Haha! That was me and snozberry a few pages back! Vimto lollies are good too - as is the cordial!

And fruit pastille lollies... yum! Or just ice really!! DH found me picking all the tiny leftover bits of ice from the ice cube tray the other day and crunching on them.... I think he's worried I might start licking the freezer soon....

OMG!!! You are kidding?! My nearest branches had better not stop stocking them otherwise I really will cry. I can't stand buying clothes online because, despite being slim, I'm a funny size.

I bet that you asked the wrong person.

Seriously - I went around the whole blinking store last week on all three levels which I thought I had a hope with! It was a last resort asking someone - but she confirmed that they didn't sell anything - not even maternity jeans! I was sure that I had seen maternity stuff before but nope - not a sniff of an elasticated waistband! Maybe there aren't enough preggy ladies in my area for them to bother with us!:(:(

When my [STRIKE]morning[/STRIKE] all day sickness was at its worst fab lollies and twisters really helped. Those and ready salted crisps and crackers.

Am I the only one that doesn't like fabs/twisters? Icecream with icelolly is just so wrong to me.

Gizmodo - are you a teacher too?

No, I'm learning support, but part time thank goodness. I don't know how a teacher would cope with being pregnant, that must be hard work.

Oh my, that is awful! I hope that it is just your branch and not all of them. I have been avoiding the shops over the holidays because crowds annoy me at the best of times.

Oh no!! Best enjoy my last few days of freedom!! Not relishing the thought of the stress of 6 classes with exams in the first 2 weeks back whilst I'm this tired!!

I've found lots of shops don't stock maternity stuff in store now. I have taken to bulk ordering online and then trying on at home and returning stuff that doesn't fit. Can be a bit dangerous thought as I just did a big Next online order and it arrived today... and I now want to keep everything having said I'd only keep half of it!

Its the keeping it all secret thats the killer - no one at work still knows! I just munched my way through nausea - almonds, crackers and tictacs kept me from chucking up, scarves and tunic tops hid the growing bump!

If your tiredness is a problem - make sure you tell someone as then they have to do something to help you by putting support in place/giving you time off. I was lucky in the fact that I wasn't really overly tired - just felt sick most of the time so just had to deal with that.
