    I shouldn't complain because we're so blessed to have this baby, I know that, but pregnancy doesn't seem to be suiting me at the moment to be honest! I think I'm just having a hormonal day and all the itching and swelling is making me feel even worse than I already do about the whole not providing her a healthy body to grow in thing.

    On the plus side the appointment with the accupuncturist lady went quite well, as soon as my doc signs off that I'm okay to try it we'll do a session. And my mummy has booked me in for a half hour massage during the week too.

    ah what a shame about the job but to be honest at least it didnt make the dilemma of choosing whether to take it or not too hard!!

    Hope you're ok, what a shame about the meal and how hard a time you're having of being pregnant :( It'll all be worth it im sure when the little one comes!

    Have we all had lovely weekends? Mine was nice but tiring/lazy and pretty expensive!!

    Crikey! Doesn't sound like a lovely evening at all. How are you feeling now? Hope your blood pressure is okay, have an awful feeling you ended up back in the hospital!

    What did you get up to for your weekend, Tink? Mine's been a weird hetic/lazy mix. Had my Dad over last night so made him watch some Game of Thrones as they gave me the boxset as an early birthday present. He got really into it, as in jumping up, punching the air in parts. I wonder where I get my enthusiasm from? :o

    Fully back on board with healthy eating/exercising. Finally. Started tanning again too, bikini shopping made me notice how deathly pale I am. I mean, I know I'm meant to be. I live in Yorkshire, and I'm a redhead. But I ordered some tan accelerator this morning, managed to get it for £3.45 using some vouchers instead of the £18 the salon wanted me to buy it at. Should cut the bed usage in half, so it's worth it. Plus it smells of cherries and almond. I just feel bad because I know tanning beds aren't that good for you, but it's just so nice and warm in there. It's like £3 therapy, annoyingly relaxing.

    Cinny noooo us red heads get fried on sunbeds! I know I will never tan so its just not worth it, do you actually go brown? Think about being wrinkled! I bawled my eyes out went I got a tiny bit burnt the other day, I try so hard to be safe dammit so I hate it when I miss a bit with suncream.
    No worry of that today, am totally drenched walking to my Spanish class in a tropical storm.

    You poor thing dinah, sending lots of positive vibes x.

    That's the thing. I burn in the sun-sun but on tanning beds I just tan. I do just do 4 minute blocks, and spread them out as far as I can. But I'm not worried about wrinkles. I use anti ageing products already, perhaps moisturise too much and all my foundations ect have SPF. Plus on the beds I use a facial sunscreen with SPF30. I follow all the guidelines too. I know it's totally vain, but I'm not doing it dangerously. When I was in there last time a woman went in and booked 30 minutes on the lay down with this lotion that I kid you not was called 'white2black' then I'm there with my 2 minute tokens and handful of SPF doo-dahs :o

    Shame about the rain! It's been gorgeous up here today, and I found a full on website for where we're going in May instead of the little profiles on all the other sites so I feel all summery!

    Ey up! :wave:

    Sorry Saturday night didn't go too well Dinah :( I'm sure that once your lovely little girl arrives all of this discomfort will be a distant memory, shame you're not having a better time of it though.

    I went on the sunbeds before going away last year but it didn't really do anything for me. Maybe because I was so nervy about it I only popped in for a 3 minute session twice a week but I noticed no difference in my colour, I think I'm just destined to be pale! :o

    Booked my laser eye surgery today! :j It's happening next Wednesday... so soon! :eek:

    Yep was back at work this week. 2 days in, 2 days to go. Hasn't been too bad although i have got a cold so feel a bit yuck. Poppy has been getting on ok at nursery. Has got a bit upset at times but has been eating and sleeping which is good. I am sure she will settle in soon.

    Where are you off to in May Cinny?

    Exciting about the eye surgery Birdie!

    That's so close with your eye thingy Birdie! I'd be so scared.

    Glad Poppy is settling in okay, Wendz. Must be weird for her with a new routine and strange smelling people!

    This beautiful place. I'm so excited! We're staying in the deluxe area.

    I hope you understand that you're meant to be keeping us Dinahupdate, NIM. And you're doing a shoddy job of it *shakes head and tuts*

    Was talking to OH this morning and we're back on the puppy train. After false starts with breeders and OH's family (we should have a little polish lowland right now :() We've decided to start looking after we get back off holiday for a malamute/huskamute. But to me that means 'start looking now and secretly saving'

    Ooooh bet you can't wait Cinny! Looks lovely! I don't think I'd want to stay in a deluxe room though... because they've got PS3s and I'd lose OH to his silly games ;)

    Glad work hasn't been too bad Wendz, hope the cold clears up quickly! :)

    What exciting things have you been up to Archers?! :D

    I've made a whole £10.50 so far selling Mother's Day cards, quite pleased with myself. A few people have asked when I'm going to start selling birthday cards too so that's good. Bit of an awkward conversation yesterday with someone who asked me what the money is for (thinking it was going to charity) I had to mumble 'Me...' :o
