    Feeling left out with all these pig and whisky and terra-whatsits teams.
    Think I'll start a "tatty old cardboard and wooden boxes" team. Anyone want to join?
    I'm not really counting but I think I've got about £6.00 in so far.

    hi oopalah, I have a cardboard box to save my change in too so you don't have to feel left out :D £6 so far is great!
    I love Phil & Spot (& the penguins!) surfbabe did you paint the spots on Spot, they are great. It will be sad when you have to break them open next december though as they are so cute!

    Hello all, sorry but im taking a few days away..as most of u know im preg and i had to have scan few days ago and im only 5 weeks...they could onyl see the sac as they said its too early to see the baby and i have to go for another scan in 13days. So bit scared as i misscarried in between my two kids and there was only a sac when the baby had died..but plenty of people have told me this is normal as babys heartbeat doesnt beat till 6 weeks anyways but il let you know how things go. If anyone wants to email/msn me then its [EMAIL="mumzyof2@hotmail.co.uk"]mumzyof2@hotmail.co.uk[/EMAIL] im so tired lately so just resting and sleeping alot

    Sending you lots of positive vibes Mumzy. It is indeed very normal not to be able to see anything much before 6 weeks or even later, it must be very difficult for you and I hope that the 13 days until your next scan fly by.
  • hi mumzy, good to hear from you, you take care & get all the rest you need, will be keeping our fingers crossed for you that the next scan is good news xxx

    Take care Mumzy - hope the next two weeks go fast.

    I've still got no money saving pot- think I'll have to ask OH to cut a hole in an old chocolate tin.

    Hope you're feeling OK, Mumzy, look after yourself.

    I've just finished making my backup pig, except it's a cow, my 'cash cow'. He's still not dry enough to paint but should be done by tomorrow.

    Love the penguins! But still waiting to see your papier mache pig :)
