    I can still hyperlink Lara! But I think the HTML is

    I love my ruddy big bag too, I just get sick of frantically searching for my purse when I'm doing the shop and even though I know it's in there, there's always a few seconds of dread when I think 'I left it at home. WHAT DO I DOOO?!' _pale_

    Congrats on passing your tests Zig! :j Hope you're treating yoursen plenty with all the hard work you're doing :D

    Seconding CMD in hoping Wendz's having a lovely time with her Mum getting ready for ze baby!

    Hi all,

    I am pretty good thanks although I managed to slip up on something in sainsburys yesterday and fall on my bum, wasn't a bad fall but shook me up.OH made me report it just in case and the customer service manager called me yesterday evening checking i was ok etc which was nice.

    We had a really nice lunch though yesterday. My Mum is just sat here in lounge with me knitting baby a cardy, is coming along nicely bless her.

    Well done for passing your tests Zig!

    Oh you poor thing. I slipped in Sainsburys once. On a tomato! Though I wasn't pregnant at the time.

    I bet it did. I have to say, having seen my niece at the weekend (who was 2 weeks early) I am now a fan of babies coming on their due date or after. She just seemed so fragile and sleepy compared to Max (who was 11 days over). I won't complain this time about going over. The babies are way more filled out!

    Gosh Wendz, glad you're OK and it was just your ego that got hurt! I suppose you can't really watch where you're putting your feet because your belly's in the way!

    Cinny, I have those panics a lot too, every time I go into a shop or pull up for petrol I dig my purse out to make sure I definitely have it on me, then I still worry when I don't pull it out at first rummage when I get to the till!

    That's a good way of looking at late babies CMD, although I'm sure that when it got to 11 days past the due date I'd be thinking, 'Alright, you're plenty filled out now, you're just being lazy!'
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Oh I was so over it by the time I got to 11 days over. I actually thought he would never come. I think about 3 days over is a nice compromise. Gives Mum some time to enjoy mat leave, but doesn't make her too stressed!

    Max was very alert when he came out and his eyes were open straight away. There is a lot to be said for that level of alertness too!

    Ha ha - sounds like your talking about a rugby move Dinah. It made me chuckle!!!

    Did everyone hear that Holly Willoughby is in labour. She isn't due til the 23rd of May or something so the baby will be tiny. Poor thing didn't even get to enjoy any mat leave!
