The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

So good to hear you are keeping out of hospital Dinah! Hope the midwife stops scaring you, sounds like the consultant is a lot more helpful! That cake looked yum as well.

We are thinking of an m and s cake for our wedding as don't want to pay out loads. Although my friend up here has a lady who made hers for about £90 and she gave me a bit of her sons christening cake made by same lady and was yum so definately a possibility!

Have finished my first week of work yay. Wasn't too bad and Poppy did alright in nursery although yesterday had a temperature so OH picked her up. Seems ok now though.

I'm impressed with myself, today is the first day I've tried to make a list and I haven't had an overflow list ready for tomorrow - in fact I'm struggled to fill it.


1. Call osteopath to make accupuncture appointment
2. Go to pilates
3. Take bump pic
4. Wrap 2 Amazon parcels for sending
5. Fill in all medicash forms
6. Find Barclaycard
7. Batch cook butternut squash pasta
8. Call Blizzard
9. Book groupon meals
10. Pack hospital bag again for just in case

I'm feeling very dizzy again today, but bp is at a good level so I don't really know why.

Friend who is off chocolate for lent was round last night, and has taken a piece of cake to freeze as she wanted some so badly! I think she was quite keen to leave early though, as NIM was being playful and winding me up, and I felt ill and therefore snapped at him a lot, so it wasn't the most pleasant environment for someone to come into.

Glad the first week back was OK Wendz, must be nice to have the extra day off!

Are you taking regular bump pics Dinah? I saw an amazing montage thingy on Pinterest of a lady who had taken a photo every week next to a blackboard where she'd written little notes about how big the baby was/what she was craving/scan pictures stuck on etc. It was wonderful, I'd love to do something like that

Dinah93

I've taken them roughly every 2 weeks, it was a bit boring in the early weeks to be honest as nothing really changed! If you excuse the undies the pics are in my photobucket album. There is a lady on babyandbump who takes a picture every week with the fruit/veg that's supposed to be the same size as the baby every week, but I'm far too sporadic to remember to buy the fruit let alone take the pic.

Pleased to find The Book People had a box set of Quentin Blake books up for £10, I always get my dad one for Christmas, but usually buy them individually at about £5 each, so now I'm stocked up for years to come.

SO exciting about puppy fund I love malamute pups - they're just big fluffy triangles with blue eyes. sweeeeeet!

I know! I was playing with OH's Mums big newfie boy last week, I know the breed is totally different but I just left thinking 'I want a big fluff monster!'

Dinah, you look way too small (frame wise! ) to be getting a big baby bump!

Secrets be told, we're off to look at a litter of pups tonight We've got my Brother in on the secret who's only really made us comfortable with getting a dog before we go away by offering to look after him when we go on holiday. Still fully intending on calling him Ryder. Because he'll be badass. Like his owner, obviously :rotfl: OH is all excited, but this morning called me our on only wanting a malamute because of Game of Thrones. Disregarding the fact we settled on that being out ideal breed last Spring *roll eyes*

I think she's just stretching out inside rather than pushing outwards. I'm getting quite short of breath.

Good luck with the puppies.

Cinny91

It still kind of freaks me out babies can move about in there. I always thought they just stayed in that little curled up position until someone mentioned their baby going behind their ribs and it made me feel a little sick

And thanks! I went and bought some puppy food and bowls just in case we get him today. He'll be little giant of a thing though. Most likely bigger than 3 of my parents dogs already!

Birdie85

Awww hope you come home with a lovely fluffy puppy tonight Cinny!

Good deal on the books Dinah! Martin would be proud

You're still diddy Dinah, when's the bump going to pop out?!

Oh and while I remember about Pinterest, I don't like that people can choose to follow you on there, makes me feel all on show. I don't mind girlies from here following but I pinned a couple of pictures a couple of weeks ago of cool housey things which just happened to be kind of nursery related and I got a text off my friend asking if I was pregnant?! Jeez, I didn't want to ask her if she was hiding a secret fiance since she has a board called 'Dream Wedding' even though she's single!

Dinah93

I know what you mean on pinterest, I don't let mine post on facebook as it just seems too personal.

All ready for pilates, I'm so nervous - I'm terrible at talking to strangers so things like this scare me a bit. I hope I'll be better when I've got the baby, even if I just use her as some sort of shield!

Birdie85

I'm not good with strangers either, good thing about Pilates is that there's not a lot of interaction, you smile and say hello when you arrive then you don't have to say anything during the class! Hope you enjoy the class and it makes you lovely and relaxed
