    Maybe its just me (not feeling great with my back), but a lot of the items on sale are well over my budget and I just can not afford them. I did find one of the talks useful about breast feeding and a couple of interesting stalls but that's it!

    My back's been giving me gip Mrs bunny so I'm going to see if the chiropractor can help, the MW said that it's fine to go so i just have to find the time and the ££ now!

    I love looking at all the things you can get for baby's but find it's very similar to when I was going round wedding stalls - they all charge that bit extra because the're selling to a massive want audience, a lot of who are in completion to have all the right things - if that makes sense.
    Although if I had an odd grand.........

    Been naughty and had a pint of diet coke to get me through the afternoon - bubs has been kicking away on a caffeine high!

    Hope you enjoy your night out Lush, and that it's not too late! I'd be beside myself if I asn't even sitting down to eat 'till 8.30! Would have to have a pre-dinner dinner! ;) Threw a party at home last week for OH's birthday and I was so exhausted by the time everyone arrived from all the setting up that I was yawning my head off by 9.30! I kept looking at my watch and hoping they'd all go home soon! :rotfl:

    I like you're thinking - will probably have a light snack in between getting ready, quick shower then need to curl my hair which will take about 45minutes (!) but then only 10 mins or so for make up... I think I will have about 90minutes to get ready so as long as I stay focused (not so easy for me!) I will be ok haha


    Oh now I want a potato scone and beans - we're going to this brazillian all you can eat - help yourself to salad etc then they serve gorgeous meats at your table from skewers - I love rare meat but going to have to behave and get it cooked through haha!

    Oooh that sounds lovely! There was a Brazilian themed restaurant at our resort on holiday and we loved the concept but the food was all a little overcooked which was disappointing so we want to go to a proper one and see how it's supposed to be done! :)

  • Hi everyone

    Sorry for those of you who are still feeling rubbish. I'm feeling alright now apart from the constant tiredness.

    When I was first pregnant it took forever to get to 12 weeks. Now things seem to have speeded up and I can't believe I'll be 18 wks on Monday!

    Looking forward to the 20wk scan cos I don't feel that much movement, just now and again so it will be good to see the little one again on scan...and also find out if we're team pink or blue.

    17+4

    Thanks everyone.

    I'm going out for an afternoon tea tomorrow I just hope I'm going to be ok, it's the first time I've eaten in a restaurant since my bfp.

    I really hope I'm not still puking at 23 weeks Jemb, though for a healthy baby ill do anything.

    When I was puking last night DH looked at me & said ' I promise ill carry the next one!' Think he feels a bit bad he can't help much.

    Well I'm off to bed now, feel sick lol! X

    Congrats on team blue rummer!

    That's lovely birdie.

    I think I've got a cold. Just the thought of that makes me want to cry.

    DH had one & slept in the spare room for 2 weeks roughly and he only got back in our bed last night after a few days of feeling ok. I don't think I know anyone else with one. How can I have caught it!

    I feel like I can't cope with this plus the sickness.

    Claire I feel your pain. I'm on week 4 of bugs and as I say, sick once a day still at almost 24 weeks. I'd quite happily be 40 weeks sick as long as madam gets here ok.
