  • I have just been on to sky store and got Rio plus the actual DVD posted for free. So if any of you lovely people have sky and children then get on now before sky notice their mistake. You will need your PIN number.

    Good tip ROTE! We don't have Sky but my parents do, will have to ask them to get it for me! :)

    That transfer is great Star! :)

    Will have to get myself off to Primark, been avoiding shopping recently as we don't really have the money, and on the odd time we have been shopping DH has refused point blank to enter Primark! :o

    So normal to feel nervous Cinny. I was a bit like Birdie, relieved that there was a baby there and relieved there was just one. OH is a twin and his mother too and although I know it runs on the girls side I was terrified. Hey - just had a thought. Maybe I'll be a Nanna to twins!!! Now that would be cool :)

    Thanks, ROTE :) Managed to snag the dvd yesterday, made sure I took a picture of the screen saying it was £0.00 just to be safe if they try and charge me!

    I never thought of it that way, CMD! If we have a girl she'll have twin Aunt/Uncles so can be 185301% more terrified than me about having multiples ;)

    Glad it's a normal fear :) Tried talking to OH about it last night, but he just kept saying "everything will be fine" or "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" (@ me being worried over them being small or no heartbeat..) but I was so self pitying, that even though I know he was just trying to make me feel better, I felt like he was just trying to shut the conversation/me down. So I got more upset and took myself off to bed for a sulk :rotfl::rotfl:

    He's probably just as nervous as you are Cinny, but he's just being strong for you - albeit in a slightly typically unsympathetic male way! :p Hugs for the sulk though! :)

    Being a Nana to twins is a lot more attractive a prospect than being a Mum to twins CMD! :rotfl:

    I know he was really, and even when I was getting upset I knew I was being silly. Damn hormones :o We were going to go see Inside Out today, but I've heard it's made grown men cry so I need to avoid it at all costs.

    One thing I think about twins is, at least it gets the job over with in one go :rotfl: We're only wanting one kid, but I have a feeling they'll get to be about 2 and we'll start wondering about a sibling for them.

    Had a :money: moment today! Bought some Little Angels Non-Bio gel because it was reduced to 75p and I told OH we should probably start stocking up. Scanned at 38p :T I'd only picked 3 up but I'm tempted to go back after work and get the rest :o

    Tahdah! :) Little Fox is measuring at 12+4, so I'll be 13 weeks on Monday. Due date is the 15th of February, hoping they're exactly 5 days late so they can share my Nan's 80th Birthday ;)

    Absolutely knackered now and I'm meant to be at work until 4pm! Don't think I'm going to make it, I have no motivation or energy :rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

    Woo! Lovely Cinny! S/he looks like you! ;) Very pleased for you! :D

    Hope everyone has nice plans for the weekend. We're going to see Inside Out tomorrow night and Zach's off to his Nana's for a sleepover :) Not sure about Sunday, if the weather's nice we might go through to where Ma and Pa live as there's some kind of Emmerdale charity cricket match or something going on. Not that I'd recognise anyone, I don't watch it! :p
