  • I'll join you til my little girl wakes up. After that we're off into town to pick up the last of the christmas presents which I only realised today needed buying *sob*. Thought we had everything sorted! Mean's I'll probably have to abandon my plans of hiring a Tens machine to use in my labour as the money I'd put aside for it is now going to have to go on christmas presents because of the !!!! up with my maternity pay!
    Got an extra mince pies handy? Could do with going through a whole box..

  • ouch! £97? That couldn't have been easy!
    My daughter is really good when it comes to sleeping actually so I'm really lucky. She'll wake up and just yabber on to herself until I got up and get her. As long as she wakes up herself (instead of being woken) she's always in a great mood after a sleep! She's at that stage where some days she'll have a nap and some days she won't though.. but recently she's been sleeping in til around 9 when she's normally up at 8.. and is normally in bed for 7pm so the dark mornings must be making her slepe longer! lol!

    May i pop in? Will share my low fat, yukky, M&S french fries with you all. Trust me to pick something yuk when I buy lunch out instead of bringing my own in.

    Am absolutely clock watching today. Have nothing at all to do. Have done 80% of my christmas shopping online today. Hurrah!
  • lol Thanks for that James.. Banana? Sounds vile! I've been drinking Raspberry Leaf tea which apparently 'tones the uterus in preparation for labour'. lol. Well we'll see. I drank it from 32 weeks with my first and she was still 10 days late...

  • Hi Folks,
    I'll have whatever's going. I am defrosting my fridge ready for my Christmas food shopping and my milk's gone off while it's been out of the fridge. I was really looking forward to a nice cup of tea when I came home too.
    I'm just doing a bit of wrapping while there are no prying eyes around. Well, actually, the dog is very intriged by what I'm doing but she has promised not to tell anyone. (My ally, that's about the only thing that dog is any good for!)
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
