Bamama

Well I needn't have asked. Sorry if it's TMI but I was dozing in bed after my alarm and realised I was rather desperate to go. Cauliflower and broccoli cheese to the rescue I think lol.

Glad you're all sorted now Bamama Since early pregnancy I've tried to eat at least one thing each day that I know is good for keeping things regular, as I suffered quite badly in the first few weeks with everything slowing down. For me that's a glass of fruit juice and a handful of dried apricots every morning, and 2 bits of fruit with my lunch, preferably grapes or satsumas!

Feeling quite grotty this morning after my jabs yesterday, definitely feeling the effects in both my arms Still, I'd rather feel a bit grim for a few days than have flu or whooping cough, so am dosed up on paracetamol and made it to work. Back still twinging at me, but I'm trying not to take the codeine unless it gets really bad, as that was what my consultant advised last year when it first flared up.

3 days left to work, I'm alternating between :j and :eek:! So much left to do in the next 3 days, but then I can just hand over and not think about anything til next August

Being on here makes me greatful that I'm not actually suffering! My only real problem is a lack of concentration and motivation.

Wish I only had 3 days left ^^ part-time in November though so that shouldn't be so bad... 10-2 instead of 8.30-4.30 get to see them slowly get stressed out here as they begin to realise they can't cope without me XD

morning ladies.. xxx

good luck today twinkle! xx

lucky you littlemoog, wish i had 3 days.. sigh.. i agree bamama, like you i just am not motivated anymore. got into work late as the underground p1ssed me off again and i nearly fainted as it was so hot. this sweet woman used her paper to fan me. she said i was very red and i dont even turn red as i have such tanned skin. i really felt yuck. now i am drained at work! my ML is far far away yet.. *sulking*

This is embarassing but nowadays when i need the loo for a num 2, and i strain a bit (only recently) my whole belly hurts. and also the side. even today while i am gassy lol. sorry tmi.. to get gas out discretly just hurts me now..:( normal?

*cwtch* dw Rups it'll be here before we know it!

I really do love one of the reps that comes to work. He brings me my own shortbread biscuits - 32% butter and over 200 calories a biscuit!

That was me yesterday Rups, veg does seem to help. All the books say to make sure you're getting plenty of fluids too. I realised I didn't pee all that much yesterday... probs was a lil dehydrated.

thanks sweeties. i drink as much as i can (water that is) and i thought i was eating ok but recently (these few days) when i go to the loo (thankfully i still do every morning), its a bit of a strain. need to up fruit and veg def.

Of course I have four evening meetings and SHEDLOADS of work to do before I go. Bah...
