Oooh its all go in here again!
Babydust & Lea - funny you should mention Wham bars - I got a pack of 50 mini ones in different flavours (strawberry, Irn Bru, sour apple and the normal ones in the blue wrappers) and Im gradually working my way through them justifying that I have to eat about 10 in a go to make up for the size of a normal wham bar (as if!)
I've also eaten two packs of melon pieces tho to make myself feel more healthy! Junior is having a quiet day so far - maybe he doesnt approve of Whams!
Babydust - Im sorry your daughter was so upset, Im sure it will get easier but it can't be very nice for you having to leave her all sad
Lea - Great news about your friend - and there's nothing wrong with having an emotional day now and then, especially for nice reasons!
Rach -
on the weight and scan (and your bump pic which Ive now seen!)
Lisa - Hope the cold clears up - I hate colds, it's not even like you can say you are properly ill is it - as people never seem to take colds seriously
- you just feel like absolute poop and its very wearing!
ROM hope the Consultant appt went ok earlier
everyone else!

Well I'm back - my consultant is as mad as a box as frogs!! She was so reassuring - we havent seen her since our ectopic in December and I think she was more chuffed than us. Anyway to cut a long story short she has downgraded me to a "normal" pregnancy!! The only thing that she has requested is two extra scans one at 32 weeks and one at 36 just to check the placenta as apparently older mums sometimes have problems towards the end with it seperating. She says we can have any time of delivery we like - even a home birth if thats what we want - Dave went green at that point She checked baby's heartbeat and it was fine plus the normal blood pressure and urine test which were all Ok and that was it - we were sent on our way with the next appointment to see her being 9th December!! She did ask if we were going to sell our story to a magazine

Claire your DD will get better with school honestly - its so bloody hard though isnt it - I remember feeling so awful as I left Josh (or should I say as someone was pulling him off my leg as I walked away!!) Enjoy your Wham bars - I'm going to have to find some of these to try them for myself

Wow, so much to catct up on, where do I start???
ROM - Big congratulations to your son, you must be over the moon with his exam results, but also sad that he's leaving home. His accomodation sounds great, nothing like the accomodation we have at the Uni I work at!! Also great news on being dowgraded to a normal pregnancy, it sounds like everything is going well for you.
Lea - I know I'm a bit late in saying this, but I'm really sorry to hear about your dog. Also, like Rach said, what is normal? You sound like a really fun honest person. great news about your friend carrying twins.
Mel&Bean - Happy 21st
Rach - That must have been really emotional going to the spiritulist church and having a message from your nan. Also lovely to hear your babies heartbeats again.
Babydust - I can remember when my DD started nursery, it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, leaving her behind when all she wanted to do was cling on to me broke my heart, on many occassion I'd get back into my car and sob. Now though she loves nursery and charges into her room and head dives into the ball pool - very funny. I'm sure it won't be long before your daughter settles in, .
to everyone else
What are Wham bars? I think I'm loseing my memory - are they the circular bars? I really can't remember them!
Here's my catch up: Me and DD drove down to stay with my in-laws on Friday for a break while our roof is changed on the house (we currently have no roof tiles on the front of the house - not good when you live in wet Wales!!)
Went to lemington on Saturday and got a bargain of a buggy/travel system. Reduced from £279.99 to £179.99. Tested it out and decided I liked it and it was the one, so went to the checkout to buy it, was told there that they couldn't find an order number for it in any of their catalogues and they didn't have any in stock, so I said I'd buy it on-line, they said it wasn't available on-line, so I asked what was the point on having it on display if it wasn't available to buy! The assistant was really nice and helpful and spoke to the manager to ask if I could buy the display model, the manager said I could. I said I wanted them to reduce the price as there was (minimal) wear and tear on the buggy, the manager said no, she sent the assistant back to me who told me this, so I asked if I could speak to the manager, when I spoke to her I explained my reasons for wanting more money off it, she backed down immidiately and said she'd reduce the price so in the end got the buggy for the grand old price of £150. I was well chuffed as I'm not normally that assertive. It looks a bit like the quinny buzz, but not as posh and it's red. I love it and DD seems quite comfy in it, she even fell asleep in it on Sunday which she never does.
At last the baby has started kicking, I love it. It kept me awake on friday night along with my DD who was really unsettled
as she normally is on the first night of us going away. She woke up at about 3.20am screaming, so I brought her into bed (a single!) with me and she was wriggling around all night while the baby was kicking me, so I hardly slept and to top it all at about 4.30 my car alarm went off, my DD was like a leech and wouldn't let go of me so me and her were out in the street, me in my nightie, her in her bodysuit - what a sight had anyone been passing!
Can't think of any other news from this end, hope you all have a good day.

Babydust - Sorry Hun - no sleep and sad kiddies makes for an unhappy Claire no doubt! It WILL get better, and in the meantime eat all the Wham bars you want - at least someone is keeping me company in that department.
ROM - I meant to say before - yep those twisted things are lush aren't they! I love the ones in the red wrapper!
Bexie - go you getting a good deal! Sorry you didnt get much sleep though!
Wham bars are chewy bars that have a bit of sour stuff in them (but like someone said no as much as they used to Im sure!).............
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - haha you're right Rach I had better consider my teeth in all this sweety madness!

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all ok today?
Bexie -well done on the bargain buggy!!! good work! And also congrats on baby kicking! I cant wait to feel a proper kick!
babydust - sorry your DD is finding it tough with starting school, really hope she settles soon as soon as she makes friends she'll be eager to get there each morning!
Chok - you shouldnt have posted a pic of the wham bars...its making me want to go get some now!!!! yummmmy!
rach - sorry to hear that you have a boil cant be nice ...hope it clears up for you but yey to 14 shifts!
Not much happening with me, dragged myself into work (later than usual....thank god for flexi time!) still stuffed up with the cold and its pouring outside will the rain ever stop!!?
gonna ask OH to get some chocolate on the way home from work....... he's feeling sorry for himself too as he has a coldsore.... so i'm sure he'll agree!
Oh has anyone heard/bought a book called "pregnancy sucks - for men" ?? Bought it for my OH at the weekend and had a sneak peak myself! I found it so funny, basically because it is so true! I was crying with laughter I had to put it down! A definate good read for the funny side of pregnancy (well for us anyway).
Hope everyone else is ok xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just been online to see if I could find an image of my new buggy and here it is http://www.mothercare.com/gp/product/B0011E325O In the shop it said it was origionally £279.99, oh well at least I still managed to get it cheaper than the listed price.

This is turning into the Wham appreciation thread!
