    Congratulations Welshlassie and CatwOman :j:A

    Cutterby that seems to happen all the time. I don't bid now til the last 20 secs. That way it doesn't give them time to bid it up. I sometimes forget I'm watching things and miss out but the ones I win are cheap.

    Would it help if you told her how much more helpful a much younger child is? If so, below is what my 3 1/2 year old does but I've whited it out so that you don't have to read it if you would find it unhelpful to know:
    • volunteers to carry my breakfast (made by my husband) up to me in bed in the mornings
    • frequently offers to bring me food and drink and willingly brings anything I ask for
    • gets a simple tea for herself e.g. bread, cheese, banana and a drink (OH working lates so we have our main meal made by him in the middle of the day)
    • aside from needing help with buttons on the back of dresses and me having to close her blind, gets herself entirely ready for bed by herself
    • plays quietly on the bed or "reads" me bedtime stories if I am resting in bed
    • accepts the fact I don't have the energy to read her stories or take her out and about without any fuss

    Thanks Susan,

    I will certainly keep it in mind, she hasn't been too bad since Monday and she has been a gem this evening whilst we have been on our own telling me that she can't wait to be the big sister etc and getting herself ready for bed, I've just had to be in the same room as her so she can chat to me.

  • Ordered the car seat from Boots - it was on offer from £125 down to £93.75, the 20% code that Dusty posted worked (thank you hun) and so that took it down to £75. Got 1302 Advantage card points and also got cashback through Quidco :D

    good night all hoping I feel better tomorrow as is mil birthday so will have to make an appearance but feel terrible!!!

    Saturday is my bday and oh's family are taking us all out for a big Christmas/birthday meal so im begging that I feel a tad bit better at least otherwise thats going to drain me completely.

    well enough feeling sorry for myself

    night ladies, bumps, babys and thinking labour thoughts to any in need! xxxx
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

    Anyone recommend somewhere for good inexpensive maternity jeans that don't stop at size 12? I couldn't find any anywhere today and even if we did have the money I refuse to pay £45 for ONE pair of jeans!

    New look. Got mine for £16. Really comfy too.

    Congratulations Welshlassie and Catw0man.

    Look forward to your birth stories. I'm sorry Catw0man that it sounds like yours did not go to plan.

    Enjoy your mummy cuddles :)

  • Hope all you poorly ladies feel better soon :heart2:, nothing worse when you already feel carp. :( Think I'd just sit and cry if I ended up with a cold now, my back is killing me and have a constant "been kicked up the bum" feeling, which gets worse with every braxton hick....tis not pleasant, oh and I am constantly exhaiusted, certainly been harder this time round.

    Right off to bed, to huff and puff and build myself a nest of pillows! :D

    Hi ladies, sneaking on from the less than 12 weeks thread, have been reading back a little and was just wondering a few people have put they would prefer a c section rather than forceps in their birth plans - is there a reason for this? I know it's early to be thinking about it but I would probably forget by the time that I need to know so thought I would ask now!
