    I loved seeing your pics yesterday Dinah. Grace looks such a happy child, she is lovely.

    Such a shame about the craft fair Birdie. Sounds like internet sales etc are more the way to go. Hope you are feeling better.

    Got some good news here for you. Some of you may have seen on other threads but I am pregnant again - about 15 weeks. Still nervous because of what happened last time although I have been told there was no real reason for it.

    Oh Wendz I didn't know, what fabulous news I am so happy for you.

    Beautiful photo Dinah. I enjoy looking at all your photos on Facebook 😊

    Congratulations Wendz!I did read a few weeks ago but didn't want to say anything until you were comfortable. Are you getting extra scans this time for reassurance? Are you planning to find out what you're having?

    As long as you're not thinking 'Ah, screw it!' and adding to the debt, then its OK to have some down time IMO.

    My thoughts exactly at the minute! We are keep up with all our minimum payments over Christmas, and then the new year will bring a new push in getting it under control again. After the year we have had I just dont want to be stressing about it all over Christmas, so as long as minimum payments are being made I am happy!

    Is anyone doing anything nice this weekend?

    No extra scans or anything but I am taking that as a good sign they don't expect it to happen again. Midwives have been lovely though and said I can go see them anytime.

    Oh and I are going for a meal tomorrow night with friends while my mum babysits . Then Sunday going to see Father Christmas at the ski slope up the road.

    Great news Wendz! Glad that they don't seem worried about you too. Is Poppy excited about being a big sister? :)

    Love seeing photos of Ben! He's such a cutie. :)

    I'm still full of cold. It seems to come and go and it's been going on for about 6 weeks, I've probably been through a few strains of it without realising! :o

    Hope everyone had a good weekend? It was my work's Christmas party on Saturday night so we had a rare night out and had a good time. Yesterday we lounged about a little, picked Z-man up from my parents' (and had to wait over an hour and a half for him to wake up from his mega nap as he was too comfy to move!) then in the afternoon we tackled the cupboard of doom so I can count that as a PHD Challenge success! :T All I need to do now is make 5 Christmas presents, 3 of which need to be finished by Thursday :eek: Oh, and I have 4 orders to finish! I'm getting quite frustrated with OH on a weekend as whenever I say I need some time to work on orders he distracts me with doing something else so I don't get to do any work. I don't think he realises that I'm actually working rather than just faffing and making a mess, whenever I call it work he scoffs and says 'Yeah, but it's not really work, is it?'. Annoying! :p I wish I had a room I could lock myself in (and him out...!) ;)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
