    Dizzi, I'm so glad that doggie has been found OK...love the drama queen image! :D My westie was attacked by 3 other dogs just before Xmas, I don't know how I would have coped if the worst had of happened. Luckily he was fine and within half hour was bounding all over the police and ambulance man (there to attend to me!) demanding to be cuddled!

    Big hugs Amy - never mind a couple of biccies, you deserve a whole packet of chocolate hob nobs! :)

    An excellent result! I particularly enjoyed watching the candidate from the Monster Raving Loony Party wander around the steets in oversized clown shoes, green wig and those glasses which have eyeballs coming out of them on springs! Sadly, he didn't get voted in either! :D

    Gotta love the 'fringe' parties hehe have you seen any of the monster raving loony party policies? Most are nonsense but some of em made me laugh -

    Put all people convicted of anti-social behaviour into stocks, this will increase the demand for stocks which should help to increase the stock market

    Superglue unruly teenagers together. As the saying goes if you can't beat them you might as well join them.

    I have wayyy too much time on my hands :rotfl:

    This talk of car seats is panicing me more a lot more than the one about blood :D We have got a car seat as it came as part of our Quinny Buzz travel system but we haven't worked out how its going to fit into my car yet. Its a 2001 car so I don't think it will have ISOFIX as standard; we are probably looking at a seatbelt jobby. I want to know excatly how to secure it before munchkin arrives - and Dizzi's early arrival has spurred me on to get everything organised asap!
    You tube it! I did with ours. I'm so dumb I needed a lady to show me :rotfl:Same here on the car age. No iso - we are going for seat belt jobby.

    Jovi, my neighbours are noisy so and so's too. Maybe not as bad as yours but there's a family of four and the youngest son, who's about 23/24 is loud even when he talks. He's in a band *rolls eyes* and plays bass, badly! They also have a bird I want to kill. I'm sure they don't cover it over in the evenings as it never shuts up! They also like to vacuum at all hours and the whole family have a particular liking for Sing Star Superstar!

    As you said though, revenge will be sweet :D

    Hi, I went thru 3packs just in hospital two nights.
    I was then using nearly a pack a day.
    Think I need to buy 10 packs then?!:rotfl:

    Apparently - biggest full moon of the year on Sunday..
    Several of my friends have told me "ohh my money's on Sunday!!"
    I wouldn't mind that but for some reason there is a bit of truth in that statement and maternity wards tend to be busier! ( which I don't want as I was hoping for a water birth and there are only 2 pools)
    Now my dilemma for this morning is - do I jump in the bath and eat later or eat now and jump in the bath after?
    I'm trying to be cheery what with going overdue! I was moaning yesterday ( a bit!) on fb and one of my friends said something like "sending hugs, I know it's hard but she will be out soon" said friend is 41+6 ATM. If she can keep it together, I can!!

    My sister in law is making us washable wipes. We are hoping to go with washable nappies too but missed the reusable nappy week. When I say we missed it we were too nervous to buy.
    I'm currently in the process of buying 1 of each type from ebay til I have say 8. Then once i've tried them when she is here I will decide which I like best and get more.

    She is using muslin for some and fleece so will have different patterns and materials for different uses. Just sewing them together with a nice border, the ones which have already been made look lovely.
    Was thinking about making some of my own too but didn't know what fabric to use. Can you take a sneeky picture to show us size etc?Will be much nicer for a new born bottom than cold wipes that make the poor love scream.

    So glad the dog is home Dizzi I had a cute image of her playing dead with big eyes from your first point so I was giggling at your description. Is she cut from walking of rough things outside? Hope she heals soon, glad she is back safe and sound :) hope your appointment to register Erin goes well.
    Hugs to all those who had a rubbish night. Seems to be the night for rubbish sleep. I'm another on the list. Had a lot of pain last night as a busy day, but I was woken up by a horrible dream. Then of course I needed a wee, but could barely move. Then after getting back to,back the cat pounces on me wanting a fuss. Well the bad dream was so so daft but still I was awake so put tv on, this is now gone 5am and I've been awake since before 4. Of course OH is awake and not happy. Luckily I feel back to,sleep, OH left me a honey sandwich (I'd asked for toast, but knew I'd be asleep by the time I'd made it). Still very stiff, achy and sore so am having an easy day today.
    Good luck for your test results Ikkle and for your scan Michka
    Amymo sorry your midwife changed the appt, I'm very inpatient and already counting down. I'm sure you look great in your dress. I know how it feels o no have much to chat about, but I'm sure seeing real life people might cheer you up. :)
    Elelyn hugs for today, thinking of you and OH
    OH is loving touching the bump now. Even before I get a hello kiss hands are on the bump. I'm like I am still here. Put it to good use and he rubs the cream in now. Not that I'd want strangers rubbing anything anywhere!
    Triangle how dare you mention chocolate hobnobs ;) now I'm salivating over the keyboard! And I've none in the house :(
    I was thinking about flapjacks in the night so if my legs feel strong later I may have to make some.
    Rebekah is your scan on Monday or Tuesday?
    Well I should probably get out of bed now before it's officially afternoon.
    Sending big labour vibes to the boldies xx
