    I am indeed.. we have never had a TV.. I begrudge every penny of the extortionate licence fee.. we do watch some things (like time team and grand designs) on 4oD.. you don't need a licence unless it is live streaming at the same time as it is showing on the goggler.. we did check! lol

    Wow! I wouldnt have givent the license a thought for 4oD etc. Would you get one if the license fee was abolished? I bet many of us think that tv is essential. Or is that just me? :confused:

    Mind you, I think if I'd been ordered not to have the baby before Friday, I'd be drinking as much raspberry leaf tea as my kidneys could cope with, jumping up and down and eating curry in an attempt to make the baby come BEFORE Friday. But then I'm mean like that..

    SO AM I! :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl:

    i been taking raspberry leaf tablets 6 a day for past 3 weeks... have 18 tea bags of it downstairs... been told to try evening primrose oil capsules too.. so 4 of them a day... as much housework as i can physically manage specially ones involving stretching and wiggling of bum (i.e cleaning floors etc)... been bouncing on my gym ball... and (sorry if itsTMI but.....) have already got a very bad tummy and have had for a week so curry isnt an option :o:o but thats the desired outcome of eating it apparently so that box is ticked!!

    The only solutions i havent tried is castor oil (see curry reason.. and also it carries risk to baby as can make them poop in my belly and therefore ill) and and the big one midwife suggested i try last week as she didnt wanna see me at my appointment tomorrow (:rolleyes: )... lots and lots of sex!!! :shocked: :shocked: OH isnt exactly in the frame of mind at the min as you can imagine and neither am I so havent managed to even attempt that one even though its meant to be the best! :rolleyes: :(:o :rotfl:

    Although this little part of me does want to jump him - JUST to get the baby out and spite his mother......... his dad would see the funny side of that im sure :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Johanne.. my precious.. If this wasn't online my reply would be... f*** her!! I'd go into labour in the middle of the funeral just so I could be special too!! I'd sit straining until my waters broke during the service.. lol.. dare you!!

    As I am online and have to behave myself slightly better than the local chav family.. My first thoughts are.. she is attention seeking.. she knows she is the centre of attention and is lapping it up.. ignore it.. YOU are better than that because you care..

    If OH isn't grown up enough to fight your corner then he need to kick him into touch.. tell him how that made you feel.. of course he is upset but so are you and you are having his baby and you are his other half, the one he has chosen to spend the rest of his life with. You HAVE to tell him.. He probably has no idea what she has said but will know you are upset and that will upset him more. You are his family.. you are the one he loves.. or at least I would hope you are!! If he has anything about him he will hold your hand throughout and you WILL sit next to him.. Leave the baby's rose on the coffin and adorn it with whatever you like!!! You are taking it and you are old enough to make your own decision. AND.. you are NOT ALLOWED to take communion if you are not Catholic.. you can be receive a blessing (priest lays his heads on your head and says 'bless you my child' normally!).. but you cannot have the communion.. so you go tell her to stick that up her bum and light it!

    I hate funerals, I hate weddings and I hate birthdays.. they always mean family gatherings and that always means trouble!!

    And you.. are too nice!!!

    Nicki .. go smash WIL's (witch-in-law) face in... and give Johanne a big big hug from all of us!

    The sex thing.. it is actually proven to be more effective if you 'swallow' .. honestly.. but I barely got to 34 weeks with most of mine.. and some I didn't even make it that far!

    My SIL ran up and down the stairs several times in one day.. and had hers the next day.. with all 4..
