Right, going to attempt to do some personals. If it all goes wrong, I shall scream!

Lise - how in the name of God is your flight costing so much???? Are you going by private jet or something?! Via London and Paris and Monte Carlo? All I can say is make sure you get a points card before you go on that flight... if it's qantas you'll fly for years on that!

Sammiejam - that's actually quite scary. I think mine might have it already. On the subject of a show - I have no idea how much of a show a show is!! Did you ring the hospital? What did they say?

Wantbaby - I had an official scan last week and we had a short 3d scan without us asking for it or being told that info... I'm coming to the conclusion that insurance companies rule the world and that's why we're all getting so cautious about anything. I bet people said the same about 2d scans in the beginning! So I'm not sure, but interested if you hear anymore.

BOC - how bloody exciting! Only a few days to go... it's funny when I started here and I was 5 weeks, I simply could not comprehend being 20 weeks let alone 38. It's dead strange to be half way there already! Look after yourself for the next two weeks won't you. No running around!

Wantbaby - congratulations on your news.... that's wonderful. You must be pleased!

Wishes - and finally! About blumming time!!!! Glad you could join us... and a very warm welcome. All we need to do now is locate Persephone MIA and then we'll be away!

AFM. Well it's been a bit of a week for me. After the gastro/tiredness incident earlier in the week I've been taking it steady. Started getting pains in my stomach yesterday and still had them this morning, so I rang the RWH, and they told me to head in. I did, having sent off fussing DH who was on his way to the airport, and they checked me out. I was TOTALLY impressed with the hospital, and worth going for that reason alone! They had my file ready, I was in and out in an hour and my mind completely at rest. V glad I went, especially now I know that my pain is "normal" and I should just suck it up (that's not quite what they said but I paraphrase Biggest Loser style!). Then just been out with the team for lunch and we had a curry. I think I managed four mouthfuls before realising that 'the issue we don't mention' might be resolving itself .... in a curry house. Oh well. Even four mouthfuls have got little Miss kicking so that's good now I'm looking at the underside of my desk which looks very tempting for a two minute kip... hope you are all well and have lovely weekends ladies x
