    Good afternoon everyone

    Lucifa -folic acid is definitely free by prescription! Get your GP / midwife to fill in the form for you.

    Sarah - have you got another cat - I know about Lewis, it was just the 'new cat' comment?

    I'm feeling a lot calmer now than I was earlier - though that's more to do with an unexpectedly early visit from Aunt Flo. I was in tears over a few problems at work, fast forward 3 hours and 2 and a half problems gone and a teeny little problem to deal with! A doddle.

    I felt really virtuous this morning - I was awake so early (4am) that by 6am I decided to get up and go for a jog and... I managed to do this lap jogging all the way (it was only 15 minutes though) but I jogged it all and didn't walk any of it:A

    Hope everyone else's day is going well.

    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:
    My sister was really sneaky when she was pregnant and told everyone that her husband had complained about how much tea and coffee she drank and had bet her (some silly amount of money) that she couldn't give up caffeine cold turkey and stay off it for FIVE months (until their holiday) - well before the five months were up she was visibly pregnant but as an initial excuse it worked wonders...

    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


    Dont get me started again on strange pregnancy cravings:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    My Mum craved pink mash (mash and tomato ketchup stirred together) with me. I think she was too poorly with my baby bro to be craving anything other than painkillers ...
