    My best friend is pregnant, hasn't told her parents yet despite being 4 mths gone. She told a mutual close friend, who told her sister who told other people and now it's out.

    Obviously my friend is so upset - swears she's finished with the friend that told. I'm quite disgusted with her too, to be honest but it's not my business/kind of childish to fall out with her too.

    Today Im going to start buying things for the baby. A couple of small things every week until times up, and put it altogether in a pretty baby hamper and surprise her with it before baby is born. I am so excited for her and for it to arrive. Going to be the best non-auntie this baby will have ha!

    Has your friend talked to her parents yet?

    Jujibee, she hasn't. I told her last night she needs to do it NOW because a - she'll feel better and b - it would break her dads heart to hear it from someone else as they are very close. As it is, her dads noticing something isn't right. To be honest he probably has a fair idea. She tried tell him a few weeks ago but started crying and couldn't get it out although she said it was just sitting there, in the back of her throat, she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

    When we were 19 my best friend got pregnant, she knew when she was about 8 weeks gone, told me, my mum and another friend, but didn't tell her mum until she was about 4.5 months gone. When she decided to tell her mum she said "Mum, I've something to tell you", and her mum said "You're pregnant aren't you". Her change in behaviour, lack of nights out etc meant her mother knew something was up. Must be such a tough thing to tell parents when it's unexpected.

    I told my mom that i was pregnant at around 6 weeks, didnt tell dad till i was around 10 weeks. They were ok with it, i wasnt living at home, dad thought i ruined my life but once my young lady was born they were delighted. I was 18 when i got pregnant and 19 when i had her. She is the my mothers only female grandchild so is spoilt rotten by her.

    Its not the worst thing to tell your mom or dad, and once they are over the shock they can (but not always) be a rock of support!

    If he needs 4 new tyres it's a very practical, thoughtful gift :D Don't take my word for it though. I'm shite when it comes to giving presents :o

    I think it'd be a good Father's Day gift too! I'm about to head into town to get a pressie for my dad too, not a clue what to get him. Also need to get running shoes too for myself, my poor Laser card :eek:

    Procrastinating by looking up the odds that Spain and Croatia are going to play for a 2-2 draw, therefore shutting out Italy...

    Awesome sleep was all kinds of awesome:D

    Kiera, a dodgy leg wouldn't bother me in the slightest:D

    I told my mom when I was about 7 weeks...I had planned to cook her a nice meal, have a nice desert, pour her a nice drink and tell her calmly.

    Opened the door...she hadn't even stepped inside when I blurted....

    ''MOMI'VESOMETHINGTOTELLYOUI'MPREGNANTPLEASEDON'THATEME''


    She asked me was I happy, I sez I was, she gave me a big hug and we went and had nice dinner.

    Friends of mine asked for charity donations at their wedding, so much easier to donate €50 to their choice and be done with it...

    Of course. It works well, it means you are getting them what they actually need.

    Stops them getting 5 blenders, or 10 coffee machines.

    Yeah, I won't be having any list if I get married :p

    For my friends wedding I made them up a hamper of stuff I knew they'd like- sweets, ps3 games for him, awesome baking stuff for her and a few random fun toys from the gadget shop.
    They were so happy to get something other than a vase or photo frame (they got 13 vases in total!). Personal is always better :)
