and not wedding related!) in about a year, it felt lovely! Of course, my desk which was nice and tidy is now a mess again, but what can you do?!

OH bought me The Room for Xmas and I haven't read it yet! Must pull it out and read it, as I have gotten back into reading lately.

Both myself and Max are sick with flu/cold type things and OH has had to take work off to mind us. Hope it clears for us in time to fly home tomorrow.

We booked our holiday apt so it works out £212 per adult. Pretty pleased with that!

Oooh didn't know you've got a 101 things list - is the link on your blog?

I need to find a mens suit pattern from the 1940s...and make it.... this doesn't sound like a quick project but I need it for a street party. Did i tell you I got a dummy on ebay last week?! I can finally make clothes to my own measurements not fit them to NIM!

This means another thing crossed off my 101 things list - bringing me to 6%

That's great that you're back to doing things just for fun. I raelly wish I could do that, everything seems to have to have a purpose with me at the moment. It's starting to drive me mad I have to justify how I spend my time to myself.

Listed quite a few bits on ebay last night, and have £49 of bids in total. Going to try to get another 10-15 things listed tonight - photo uploader slows me down so much!

And to bring me to 7% on day zero - this morning I weighed in at under 10stone for the first time since coming back of honeymoon. Which is good news. I'm now about 6lbs heavier than when I got married, so getting back to that weight is my next milestone, before going on to getting under 130lbs.

Went to see the docs last night, and luckily I've already had all the vacinations for Turkey - I got told off for not submitting the form with 8 weeks to go but I pointed out I was a bit more impulsive than that and I wasn't planning to go until a whim hit me on Saturday morning. She also gave me some nice anti-anxiety tablets to get me on the plane so I don't have to get them illegally from my cousin who worked for a private GP. I also got a MS for a champagne bar and a restaurant at the airport yesterday, nice way for me and my friend to jet off in style.

Oooh Wendz I hope your baby comes on my birthday, 22nd April :rotfl: Hehe. Flower sorry to hear you are signed off. Hope you are chilling hard

I arrived safely in Kampala yesterday and am sitting on the terrace with the laptop using the newly installed wifi, yippeee! Shame there is a problem with the water :rotfl: Oh well, I'm so addicted to internet I am not sure which I would rather have.
