I don't know, I'm feeling a bit 'meh' today. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the fact that nothing in the garden seems to be growing, maybe it's because I'm fat, maybe it's because DH is still unemployed and drinking like a fish, maybe it's because some b*****d I work with is full of carp, maybe it's because I can't help having panic days about money and have a sense of impending doom. I feel very low and restless and generally dissatisfied with life.

I don't really know what to do with myself. And OH is being a complete t****r tonight. :mad:

Still thrilled with your good news though, Jwil, it's really cheered me up. :j

I hope today is a better day for you P&F ((hugs))

Oh wow !! Bit behind with the news but congrats jwil, I am soo pleased for you !!I know I'm not here often but if I could also please become an honourary virtual Auntie I would be thrilled !!:D

Its so lovely to hear some great news. Cant believe the wonderful advice you have been inundated with already. Whether planned or not, these things have a way of just falling into place.

Now for whats it worth, sucky sweets, cherry drops were my fave and really helped, and a lolly pop in my bag at all times !! All I could eat for weeks dinner wise was a small bowl of plain mashed potato. Sounds odd but I ate it for those first few weeks with both my girls !!

I am so pleased. I came on here to ask you something about ebay and I found out some lovely news instead ! I cant be bothered to ask you about ebay now !!!

((Hugs)) P&F - you know where i am if you need me x Some things i can say are that you are not fat - you have given yourself a target of losing weight and are doing brilliantly with that - especially considering everything else you have to cope with. The weather has been odd and the garden will up and surprise you and flourish all at once.

The person you work with is this just on 1 piece of work will working with them come to an end soon ?

The money worries will come but just keep looking at how far you have come with reducing your debt - yes i still panic about my debt and i know there is no way to stop it but just to try and accept it is going the right way and remembering how much you have paid off so far.

Hope your Mr finds work soon hon - i know how hard it is and :mad: to him upsetting you with his behaviour - had something similar with my Mr the other night and it is really upsetting.

Huge hugs to you hon and i mean it PM if you need to - even if its just to vent xx

Hope you are feeling a bit better today peaceandfreedom. Maybe there's something in the air as my DH was being a PITA last night too. Shout if you need to vent and hope things are a little better today.

Hey everyone

Been to the docs this morning, and not much to add. Got my appointment to see the midwife. He gave me much the same advice as you lovely ladies have already done so I could say I was aware of that The only new thing, is I've been told to take vitamin D as well as folic acid, not sure what that's about, but I shall do so.

I'm feeling more human which is good, and almost eating properly again. I'm doing my best to eat healthily and well. One of my big concerns is that I am seriously overweight. I had always planned on losing weight before trying to get pg, but nature has decided otherwise, so I've got to be as healthy as I can. I'm certainly not going to diet, but am going to try and make healthy choices and follow any advice the midwife gives me. My doc just told me it's important not to put on any more weight, but that shouldn't be a problem, as my weight is stable, it's just waaayyyy too high.

I'm also worried about the finances, so I need to get back organised and get debtbusting. We don't have any family round here and none of our friends have children, so we don't have any real support system. I am the bigger earner, but we are going to both have to work to manage. If I can clear some debt then things will be more manageable, but the whole childcare thing worries me a lot. It's little things too about taking time off if the child is ill as we've got no one we can call on to babysit or anything. DH can't just take a day off or his wages are cut, so it would have to be me. DH's hours aren't fixed either, he leaves home before 6.30am and then I never know when he's going to finish so that doesn't make things easier.

Lots to think about there.

Anyway, back to MSE stuff. My loan, cc and OU payments have all come out so that's all good.

I've sold a few more items on ebay as well and need to get some more listed.
