Hi Dee. No she still hasn't arrived. If I haven't had her by next Tues then I have to go in for the sweep to hopefully get things moving. If that doesn't work then they will call me back to be induced. I have been advised to eat plenty of pineapples and have lots of sex (lol thats the last thing I feel like doing) ;D to get my uterus to contract. But fingers crossed she will come pretty soon on her own, naturally. Shouldn't Kim be back from her hols by now? Caz, any news?? You will know the date now unless you have already had her??

Caz - you've let me down, I was convinced you'd have had her by now Castor oil, a small bottle drunk in orange juice - it is vile, but started labour a week early with two of mine - it gives you the runs but it's worth it to avoid being induced! We got back at 2.30 this morning, the plane was on time and we were ahead of schedule, then a woman was taken ill on the plane and we had to make an emergency landing in bloody Budapest and were stuck on the runway for nearly 3 hours, they wouldn't let us off the plane. Happily that was practically all that went wrong for the entire holiday, it was absolutely fantastic and lived up to all expectations. Even though I had really swollen ankles from the flight over there which I burned the first day, which infected (infected sunburn is not good ) and was confined to our bungalow for five days with no sun, no sea, no alcohol and no spicy food, it still didn't spoil the holiday - the island we went to truly was a dream destination. I'll show you some photos as soon as I'm organised.

OMG Kim, poor you! It must've been heavenly if your not whingeing after that!! I can't wait to see the pics, just to see if the sea is really that blue and the sand that white or if they just photoshop them in the brochures ;D I wonder if Caz tries the cod liver oil, it might not be better than pineapples but I bet it seems better than the other option right now ;D Oh well Caz, at least she will be here next week Btw Kim, you haven't missed anything on X Factor, its been cr*p!!

Kim the photos are fantastic. Wow what a beautiful place. No wonder you didn't want to come home. It looks like paradise. It looks like you had the island to yourselves. Did you? Was you okay with the long flight? You both look really brown. Who is the guy in the photo on his own standing in what looks like a rainforest? I will give the castor oil a go if nothing has happened by Sunday. Hubby's mum mentioned that as well, but she forgot to mention you put it with something. ;D It must work then. Here's hoping.

Dee the brochures don't do it justice, the scenery was stunning. Caz - the island was completely booked (in fact they were over booked and asked us when we arrived if we would spend one night in a beach bungalow instead of the water bungalow and they would give us every trip we wanted to go on free, plus dinner on the beach, a basket of fruit for our room and a bottle of good wine with dinner on our first night which worked out about £300 of stuff - of course we agreed ;D). The bungalows were so nice with two sun loungers on the patio which had steps leading straight into the sea, most people stayed in them during the day - it was all couples, lots were on honeymoon. The guy in the 'rainforest' is Craig, that was on the walk to the restaurant. Yuk, there is no way you could drink Castor oil straight, it is vile - but worth it if it works Just read through the other posts and if you can avoid the pethadine do, it affects the baby as it crosses the placenta and makes them dopey for a little while after the birth - I had it with Jay (after the epidural didn't work) and felt everything - it just made me sleep between contractions. As Dee said you forget the pain when the baby is put in your arms and it's not like normal pain - you know when it's eventually going to end and there is a purpose to it - I'm a real wuss with pain, but I've had four without epidurals (they don't work on me for some reason ) which proves it isn't that bad.

lol Kim. The reason I asked who the guy was is because Craig looks like he is in his 30's on that photo. I thought you had got yourself a toyboy. ;D Mind you though, you don't look your age either. I'd love to know what both your secret is. Did you have a good Birthday? Sounds like you were spoilt rotten. No other holiday you have will probably ever come close now.

PMSL @ the ads!! ;D ;D They really must go on content! ;D Kim, your photo's are amazing, are you sure you haven't got photoshop at home, the sea looks unbelievable! It sounds and looks as though you had a fantastic time and the one night in the beach bungalow was definately worth it! I really have to go there but I don't know if I would survive the flight I can't believe the epidural didn't work on you Kim, poor you! I didn't have pethidine but I had diamorphine and gas & air and I'm sure they made me sick. I was starving after I had Liam and because I missed tea time, Paul smuggled me some chips in from the chippy I only ate a few before throwing up. The gas & air had no effect whatsoever, just made me waffle on about ridiculous things like putting the monitor(that was monitoring the baby in the womb) on the Christmas tree because it had a little red and green light on it, I was deadly serious!!! The diamorphine was ok and helped me sleep for a while but the epidural was the dogs b*ll*cks!! ;D

I just found this on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zia72VpCVQ4I was gutted he didn't make it. What is even more maddening was that after all the praise he got at the auditions, he wasn't even shown singing at bootcamp, you just caught a glimpse of him I would like to say he was probably beaten by better singers but I know thats not the case Maybe he is a threat for the chosen one this year

I won't tell Craig what you said Caz - his head is big enough as it is He is a toy boy though, he's five years younger than me My birthday was great and not one I'll forget in a hurry. I managed to avoid the waiters singing Happy Birthday by leaving the restaurant sharply, but when we got back to the room the room boy had decorated our bed which was lovely. I felt rotten having to shift the flowers to get in Dee I read Ben Elton's Chart Throb while I was away and it is so obviously based on X Factor with all the fixes and contrivances it really makes you wonder. I think ITV are making a huge mistake this year by showing Rugby instead of Xf next week, especially as Strictly Come Dancing starts on Saturday. I think I may be watching that this year and watching XF repeats on ITV2, it is too obviously contrived now

Yeah Sam had a really good voice and should have got a lot further. That's how I felt about Ryan from the army as well, as they build them up through the audition stages and then come bootcamp you barely see them and they get booted off. The same happened with Jonathan who cared for his mum. He was being billed by the judges as the one to win, and yet he fell at the last hurdle and wasn't picked for the live shows. It always happens to my favourites, that's why I'm glad I don't have any at the moment.

Aww your room looked lovely Kim. It's nice how the little things that they do, do in fact go a long way. lol Yeah I don't want to give Craig a big head, we know what men are like. People are shocked when I tell them hubby is 40, they seem to think he is my age, but I never let on to him what they say. ;D

Dave is 40 Caz??? Your right, I would never have said that!!! Kim, your room looks gorgeous, how lovely of them to do that! I have heard about that book by Ben Elton, I may have to read it. I have no favourites either yet Caz. I've never watched SCD but I may have to start watching it too! I didn't know X Factor wasn't on next week

Yeah Dee, he was 40 in the July as I was 30 in the June. He keeps telling me black don't crack. ;D I tend to watch the X factor and tape SCD. I can't watch one without the other. Don't forget the X factor is on in two parts this week. First part Saturday night for an hour and the second on Sunday, also for an hour. Dave is 40 Caz??? Your right, I would never have said that!!! Kim, your room looks gorgeous, how lovely of them to do that! I have heard about that book by Ben Elton, I may have to read it. I have no favourites either yet Caz.
