    Got the right royal raving at the moment! Was kept waiting at the obstetrician for 3 hours - asked why I still needed to be seen by them when they do nothing different than the midwife only to be told, no reason but still book in for two weeks time!!!! What a total waste of an afternoon - didn't even get a scan :mad:

    Oh and it's not SPD, just a throw back from having extremely flexible joints prior to pregnancy. Very little faith in the ante-natal clinic atm and for the first time in about 8 months I'm craving a massive glass of Pinot!!!!!! :eek:

    (((hugs))) Lowesy

    Flutterby, glad your day improved even if the vertigo returned.

    Julie, you have my sympathy where cars are concerned.

    DC3 has gone to have a bath with DH. He is not well. We walked to the corner shop earlier, just to get him out of the house and it took about an hour there and back instead of 20 mins and silly mummy forgot to take the new pin number for her new card so we couldn't buy a treat <roll eyes> He hasn't eaten dinner and barely ate a banana (his favourite). He only ate a 1/3 of his scrambled eggs at lunch time. Poor love. I have never known any one so polite when they are ill either "issue, pease, Mummy" "ank you" " dink pease Daddy" " ank you".

    Hi chums just got home from a fantastic day out with DD in London.We had a lovely meal in Leicester Square and walked round to the Haymarket to see 'Phantom of the Opera' and what a great show it is .I have got 'The Music of the Night' going round in my head at the moment.Beautiful music ,wonderful singing and the special effects were terrific. All in all one of the best days out I have had for a long time ,plus got to spend it with my eldest daughter with no phones interupting us, as she does a very highly stressful job its done her the world of good as well. I would recommend the show to anyone who likes the musical theatre.Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
    Just going to make some coffee and put my feet up and watch Holby City(although I do miss seeing Joseph without his shirt on):)
    Phoned youngest DD to say how much I enjoyed it as her and her OH went to see it in February this year.
    Have a good evening chums

    They thought I might have but the pain is in the outside of my hips i.e the side I'm laying on at the time. Will ask the obs again today what he thinks but from what I gather there's not a great deal they can do about it. And in regards to my knickers - if I'd been able to get them on in the first place I'd not be in this situation anyhow :eek::rotfl:

    SOTD had acupuncture in the foof area and it seemd to work:D:D

    Candy you never cease to make me :rotfl:

    I have had a pretty productive day, had a good gut through of the kitchen, bought a lovely desk, fit for shabbying on Gumtree for £20, and will pick it up tomorrow or Thursday. I also bought DS1 a loft bed with a desk underneath for his room, we have been looking at them, but we're a bit skint to pay £200 + mattress for one. Got that for £50, picking it up Saturday, (still to buy a new mattress though) so it will be busy busy busy here for the next few days sorting out the playroom and giving it a lick of paint and papering one wall for him. I did promise them this as a Christmas gift, and had estimated it would be about Easter, so I am not doing too badly timewise; then DS2's room which they both share at the moment will need painting and papering. I will aim to do that the Royal Wedding weekend I think.

    Determined to finish the kitchen tonight, and have just volunteered to wash the windows, nutter that I am, so I had best get moving.

    Glad you had a lovely day Jackie, and that the Landy is gone Tigerfeet, hope your DS picks up soon, bless him.

    I'm sure you will if she asks, you're a good mum and won't be able to help yourself. xxx

    My SIL had it both times and ended up in a wheelchair the second, one of my BF's had it too and was in a terrible way, poor girl. Horrible thing to get :(

    I am another SPD sufferer. It got worse after each baby and I still suffer with problems now. It is part of why I do my 15 mins. So I very much sympathise with any one who suffers.

    Hello! My name is TF and I love Neil Diamond :D:o

    There I have actually said it out loud. I have just spent the evening watching the stuff I recorded the other night from BBC3 and it has left me with a really content, happy feeling. My guilty pleasure :)
