:rotfl: Just been looking for some info about European trains for my summer hols and came across some reviews of scenic train trips including this one (check out the surname as well :rotfl:)...
"Swiss "FART" train
Our favorite train ride was on the oddly named train "FART" in beautiful Switzerland (this really is the name!). My wife and I both took "FART" from Locarno to Camedo and we were besides ourselves with the experience. Camedo is situated in a beautiful Alpine canyon and the "FART" cuts right through it. Views ALL around! I highly recommend this oddly named train. (Yes, it has resulted in many fun stories to tell!)

Thanks. Still totally shell shocked as for various reasons I thought I couldn't have children. I had written the symptoms off to raging PMT:rotfl:
Got a book called 'Emma's diary' from the midwife yesterday and my pre scan pack to start filling out for my next appointment. Can't believe that little Bumpy Bean has cost me over 20quid in 2 days (single test and folic acid tablets):rotfl:

Knitting wise: it's only very poor quality scarves from me too! I can french knit though - what can you make a baby that's been french knitted, apart from a coaster for their bottle?! I think I am a great disappointment to my creative mother in that I am not very creative at all!
How brilliant Jet! - Makes me wantt o get pregnant just so I can go to the dentist for nothing! If I went at the moment it would cost me £50!! Hence I haven't been for 4 years - oh dear!Official DFW Nerd Club #20 :cool: Proud To Be Dealing With My DebtsDFW Long Hauler #109

When I learned to crochet I just made dishcloths. Now I'm onto lacy scarves and I practice by making individual squares/hexagons that will make a patchwork blanket when I've got enough. Can't knit though - my tension is all over the place.
Will definitely register for the freebies, thanks guys. Can't do it at the minute as I'm at work but will get it sorted while I'm on holiday.
I filled out a form which the nurse is sending away for free precscriptions and dentist but I didn't want to be 2 weeks without while I'm on holiday so bought a month's worth.
Just munching on a ginger biscuit to add flavour to my glass of water which is about the only fluid I've found that doesn't taste funny - milk's out which means no tea/coffee/hot chocolate, orange juice and apple juice not great either... Hope this passes soon else I'm going to get awfully bored...26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

I found out when preggers that I hated the smell and taste of both tea and coffee....which was very hard as I worked in a coffee shop at the time:D
I also developed a strange craving for Branston Pickle....:cool:
I detest the stuff and havent eaten it since:heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -
The guy who sits opposite me thinks I'm ill or detoxing. We take it in turns to make each other cups of tea all day but I've been turning him down all day...:p He keeps asking if I'm doing some weired diet:rotfl:
I'm bursting to tell people but, other than parents, we're keeping schtum until after the first scan
I wonder if the milk thing will stop me eating chocolate:eek:26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

Pretty much all I drink is water and has been since I went off tea (ugh even the word makes me gag). I can't do tap water or filtered though, has to be bottled which isn't that mse.:A
