Today I've mostly bin...

[Bunnylump]

I may have been easier if I was an illegal alien

Nanu Nanu?

Laura when my friend was late having one of her children I made her eat the hottest chilli ever, drink a pint of beer and go for a walk. That worked. My children were both early (one of them was nearly 2 months early ) so I don't know that feeling myself, but it must be awful. Poor Li'l Sis!! Fingers crossed that it doesn't go on too long.

[lilsis]

Well, 4 days and counting If bun is anything to go by, it'll be another week before making an appearance. Harumph!

[Bunnylump]

OOOoh, poor you. You must be getting fed up with the waiting. But it'll be worth it! This is lovely, exciting news for a change. It'll cheer me up after a pretty rubbish week. Can't wait to find out what you have. )

[giraffe]

None of mine turned up on time and even after waiting an extra 2 weeks they needed prompting to arrive, so I fully sympathise. At 42 weeks you daren't even go to the supermarket in case something happens!

[Bunnylump]

...Although surely that would warrant lots of free baby stuff from Sainsbury's??

[giraffe]

Not if you're in Tesco!

[lilsis]

A few shops (Boots, Mothercare, M&S) give you free stuff (nappies/vouchers) if your waters break while you're in there. Spent a good 5 hours traipsing round town on Thursday but alas, nothing.

Its going to be a Christmas baby at this rate.

[Laura]

It had better not be!!! I'll come give you a prod and tell it to get a move on!!! xxx

[Bunnylump]

Ok, I'm going to have a guess. I'll say Sunday night, boy. Will I get a prize if I'm right, I wonder? (Or will Li'l Sis just come and punch me because she can't wait that long?? )

[gill216]

Both of my children were late arriving. I'll join in the guessing. Tuesday 15th, evening and its a girl. Hate to tell you this but my grandson was due 29th April, arrived 14th May and that was after 4 days of induction and nothing happening there either.

[Bunnylump]

Tuesday 15th? Wasn't that yesterday?

[giraffe]

Next Thursday, Girl.

[gill216]

Tuesday 15th? Wasn't that yesterday?

I meant the 22nd

[chazzie]

Early Sat morning - Boy!

[LAT]

Tomorrow and another boy!

....ready to bale out of buying a house.

Solicitor phoned the house I'm, trying to buy has not got it's final building certificate (ours and the one next door), it is 4 years old and been sold once and repossessed (so the last person got a mortgage without the certificate, but how we will never know), so now I have to wait to see if they can find the developer to get the outstanding bill paid before the certificate is issued! Anybody know of a good cardboard box manufactuer where I can get enough to build a house.

and if we are taking bets on babies I say a boy as well on Sunday.

[gill216]

Strep- this is costing you money already. My SIL had problems but she stuck with it-and got the vendor to pay the additional solicitors fees etc. Its a buyers market. Don't forget that. You have the sick to wield- not the BS who is selling it.

[strep98]

Trouble is it's the bank that's selling it and I'm not sure if they will be prepared to pay anything.

[giraffe]

Surely without the certificate they won't be able to sell it to anyone.

[Bunnylump]

Aw Strep, whatever will it be next? You must be so cheesed off! Hope they get it sorted for you quickly. <Big hug>
