Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Bloody hell Mark, that uniform you wore to work doesn't half put the beef on you! You look positivly svelte in that photo. How many jerseys did you used to wear? :D

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

:D :o :D

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

OK, not brilliant pictures but I took these this evening. Ive had a bad day and just needed to get out.... what better than to go and sit and look at the sea just before it gets dark....

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Very nice.

Hope your evening goes better than your day :)

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Awww I'm sorry Sarah. :( I hope you awake refreshed today. :) How much longer do you have to go? Less than 2 months, right? Did I read 6 weeks somewhere? Lovely photos, I hope you found the sea as calming as I do. :)

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Thanks... I feel slightly more calm this morning...its usual 3 year old problems with my son but it really got to me yesterday. In the evening I went down to see my horse and he gave me a huge horsey hug and then I went to look at the sea. I have a c-section booked for 10th January...just less than 6 weeks away. :scared:

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

My daughter recently turned 5, so I know exactly where you're coming from! Defiance is the name of the game right now, she's fighting for control (but will lose mua ha ha!!! :D ). Best of luck with the birth... I had a section, too. Unexpected, though. Apparently morphine has no effect on me, which wasn't fun to find out! :eek:

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Yep, I'm not getting defiance as such yet, I'm just being totally ignored, its like talking to a brick wall!!

Thanks, its just gotta be better than what I went through last time, thats why I've pushed for this c-section and Ive finally got my own way. I just packed my hospital bag this evening.... a bit prem I know but I keep hearing of babies coming early so I wanted to get organised.

I took loads of pictures of my horse out in his field last night too.... its lovely scenery down where he is and I deleted the whole lot by mistake last night before saving them..... doh!!!

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

MORE PIX!

Please :)

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Seriously you dont want a piccy of me at the moment!!! It would gross you out!
I just found some past piccys of me and now Im annoyed coz I was slim then and now Im fat.... grrr!!!

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Hey, you shagged the guy. Deal with it :D :D :D

PS Please dont get hormonal on me :D

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

lol.... no worries... you just made me laugh!! :D I keep saying to myself.... only 5 and a half more weeks to go then I wont be pregnant ever again..... can have my body back to myself!! :D :D

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

In labour yet then? :D

Now Im gonna really wind you up. my missus was in labour with Plankho for......wait for it...........22 minutes before he popped out :eek:

And with Live she was in labour. Start to finnish for how long?

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Ive heard of some labours being so short. An expat friend here almost popped one out in her hubbys car last month coz it takes us 20 minutes from here to get to hospital.

Hopefully Im not going into labour. C-section booked for 10th January.

So how long then?

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

5 mins and 47 seconds :eek:

She was on the loo when most of it happened. We had planned for a home birth because Plankho was so quick. But best laid plans and all that :)

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

OMG..... did the baby shoot down the loo then?? :D

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Nearly. Charlie just managed to get onto the bed. My mum did the rest until the midwife turned up :eek:

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Oh blimey!!! I worked with a lady who said she was in labour in hospital and the midwife turned around for a few seconds and the baby shot out whilst her back was turned.... you hear all sorts of birth stories dont you. :D Everybody keeps talling me gruesome c-section stories at the moment.... I dont really need to hear them.

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Come on :)

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

That is Lyttleton Harbour, very busy for its size. Its where our container landed.
Keeps my boy amused looking at all the ships being loaded/unloaded.

Hiya, I went to a christmas party in a house on the beach front yesterday, this is the view from the front of their house. The weather was pretty lousy, sorry the pics arnt too good but what a view eh?

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

They'll be stuffed when the tsunami (don't correst my spelling) comes then!!!! :(

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Funny enough I said that to OH yesterday and he just poo-pooed my comment. The front garden was so close to the beach I imagine if there was even an extra high tide they might be in trouble. We tried to guess how much the section was worth but it literally runs into millions! :eek:

Re: The Great New Zealand picture thread
 

Ahh they probably just rent it!!!! they could be pretending!!! :D
