    Oh really? Thank you! I've been looking for it quite intensively for a fortnight though. Maybe I should be less afraid of being accused of pregnancy brain and just mention it to you in future.

    It'd help, but you do so get upset when I tell you your having baby brain.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    And now, a money conundrum. How to pay money off a credit card when you have absoluely no idea what the card details are. And yes, I am embarrassed I have so many credit cards some are so forgotten about I don't know where the card is, nor have I ever made an overpayment on it. But I am also pleased at the same time I'm moving on to paying off a new card. I was planning to pay off the big OD first, however from Martin's email this week we should be able to get that OD 0% for a year and since credit cards require minimum payments and the ODs don't, they're now the focus.

    I have an address book where I put all my and OH's passwords/card details/bank acc numbers/etc.:o. It's a pink small one and really ugly so no one can guess what is in there. I thought everyone was doing this:o.

    I was happy as a 32D, as a 36EE I am significantly less so! Nothing seems supportive enough without getting some of that binding tape they use to wrap the woman up like a mummy to stop her being curvy in period dramas. I'm hoping buying £45 bras reduced rather than £25 at full price will give a better quality of fit.

    I'm 36C/D. How big will I get if I ever get pregnant:eek:???

    Bigger than you'll enjoy being is my experience! I think I was hoping for a neat little bump that just popped out of my tummy too, instead my entire rib cage appears to have gone out a few inches and made me feel like with my new solid build I should consider a career in American Football.

    I used to keep a spreadsheet with all our bank accounts and cards on, but this one is missing as it's the business card so I usually keep it separate. I do have the card number now, but that doesn't seem to be enough for the bank, which is annoying me. I may have to face my fear of the Indian call centre and actually pick up the phone.

    I did it I found the card on HSBC! Although can I just say it is in no way clear from a drop down menu that 'NW Bus CClassic V' is infact a Natwest credit card. I thought it was possible, and I realised the account digits it gave as the first 6 were the same.

    Have a lovely time in London Birdie. What are you doing down there?

    I'm staying with my friend who moved there recently; we're going to go to Portobello Market tomorrow and a bit of shopping around elsewhere too, we've got tickets to a comedy club for the evening then we're going to a museum (TBC) on Sunday. Can't wait! OH is not too happy that he's being abandoned all weekend, he'll be like an overexcited puppy on Sunday night when I get in! ;)

    Wowzers! I'm officially a 34C but it depends on the shape and fit, usually more like a B. I'm hoping that pregnancy will give me some oomph! :p
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    We were out for a curry with a Groupon this evening, all I can say is the reason the place is using Groupon to drum up trade isn't because no one knew about it's hidden culinary excellence.
