Glass removed from the pavement and some from the road. I appreciate people have different standards and I know it wasn't their fault the glass smashed but to move the fridge freezer and leave the broken glass on a well used pavement (someone even stepped over whilst I was out there :eek:) is pure laziness :mad: someone could have hurt themselves. Rant over

and that's a very 'generous' description of them if you get my drift. Personally I think it's pathetic and disgusting of them to have left the glass there. Mind you - some skank changed a nappy in the Asda/Iceland/Halfords car park - and left the used one lying there. Utterly gross. There are some scum about.
I picked up an alcopop left lying near a childrens playground last week, where I park for work. Unopened - what bothered me was that someone could have picked it up, opened it and given it so someone else (a younger child, perhaps) it came home with me; contents down the drain and bottle rinsed and recycled.

opto.. looks perfectly normal to me.. I get immense with mine and was in maternity stuff by 5-8 weeks with every single one of mine! Everyone, (including the mw this time round) said to prepare for twins or more! Bloating is worse on an evening and usually goes at about 12 weeks or thereabouts.. mine didn't go, I just didn't get bigger for a week.. I look like a hippo at the moment.. feel free to call me Gloria!

When I was PG with DS he very kindly kept it discreet until I was 'hitched';)
Within days of the ceremony I was BLOATED lol
At my first scan they decided either my dates were wrong or I was carrying 2.

No just 1 huge one LOL

But yeah - all I wanted was a healthy one - so much so I didn't even bother with a birth plan - my entire plan was to walk out of the horse piddle carrying a healthy babe.

(Is pleased has been able to use Lamewolf's lovely phrase! Woot!)

lol valli ... my son wasn't huge ... 7lb 4oz and the rest was water was amazing to see how small i was after my waters broke... the main reason i asked was because i just feel 'fat' not pregnant but DP can't take his eyes off my tummy ... he wasn't even looking at my face the other day when he was talking to me he was talking to my b00bs and tummy lmao

funfairprincess

OP that's a tiny bump I went from a size 8 to a size 20 when pg with ds1! I also went from said 20 to a size 10 in 10 days so I wouldn't worry about it!

Piggers are you pg? You never said! Does I need 2 car seats for return journey home ?

Flying- nails filed, eyebrows plucked, dry bits moisturised and DDs shoes polished !

Well, I clearly need to read more on the list and get a bit more crossed off

But on the upside, DS and DD4 naps overlapped for 20 minutes today :j:j:j:j, so I went into RoD (aka study, soon to be mutant hybrid study guest bedroom) scrapper in hand. I had to call on DD3 to occupy the younger Skints as they woke from their respective naps, but co-operation meant that I have FINALLY finished stripping wallpaper in the study (except behind radiator and alarm sensors) all tatty bits of paper all binned, and floor all nice hoovered. Just need to wash the walls down to get rid of nasty sticky glue residues and then find/buy some polyfilla for the walls that have been peppered with holes by previous owners :rotfl: Then it is play "hunt the pliers" to get rid of a million and one panel pins in the skirting board, so I can think about getting the gloss work done in there too.

I still need to finish the gloss work in dining room, but I never do my best work in artificial light and it is the final coat to do......I may have to get up at 5am and make a start, as carpet due to come Thursday next week. No point melting the plastic and then not have it delivered & fitted to make it worth the interest that I shall be walloped with.

Oh joy, right time to get some shut eye before I have to get back in Daisy mode

Night, night....don't let the bed bugs bite
