****September Stars!!**** - 119 Babies Born!!

[MrsJ08]

Bekks - how annoying, I would have cried too.

Babythinkpink - hope your phone has turned up now.

Teeny - I've just got back from Sainsbury's too. Instead of going to my closest one (Chiswick) I went to a quieter one on the Richmond ring road and I'm glad I did as they had loads of stock. I bought lots of Nappies and Wipes when Asda had their event on - so I used this one to buy toiletries, maternity pads and breast pads instead. Here is a pic of what I managed to get for £23. I'm really pleased as Sudocrem and that Johnson's Top to Toe wash is flipping expensive

Apaton

Becs - Midwife's now rebooked me for the 16th July, long wait again but it's better to get it done late than never I suppose!

I did a round at Sainsbury's today too. They were all out of Sudocrem though and I spent 15 minutes just staring at all of the things with no idea what I needed to get. Ended up chucking in loads of baby bath, baby shampoo, cotton buds and some other kind of nappy cream :S

 

[becs0375]

Sainsburys is the place to be lol!!! I wonder when Asda will have another baby event on?!! I can't believe Tesco never have such good deals!!

 

[drea2904]

[Snoozie]

Hi ladies! I've made it over here today.

chat soon, off to shower and get the terrible threesome ready for bed.xxx

 

[becs0375]

Oh no Drea, I am so sorry, couldn't of come at a worse time for you xx

 

[opticalillus5]

Hey Ladies...

Louise... Hope you're feeling better today hun

Congrats to Jellycat & Snoozie on third tri

well we could all be buddies?

Sounds good to me... I need one too We could just PM a few numbers, then if someone can't get on we have a fallback plan?

Bekklez - that's terrible. I'm sure your baby will be fine, but to mess you about like that when it's not your fault at all is awful.

to apaton & drea too... what's wrong apaton honey? Drea, My ex was laid off on the day my DD was born - Fx you get something sorted

Well, I've just had a HUGE kick which didn't just take my breath away - It really bloody hurt!!!! It was right in the ribs, and felt like i'd been stabbed! Little sod.

I'm starting to worry now about getting things done. The baby's room still needs decorating, and I feel like I haven't bought anything for ages even though I have quite a lot of stuff. I keep panicking about packing the hospital bags too...

But, on a plus point, I got a GORGEOUS summer dress from H&M for a wedding night do tomorrow. I'll post pics tomorrow night when I wear it - it was only £15 and it's fab.

Righty, gotta dash to the horsey. Still no luck on selling her... someone came to see her the other day and then said they had no money, and would I take installments!!! Errr.... no.

Hope everyone else is ok xxx

 

[becs0375]

WTF installments on a horse???? Some people are weird!! Dress sounds fab, h&m have some nice stuff in!!

 

[Asher]

Hi ladies!

Drea so sorry to hear about your hubby. Has it just come out of the blue? What awful timing, I know there's never a right time, but this is definitely nowhere near the right time.

Bekklez sorry about your GTT, the buggers. They should make some allowances. When are you next at your MW?

Babythinkpink I am in love with that dress, I think I might jump on your bandwagon and get one for myself!

Little A how bizarre is that! I keep thinking of mine as a girl subconsciously every now and then, but I have no gut feeling of whether it is actually blue or pink.

MrsJ you got a good stash there for your money! Well done you! These baby events are fab!

Carley and the SPD crew - it's bloomin rotten isn't it! I have had way more good days than bad since no longer being at work. Just the lack of physical activity from my job seems to have really helped. That and continuing to swim and walk the dogs. But then last night I got a bit adventurous and went on way too long a walk with them, and I paid for it BIG time in the night and all day today. My hips and the whole of the front of my pelvis are agony. I have learnt my lesson!

 

[Drazic<3]

Drea - I am really sorry to hear that. Me and OH have just been made redundant too, it's scary

I am well up for the swopping numbers thing too, I think we need each others support!

 

[becs0375]

Asher you naughty lady!!! You need to take it easy!!

I have a night to myself, my DH has taken my nephew out camping for the night so I am gonna clean my cooker and bleach my floors, then watch BB!! So looking forward to having the bed to myself!!

 

[drea2904]

Thanks guys Its just an awful time, no time is right but with me off, feeling quite low as it is then that, Buggary Buggary! Well he will be on hunt for a new job, he's grafter and never been off sick, but i KNOW HOW HARD IT IS OUT THERE JUST NOW! (sorry for caps, made mistake cant be assed changing it!)

I also got a letter from Perinatal Mental Health.....I was feeling so low that gp thought I should speak with someone and weigh up benefits of maybe going back on tabs etc and to help with my previous PND not overlapping, well I read this and now paniking thinking Mental Health @ Psychiatry, they gonna think im some nutter and just thinking horrible stuff so today has not been good!! I just cant wait to go to bed, tomorrow is another day!!

Hope everyone else is ok, sorry for lack of personals, ill get a proper catch up tomorrow. Defo think having a few numbers is a great idea, specially now we are getting further on. Dont nobody want the nutcase from Glasgow now lol.xx

 

[Asher]

Aw Drea don't beat yourself up. You are doing the best thing for you and the family, making sure your mental health is looked after.

 

[apaton]

aww drea

our house fell through and i had handed in our notice here , its up on the 15th august, everything seems to be going wrong think we will need to move in with mum till we get something which will be totally overcrowded things could be worse i just need a good shake xx

 

[MrsJ08]

Drea - I'm really sorry to hear your news. As everyone know's I was made redundant when the Icelandic banks collapsed and it was one of the worst experiences of my life because it was a shock more than anything. However, I do believe everything happens for a reason so try and stay positive. DH may well be back in work before you know it. Will he be paid redundancy? The company I was working for was put into administration so I only received statutory redundancy of £500 rather than the £12000 I was owed. My main piece of advice is, as horrible as it is make sure your DH "signs on" asap as he will be automatically entitled to Contributions based Jobseekers allowance (everyone is provided they have paid enough NI in the previous 2 years) help towards your mortgage/rent and probably council tax benefit. The other positive is that you might now get the £500 Sure Start Maternity Grant as it's not being scrapped until next year. I worked out that I have paid £200k in Income tax over the past 12 years and I was really shy and slow when it came to claiming benefits. I wasn't entitled to very much which is frustrating when you have paid so much in. But, redundancy isn't your fault so when it happens you should claim what you are entitled to. Sending you lots of

 

[Jellycat]

Drea - so sorry to hear about your DH, i know it's a big shock even when you might be expecting it. As mrs J says try and find out what you can claim

Bekkelez - glad to hear your GTT is rebooked, as you say better late than never. I'll let you know how I get on Wednesday

Babythinkpink - I've been looking at that dress for a couple of weeks now, I love blue

Well been busy today doing housework which is the first time in ages as DH has been doing the work since i've been pregnant. I got a call from my sister this afternoon to tell me my dads ill and needs to go upto London to a respiratory specialist. I feel really upset and stressed now as she kept saying how upset my mum is etc. The thing is my mum hasn't even told me any of it and I'm normally the one she confides in when dad is ill . I had a good cry when DH came home and now feel emotionally exhausted, I have this sick empty feeling which I used to get when Dad was first taken ill years ago and they didnt know what the best treatment was for him. I just feel so useless.

Sorry needed to get that out of my system
