    They don't whistle at me :cry: But then all the builders around here know my Dad so see me as daughterly or sisterly depending on age so it would be pretty disturbing if they did :rotfl: And then like Flower said, I wouldn't really fancy it anyways!

    I don't think I could ever do what your friend does Birdie, even if I liked being hit on! My flirting skills kind of died when I bagged OH :o

    Went to move some money across for the food shop today and I've been paid early. Pretty neat timing :D So I don't need to faff around with moving money back and forth to cover things tomorrow.

    I did manage food last night, yesss! The tortillas were pretty yum too, but a faff so I don't know how often I'd willingly make them :o Froze half the dough though, so the option is there. Still have 2 decent sized portions of chilli in the pot so we're having that tonight on spuds. Yum!

    Feeling better today than I have for the past week, might be all the extra veggies I crammed into the chilli. Who knows! OH was feeling a bit off it last night too, must be a weird sneaky bug. I know my cousin's girlfriend has been sick the past week in the same kind of way. *See* I'm not baking a baby! :D

    Speaking of baby baking, hope you're doing okay Flower! And have you seen *this* video? It's from a girl I subbed to for product reviews btw, I don't just go around finding Budget Baby videos!

    We get the telly delivered tomorrow :j:j Although we're starting to worry about the size of it now. My Grandparents have a big telly in their living room. I *thought* it was like, 60" or something. But I asked them last night and it's 46" :eek: *gulp* I just want to say this here now, so I've got it written down. I wanted a 40" telly, it was OH who went all mental!

    No havent seen that video, will have a look at it later thank you :D OH is giving me the evil eye everytime I turn the sound up on the laptop at the minute so I'll save it for when hes at work!

    Touch wood, sickness seems to be easing off a bit at the minute so I can function a bit more normally than I have been!

    Keep telling myself not to look at any baby things intil we have had first scan, but I just cant help myself!!

    What size TV did you go for in the end Cinny? Ours is 40" and is fairly big hehe.

    Glad you are feeling a bit better now.

    Flower - i hated that waiting bit before 12 week scan, i did lots of window shopping too!

    I've done my 101 Things List! Here

    I've never had any flirting skills Cinny! I can't even pout suggestively! I always wanted to be able to do that!

    Our telly is 37" and I thought that was big enough! How big did your OH go for Cinny?!

    Birdie - The telly we've got now is 37", it's a bloody good size! OH went for the 50" :eek: It's going to look ridic! Thankfully we're too classy a couple for it to look trashy. Or that's what I've been telling myself.

    I can't sleep tonight, so I'm camping out on the sofa. OH has a long day tomorrow and is working quite a slog away so I don't want to wake him. So it's blankets, SATC and a sofa night for moi!

    Got the delivery slot tomorrow, between 11-2 so I'm off to the cinema with my Mum and Zus in the afternoon as long as they aren't fibbing with times! Going to see, Rango? That weird looking one with Johnny Depp! My Mum said she'll pay for me too, which is her being as lovely as always. Quite excited on both counts really, might be why I can't drift off :D

    The telly is pretty fantastic :D Bit worried it wouldn't work on our stand, mainly because it's not meant for TVs bigger than 38" or something. But it's doing okay. We're wanting a new one just to be on the safe side, and were looking at ikea ones to match the dark oak in our living room. Can wait a couple months though. I did snap a picture of it. Click!

    Not much planned for today, OH is at races for work and I've got a bunch of things I'm wanting to cook/bake for his birthday tea tonight so will get a crack on with them.

    Having steak with sweetcorn and wedges for his birthday tea though, think I'm looking forward to it more than OH is. But he did pick it, I'm not being greedy :D

    Also going to give the old telly a good clean so it's look brand new when OH takes it to his Brother tomorrow, and have the task of getting the big bummed box into the blue bin :eek:

    Glad you are pleased with the telly. Ours is on a smaller stand too and is fine. Will be a bit worried when baby is big enough to try and tip it over though!

    Hope you are having a nice weekend.

    How was Rango Cinny?

    The TV looks great... big, but great! :) I'm not showing OH as he really wants a new massive 3D TV but it's way down the list right now. Seems a bit pointless for us IMO as we can't afford Sky 3D! We can't even afford normal Sky!

    Was the birthday tea nice? Sounded scrummy! I love steak, OH and I have got it down to a fine art now, we're due a steak night soon actually, I must tell him! :)
