Congrats Charlie, Teenie and Salski :T


I've had a proper nasty headache all afternoon, ended up having to take two paracetamol and have a lie down on the couch - fell asleep and woke up feeling all foggy Has cleared slightly now but still just wanna crawl into bed. Hubs has gone into work early though so no-one to give Moo her tea/let the dog out/sort the drying out so I'm having to stick it out a few hours more. Urgh, that sounds so moany - I know there's ladies here who are a lot more poorly than me, I'm just a wimp


Hope everyone's feeling better soon. xxx

Aww hugs. Im sure Moo (thats so cute by the way) would be happy with a quick poached egg on toast for tea. thats always my quick back up then a yoghurt and some fruit. Im sure the dog will also be happy with a quick round the garden, and the washing can wait til tomorrow.

Then get on the couch and put a xmas film on and curl up with DD until her bedtime.


God didnt mean to sound so bossy. know how it is when you feel pants and have others you are responsable for.

Does it not finish in April - as in you have to be 25 weeks by April 1st....therefore you should qualify? x

OK I think I have worked it out

I'm 22 weeks on tomorrow which is the 16th
So I will be 23 weeks on 23rd
And 24 weeks on 30th

So I miss it by a whole 6 days as you have to be 25 weeks by 01/01

Typical!

Aww, thanks Nic :A Her 'real name' is Amber and she's had every nickname going - Bambi, Bamble, Ambey etc etc, but Moo seems to have stuck She's having a junk tea tonight - pizza fingers and chips - which happens to be one of her favourites just not one of mine, but hey it's easy and quick! The dog's had a quick brush over and a play in the yard, he's such an easy going boy, he doesn't mind missing walkies which is just as well really, it's been about two weeks since he last went out :eek:

Boss away - it's nice to know someone cares

I miss it by mere days!!! My due date is 16th April going by the scan, which makes me one day out, but 18th going off last period, so that's my due date, which is 3 days out. I turn 25 weeks on the 1st January, which means I'm 1 day too late - confused yet? I am!! Some midwives are signing the form anyway, so I've read somewhere - ours won't so it depends how lucky you are if yours will - worth asking though - I feigned ignorance and said "I've been told to ask about some pregnancy grant" - rather than asking straight out. I've already told hubs off - well he could have done his part a few days earlier :rotfl:
