I do like their meats and cheeses cupcake. Especially the German sausage mmmmm.

They do have really cheap biscuits and chocolate thurl, I was bad and bought some when I went but df managed to gobble his way through most of it! He's like a child, if there's a packet of biscuits in he can't just have one, he'll have about 6!

Nearly bedtime cupcake!!

Yeah definatley try holland and Barrett thurl, they do some good deals.

God bailey they are awkward haha, what about a nice scarf? Yup hubby is over tomorrow yay x

£60 on shopping, I hope it will last a while

I've got hiccups and it hurts

strange, off-topic questions...i'm in the u.s. and we do dollar $. How many U.S. dollars is £60?

Also, so you all celebrate mother's day in March and we celebrate it in May...funny how things are so different, you know? And you all call baby strollers prams. My hubby looked one up the other day and he wants one!

 

[baileybubs]

Ttc I think due to the current exchange rate £60 is about $90.

And Mother's Day over here is dependent upon when Easter falls, it's always 3 weeks before Easter Sunday.

 

[baileybubs]

Guys I am so mad, df is supposed to be off on holiday next week coz he has a weeks holiday pay to use before the end of march. He has just text me saying he's really mad coz he's now been told he can't be off!! So I've asked him why and is he joking and to speak to the manager but of course he's now not replying coz he's busy at work!! I'm so annoyed coz he didn't even want next week off anyway, he wanted the last week in March coz that's just before I am due, but they said no coz its Easter week and he had to take it from next week instead!!

And df lets people walk all over him, he's not like me, I'd kick up a big fuss over it but he will just complain to me about it and won't say anything to his boss!

 

[thurl30]

What? that's not on! Surely companies can't just turn around and say no actually you need to cancel your holiday??!!

Re the shop, have you tried their white chocolate and strawberry crisp bars? OMG

 

[baileybubs]

Apparently they can cancel it coz it's more than 48 hours notice. He's not explained it properly I have to wait til he gets home but I'm just so annoyed now. I wish he hasn't told me through a text and then just said "I'll explain when I get home"

No I don't like white chocolate, I'm a strange person I know lol!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Thts rubbish bailey dfs work sounds shit always changing days off and holidays. Wee Leo's doing good kicking away but still breech

 

[Tawn]

Hi ladies!

Thurl, so good to see you back on here hun!

TTC, if you ever need anything translated I like to consider myself an amazing English-to-American translating source As an American living in England whose been with a Brit for almost 6 years, I feel like I can speak two versions of "English" lol!

Cheryl, HOW ANNOYING about your nursery furniture! I would be livid! Especially as you can't really know for exactly sure when Leo will arrive and the furniture could very turn up AFTER he is born and you just don't have the time or energy to do it! Glad you will be able to put the wallpaper up though, I definitely want pics!

Cath, £100 a month on groceries!!!!!!! THAT IS BLOODY AMAZING! We spend about £50-60 a week depending on whether I stocked up at the butchers or was lazy and got meat at the store etc etc. Tell your DF he has a super saver on his hands and not to complain! lol. And good job getting him, I LOVED your way of introducing the topic--suggestive but not full of pressure! Way to go girly!

MrsD, I am soooo sorry you are feeling so rough. I hope a weekend with your hubby is just what the doctor ordered and all those endorphins make you feel a bit better hun! Do you two have any plans while he is in London?

Amy, you poor thing! I can't imagine being so tired I fall asleep while posting! I am glad to hear Emily is thriving and growing so well though hun! How amazing that you have such great breastfeeding established when she was in hospital for those first few weeks! I am so impressed by that and will use it as motivation that no matter what it can be done (as I really want to be successful!) be ready for lots of questions in a few weeks time

Bailey, that is absolute bull about DF's holiday! I hope they make it up to him somehow, and don't expect him to just lose out on it if he doesn't use it before the end of the month! That place seems to walk all over your DF tbh

Cupcake, I hope you are already fast asleep to speed up time till your scan! You know we will all be waiting with bated breath to see a picture of your perfect bean!

Did I miss anyone!? I can't remember, my "perfect" memory is failing me now!

AFM, I am still feeling pretty good overall but can't stand looking at myself in the mirror! I have all-day black circles under my eyes from not getting great sleep and good LORD do I need a haircut! Add to that my cankles from hell with the swelling that has started this week and I feel SEXXXXXXXXYYYY Good thing I have a hair appt booked for next weekend, maybe that will help?

 

[CherylC3]

Aw Tawn thts a shame I hav no swelling yet. I'm sure ur hair appointment will give u a lift.. How's ur nursary looking?x

 

[Tawn]

Yeah it was really strange, came on day before yesterday out of nowhere and was pretty bad! It comes and goes, so I am not too worried about it. Today has been better, though, so that is good! And yes, definitely hoping the haircut helps me feel a bit less frumpy!

I forgot to upload the nursery pics on here! It is about 95% done but I am in no real rush to finish the last bits because she won't even be in there for at least 4 months. I also owe a bump pic that I promised you ladies, so I will have to remember to get that done soon!

Here's Madison's TINY box room!

[CherylC3]

Aw gorgeous Hun I love it. Xxx

 

[baileybubs]

I love Maddie's room Tawn! You are so creative! I'm getting the swelling now too, I keep saying to df "are my feet swollen" and he keeps saying no but he's lying!! I've had to take my engagement ring off too.

When's your wallpaper due to arrive Cheryl?

I think I've worked out why df's boss has said he can't have next week off. Df was confused but based on what he's just told me, it's because he has only worked there since November. He's only accrued one weeks holiday, so his boss is worried that if he takes next week off and then I go I to labour the following week or the week after he won't have any holiday days left and will have to be unpaid. Once it's April the new holiday year starts so he will be fine for 2 weeks in April though. Ideally he should be able to take the last week of March off then instead so he's using his week and doesn't matter if I then go into labour after coz its the new holiday year but as its Easter week then he's not allowed. Does that make sense?? Annoyingly he never wanted next week off originally anyway, it was his boss who was making him take it and now we have plans!

 

[AmyB1978]

Tawn, be careful with sudden swelling as it can be a sign of preeclampsia, I am sure you probably know that I just want to make sure you and Maddie are safe.
I am sure you are beautifully pregnant!

Cupcake, hope you are getting some sleep, good luck at your scan.

 

[CherylC3]
