can you ask them to bring you tea at a more reasonable time in future EF. Oh and ask hubby to bring a mug from home so you don't have to use tiny weeny cups!

After watching the apprentice I think I could set up a dating website!!

(only 3 auto corrects to change in that brief post and I nearly set up a seating website!!)

oh Lordy!!! Big boo to hosp food, meeting builders, trapped thumbs and scary scan. Brookie - I would echo what others have said and encourage you to try and keep things normal. Hope that baby was just lying funny and they get a better look next time. 

Lotte - Your life will be unrecognisable when they reach driving ages and can get themselves sorted!! 

Caro - read posts from the last backwards and thought for a second you were avoiding morning sickness!!! Hate sharing bugs too but at least yours was not on purpose. I took Archie into class earlier and his friend told him he had puked yesterday..... gee thanks for coming back to school to share that! I am sure you are breezing that plan?? 

Hoggle - we are due rain too so you aren't alone.... still sucks though! 

CC - you are a good friend. Sensible call cancelling class - you can't be everywhere (unless you are lotte)

JT - we ought to pick a sat/ sun in the Hols when some of the others are down and do a south wales fun day! Or everyone could camp up with me (sis has a campsite). 

Hoping it chucks it down tomorrow...sports day and I have a meeting I cannot rearrange. If weather is foul they will postpone it! Will take your advice folks and step back on the running until I feel a bit more with it. 

yippee to fairy visits, legoland and er, um struggling to think of any..... vouchers? 

BOO to crappy communications off your Pilates trainer CC, expensive days out and planning all the child activities, jobs and household chores that we all need to!!! 

CM - not sure who to suggest a referral to but I would be making it clear that you are concerned that 'something' is going on and you want a thorough MOT to put your mind at ease. We ought to meet at cyfartha - kids loved it there last year.

Archie rang his bell for service again this morning after I was up in the night to Tom having bad dreams (not helped by the fact I keep putting a sock over his hands to stop the thumb sucking!). Forced myself to running club for a very sluggish 5 miles. London and then Man v Horse mara have defo sapped speed and strength and I am struggling big style to stay with the group! Any tips? 

big hugs to you EF - you'll have to start a blog, or a secret undercover exposé of maternity care or write a book, start painting or do online consultations and make wads of cash..... 

boo to errant hubbies, I can't moan as mine hardly ever does anything fun for himself! 

CM - hope you feel better soon, must be hard on days like today as you can't exactly grieve for your dad because he is alive and well but not able to keep a relationship with you. i am sure (yes, really) you are not fat but I know how awful you must be feeling with the constant set backs. It just can't continue - did you say you could use your private health insurance to get a second opinion? 

Lovely day today, drove to Merthyr to the cinema, nandos for lunch then some shopping and a quick dash to the festival park at EbwVale where the boys loved the tube slides! ggrrrrrr back to work tomorrow...... must buy more lotto tickets!

EF -glad you are not bleeding now but not having a bed is disgusting! Please shout louder if you are still on a trolley now. Could they insist on bed rest from now on? Or at least finishing work? You have been through so much to get to this point - fingers tightly crossed he / she stops kicking the placenta soon! 

JG - fab swimming (Sophie not you...) and glad the skies were kind for her picnic (or nick nick as my boys call them). 

Have Archie sat between us for a cuddle - the handbell was vigorously rung at 6:50 summoning breakfast in bed....... and I obliged.
