    Bonnie a condom with a use-by date of 2007? Valli sold a bunch of ood condoms on Fleabay a while back, if memory serves.:D

    This is quite true :cool: sold them as OOD to be used as party decs for stag/hen do - got some more from another source and sold to same buyer too:rotfl:

    Just packed lots of e bay sales - 3 book matches have gone, the picture has gone - the geeky gifts have gone - I *might* be able to relocate the listed stuff out of the dining room shortly!

    Well I still have 2 clowns not paid from Saturday.. they have received snotty emails... and I have another who wanted postage to Germany and I will not send stuff anywhere that is not signed for so postage is just about £10... so they are unlikely to pay!

    I sold a bundle of condoms too... FLING! It has to be done!

    yep adamantine, 31 weeks tomorrow:), haven't seen the grumpy midwife for about a million years as getting an appt is a joke, have got one on friday which i've had to wait 3 weeks for, so will have a whinge to her :). Have taken myself off to bed but just can't get comfy :(

    Take it easy it all comes around again your health is the most important matter, I had my son at 31 weeks pregnant you don't want to go though that worry, and that was because I was moving house and was sorting everything out myself 3 days after moving in he came. Try and break up any cleaning you do decide to do from hhc in morning afternoon and evening where you have chance to put your feed up inbetween for a good couple of hours at least. You'll be able to keep up the momentium better and hopefully won't feel so sore, take it easy for next couple of days until you feel better. Tens machine worked brilliant for me when I was pregnant with my daughter before during and after pregnancy, highly recommend. Hope you feel better soon x
