    Sorry you're black and blue, but at least the sale sounds like its progressing okay. My last m.b. went well too, I *really* like it, tho I'm still terrified. With the bonuses & cashback for opening various accounts, I've made over £100 already, which is something like 80% in one month. Pretty pleased with that!

    Hi Panda

    Hope everything is ok with you, and that the reason you havnt updated is because you are too busy getting ready for the impending move. Hope everything is going well with it.

    Hows the pregnancy going, im waiting for you to be posting a much less traumatic delivery than chocaholic when the time comes.

    take care

    It's been a really busy few days, but then I think I say that on every post! I've popped on and off here, but every time I'm just about to try and find this thread I get distracted and give up - can't believe I haven't updated anything for 8 days! Must go attack those challenge totals next.

    I officially stopped being allowed to 'work' at work properly at the weekend - medical regulations with pregnancy etc. So now I just have to turn up for the next 6 weeks and sit around doing absolutely nothing, which won't really make much of a difference to the almost nothing that I do the rest of the time! The exam was fine last week, just a formality really but something that has to be done every year (even if you're about to give it up the following day for 12 weeks!).

    All's going fine - nothing significant to report. Had a minor scare yesterday as I hadn't felt the baby move much at all for about 24 hours and he's normally really, really active. They got me to go in for a trace which was perfect, and they also did a scan and checked the placenta with some doppler thingy, and everything seems to be absolutely fine so hopefully he's just been a bit sleepy! The shape of the bump seems to have changed a bit, so maybe he's just moved round a bit and I can't feel him as much. But the whole time I was worrying about it, I kept thinking of the whole Choca saga, and just hoping that they wouldn't rush me into surgery or anything. Thankfully not as I'm not in the slightest bit ready to have the baby yet - wait another 6 weeks at least please!

    Got nice post the other day - 4 identical envelopes with Irish postmarks. Each contained a cheque for a random amount between £30 and £40! I'm assuming it must be some of the bingo wins that were done from a credit card rather than debit card. A nice surprise all the same!

    Lunar - going to find your diary now, fingers crossed for some good news!
    Hypno - I'm not even going to attempt to catch up on your diary beyond the last page or I'll be here all night! Be sure to update me if I've missed anything!
    MM - have sent you a PM, well done with the wins. Some people are just unfairly lucky!
    KC, really pleased that you've totally got the hang of the MB. I was going to try and do one tonight, but have a feeling I'll spend the evening catching up on emails and things instead!

    Right, off to catch up!

    Hi PP, glad that all is well with the baby!

    And as for turning up to work but not being allowed to actually work, how fab is that :rotfl:

    As for me, well my last few days have consisted of starting out on my free bingo career, and actually being paid a real salary!! The children are due home tonight so we can start getting some sort of "normality" if ever there was one in this house!!

    Wow, can't believe they're back already! Seems like just a couple of weeks ago, I bet it feels like months to you in some ways, but as though it was only yesterday in others :D. Is DH off to collect them (with his passport!), or are they on their way back with some of the other kids? If I read your diary it'll probably say - that's my next stop!
