I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is very hard when someone dies suddenly and you have not said goodbye.
But having lost one grandparent to a heart attack and another to cancer , I would rather not say goodbye than see them suffer.

Thankyou he had terminal cancer so it wasn't unexpected it's just very sad he was only 60

We lost our niece in a Tesco Superstore when she was about that age. The store and carpark where locked down, and the builders that in the store walked along the long metal rafters looking for her . My sister was in tears. We where just about to ring the police when someone found asleep in a large drum of teddy bears.

that must have been terrifying! but bless her falling asleep with the bears!

this little girl had wondered off when her mum was paying at the tills and clearly was so captivated by the lovely pink decorations she just wondered back there, can just imagine the sheer panic her poor mum felt, she was white as a sheet!

so sorry for your loss kayandy, *hugs*

anyone ever bought from the seller 'WeRChristmas' on Amazon? they have some beautiful decorations, but the reviews vary Ive got my eye on the sitting down Santa with the reindeer in silver and white, the gold one has a great review

:rotfl: I can at the moment get away with saying "mine is all baby"

I am however dreading when it's not

Nine months on, nine months off

When I was about seven months pregnant the nurse at my GYN's practice commented that I had put on more weight than they were expecting. I replied that I thought it was all baby but she put on a serious face and said, No, a lot of it is your bottom too. I cried but she was right and I am still comfortably rounded three years later.

On a separate note I am feeling a bit foggy headed today but need to get my Tesco order done - Im buying a few bits for my Christmas store cupboard using vouchers and I have some stuff in my basket such as
Turkey
Yule log
frozen roast pots
frozen swede & carrots
frozen yorky puds
2 x selection boxes
2 x advent calendars
festive friends
candy canes
sausage and bacon wraps

(we are going with frozen ready prepared christmas food to make it easier for us with a few week old baby)

can anyone tell me if there is anything else i need to get lol. My brain is not functioning at all.
I am getting it in advance using some vouchers I have so I don't have to even think about most of it when im sleep deprived or rely on hubby lol.

perhaps there is a bargain or 2 i should pick up whilst im doing it?

any help gratefully received!!!

Gravy or Gravy Granuals
Cranberry Sauce
Also get some disposable trays to cook the turkey in - no washing big pans!!!

:eek: I cannot believe that - some people have no subtlety do they?!

I was already overweight when I got pregnant and so have experienced all sorts of biased about my weight throughout. I have put on approx 1st in total now with 4 weeks and 5 days to go i really am hoping that is all baby - but I have a lot of work to do anyway regardless when he is born.
My hubby's brother and dad have both just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (just found out this afternoon) hubby is having an unrelated dr appointment on wednesday and will be asking to be tested too (him and his brother are very similar in size and only 2 years age gap) as they have all 3 had the same operation this year already for something else completely unrelated i feel like he is bound to get diabetes too, so i have told him that the healthy lifestyle starts tomorrow, not just for his sake and possibly having diabetes or an increased risk but for our little boys sake too. We don't want to lead him into our unhealthy lifestyle. We said if we work on it now, by the time the baby is 1 we could be a few stone lighter, healthier, fitter and he wont have fat parents! So im on a mission. (obviously I wont diet until the baby is born!)

Im wondering if to make the BIL a diabetes hamper with some books or something? I've yet to get his birthday present (22nd Dec) any suggestions?
